HOW TO SET UP YOUR SPIN BIKE

May 23, 2022 by MageneFitness

Spin bikes are easy to use and highly effective in fat burning, thus being popular with fitness people. During use, there are many things to pay attention to. If the posture is incorrect, it will not only fail to achieve the exercise targets but also cause damage to the body.

Four key points of the correct posture for riding a spin bike

1. Seat height

Before using a spin bike, check and adjust it to avoid some injuries from the beginning and exercise in the most comfortable posture.

The most appropriate height of the spin bike seat is the height close to the human buttock when standing upright beside the bike, at which the knee joint can form a slight curvature when the pedal is at the lowest point.

Do not make the seat too low, otherwise, too much pressure will be exerted on the knee, and the knee joint is at great risk of damage; do not make it too high either, which is not conducive to exercise.

2. Distance between seat and handle

The short distance between the seat and the handle means a short distance between the body and the handle, which forces the knee joint forward and exerts pressure on the knee joint, causing greater injury.

The knee should not be above the toe tip when using a spin bike. However, the seat should not be too far from the handle.

3. Handle height

Some people like to adjust the height of the handle to a very low level so that the spine has a big curve and the whole body is bowed.

This posture may be handsome, stylish, and convenient for leg exercise in the beginning;

however, long-term exercise in such a way may have adverse effects on the spine, especially the cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra. In severe cases, hospitals may be required.

Under normal circumstances, after adjusting the seat, adjust the handle to the height of the seat, keep the back as straight as possible, and exercise normally and reasonably.

4. Gradually adjust resistance in your first ride

Spin bikes have a braking system, but their wheels are much heavier than those of ordinary bikes. If you cannot control the rotating force, you may be injured.

Before use, you can add some resistance according to your leg strength and body condition, and use the brake reasonably and correctly.

The fat burning and trimming effect of the spin bike is great, but also because of the high intensity of exercise, you are prone to injuries. During exercise, attention must be paid to the correct posture and the amount of exercise. Exercise should be scientific and reasonable.

What are the benefits of using spin bikes?

I. Enhancing muscle strength

There is no doubt that anyone with basic exercise experience knows that long-term consistent exercise is conducive to muscle strength enhancement.

You may schedule your riding time: three to four times a week, and 40 to 60 minutes for each time. A proper ride will shape the muscles well.

Spin bikes are used to exercise the muscles of the lower limbs, which maintain the legs and buttocks in a better shape.

II. Enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness

Spin bike riding is an aerobic exercise that burns about 500 kilocalories per program and greatly enhances the cardiorespiratory fitness of riders.

All parts of the human body depend on oxygen. Oxygen burns the energy stored in the body to activate the organs and muscles. Good cardiorespiratory fitness guarantees good physical function, therefore, chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, endocrine system diseases, and respiratory system diseases are less likely to occur.

III. Creating the atmosphere

The reason why using “spin” in the name of the bike is that the word presents a stronger rhythm and more interesting feeling. For both online and offline group training, riders can adjust riding speeds and resistance according to the rhythm of the playing rhythmic music, which allows the exercise process more passionate and makes it easier for riders to adhere to and achieve goals.

Friction Vs Magnetic Vs Electromagnetic Resistance for Spin Bikes

May 18, 2022 by MageneFitness

1. Friction Resistance Spin Bikes

Principle of resistance adjustment: The resistance is adjusted through the physical friction between the brake disk and the flywheel. Generally, this adjustment mode will generate noise due to physical friction, and the resistance change is not smooth enough, so the adjustment range is small.

Disadvantages: The accuracy is relatively poor, and the adjustment is prone to be over-limit or not enough. Another disadvantage is that the flywheel will generate inertia during riding. Sometimes, if you do not pay attention to it, your feet will slide away from the pedal easily, causing certain danger.

2. Magnetic Resistance Spin Bikes

Principle of resistance adjustment: Magnets are installed on both sides of the metal flywheel, and the resistance is adjusted by controlling the distance between the magnet and the flywheel via a wire motor. The particular strong magnet material is used to realize a balanced state of no friction and non-contact suspension between the large flywheel and the magnet. The movement resistance can be controlled through the distance adjustment and the resistance level can be adjusted more accurately.

Advantages: no friction, ultra-quiet; low loss, no change of accessories for life; high smoothness, never getting stuck during riding; automatic resistance control, no manual adjustment needed; linking with sports app, various programs.

3. Electromagnetic Resistance Spin Bikes

Principle of resistance adjustment: mainly includes the magnetic effect of electric current and Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, namely, the process in which the conductor in the magnetic field cuts the magnetic line of force to generate induced current, and the magnetic field creates ampere force (Lorentz force) on the live conductor. If the bike keeps powered on, the user experience is better. It is the highest-end bike product in the market.

Compared with ordinary magnetic resistance bikes, except for the quiet effect, automatic resistance adjustment, and more smart programs, electromagnetic resistance spin bikes also have the following advantages:

1. The adjustment speed is faster. The adjustment from the highest gear to the lowest gear needs less than 0.1s, while the wire motor takes at least 3s-5s.

2. The adjustment granularity is finer. The resistance adjustment can be divided into 1,000 gears, while the wire motor can achieve 32 gears at most.

3. The power accuracy is higher, up to ±5%, while the wire motor has poor accuracy, generally ±20-30%.

MAGENE smart spin bike is a quiet and compact smart bike specially designed for fat burning and trimming, with electromagnetic resistance perfect for the household. The smart bike adopts the EMS patented electromagnetic resistance technology independently developed and realizes accurate power calculation and control through the multi-dimensional power compensation algorithm. In comparison with traditional spin bikes, it features a more smart experience, richer programs, and more scientific exercise methods. Moreover, MAGENE has cooperated with several world-renowned software service providers so that the bike is compatible with more than 20 mainstream cycling and sports apps.
