When it comes to cardio workouts, both exercise bikes and treadmills offer effective ways to burn calories and boost heart health. But which is best for you? According to Verywell Health, the answer depends on your fitness goals, joint health, and personal preferences.
Exercise bikes are a top pick for those with joint pain or arthritis, thanks to their low-impact design. They’re also adjustable and space-efficient. Treadmills, on the other hand, mimic outdoor walking or running and can burn more calories per minute-especially when running or using an incline.
Ultimately, the best machine is the one you’ll use consistently. Whether you prefer the gentle pedal of a bike or the stride of a treadmill, regular workouts and a healthy diet are key to weight loss and fitness success.
