From working out in gyms or with personal trainers to nowadays working out with fitness apps, smart screens and trackers, customized live workout sessions and much more — the world of fitness has definitely evolved a lot in the recent years. Thanks to the ongoing pandemic, we have seen an increased emphasis on at-home workouts off late; so much so, it has become the ‘new norm’ for a plethora of fitness enthusiasts in India and across the world. When it comes to ‘indoor’ or ‘home based’ workouts, while there’s nothing wrong with pumping iron, but there’s still something to be said for putting down your dumbbells and stepping out-of-the box, right?
While running on a treadmill isn’t really for everyone, an indoor exercise bike, on the other hand, can prove to be an effective and indispensable fitness equipment to work on your cardio and overall fitness regime. With the era of connected new-age fitness being started already, there are plenty of options for indoor spin bikes that will serve you well.
Here are the best spin bikes/indoor cycles to look out for:
