Airbike vs Bike Erg: Training Effect Comparison
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- While they’re both technically ‘bikes’, the airbike and the bike erg apply a very different stimulus to the body. And with a different stimulus comes a different adaptation, and different training effect for each.
In this video, we explore the differences in the physiological effects these two machines can have on the body, and how coaches and athletes can use them both to their advantage.
I had an air bike in the early 90s, everything thing that was old is new again, now 3 times the price, does exactly the same thing in did 90s, best cadrio. wore it out
Good luck ever wearing out the Rogue Echo Bike though. Hahaha
Wow the best and most informative comparison I've encountered yet! I'm sold on the airbike. It seems the other bikes are better if you're a cyclist, but airbike is best for overall health.
The air bike jacks your cardio very quickly.
I've got an echo bike, so great product, love it every day more... I'm get use to train twice a day, extra work from regoular box wod. 6:00 am with 45 minute 120 pulse, and HIIT in the afternoon. Great way to loose weight and build a good engine....
Great explanation of the concepts of super compensation. I learned something today.
I own the echo and it's a beast. It's big, heavy, sturdy, smooth but if you want to train for riding go with the other style. If you want a full body HIIT workout the Echo is perfect. You can go as hard as you can and the bike will still win. I weigh 300 lbs. and the bike is as smooth as silk.
This is extremely informative… I liked the way you analyzed the training effects of each machine. I’m really having a hard time deciding, even then. Leaning toward the BikeErg because I think I’d be using it at a range of intensities as opposed to focusing on the peak efforts commonly associated with the Echo… still hard to decide, I know the echo can be used at a lower intensity and I do like the upper body involvement… I haven’t tried a BikeErg in person, but have tried the Echo. BikeErgs don’t seem super common around me so I would like to give one a try before I make the buy on it either way.
I have a bike erg and was thinking of getting an air bike what I noticed with the air bikes is the quack factor where your knees shoot out to the side when peddling because of the size of the machine
thanks man, the best explanation about Air Bike vs Bike Erg
Thank you N1cks :)
Thank you for such deep and detailed comparison. You rock! 💚👍
İ have Orbitrek , is it good ?
I like to use an exercise bike both for conditioning and also to blast my quads with high resiatance pedaling. I was wondering which might stimulate more leg hypertrophy-- a Bike Erg where the resistance increases the faster and harder you pedal or a bike with friction or magnetic resistance turned up that you must pedal in a slow grind?
Both the same as you can turn up the resistance to however hard you want it to be. Also, the Bike Erg doesn't increase resistance the faster you peddle, rather it's controlled by the damper setting (the lever on the side of the flywheel).
Thanks for such a informative and useful information.......The best yet simple explanation.
Great video, very useful knowledge, very well presented. Thank you.
this is the exact video i was looking for. nice one
Great video! N learned a new thing on super compensation principle 🙏🏼
Ask Matt Fraser - 5x crossfit champion - Erg Bike.
And what about Airbike vs Rower ? Thanks
Is there such a thing as a hybrid bike with both options using legs only or arms + legs? The arm handles can either disengage or lock from the drive-train so you can pedal standing with stable handlebars. This way you would have a normal spin bike you can pedal standing up, and an arms + legs air bike all in one machine.
If such a bike exists please send links. If it doesn't exist please someone invent it.
A hybrid arms and legs bike would be A 100% guaranteed best seller.
which to buy for long using?
Really informative video. Thank you for making this
Which one is good for a bit of muscle growth in whole body
Lift some weights to gain the muscle, use either of these for cardio when cutting down.
Ik this is a 6 month old comment but i see a lot of comments like this on these types of videos.
Both of these bikes are more focused on cardio and not muscle building.
You want bigger legs?
Do squats, deadlifts, glute raises.
what brand and model is the air bike? thoughts on an around 800 dollar good one?
That is a Rogue Echo Bike
salutations, Range of Motion. particularly cool video. thanks. :)
Thank you!
Super clear, great vid!
with airbike can I build my legs like with erg bike or not? Also after meniscus surgery which do you consider best for rehabilitation?
I think Erg Bike works more your legs
You could not use the handles. That would make it entirely lower body
@@oneeyeman6118 there's nothing to hold on to and it's hard to get it started without the arms
Can you start out w/arms &legs and alternate w/legs only sometimes or the other way around arms only no wheels .i like it but if it doesn't work without moving handlebars always then it's something to think about.
Limited space I dont want to end up with 2 bikes
Hats off to the girl riding the bike with the cast/boot on!! 👏 👏
Witch one will be good for boxing to get fitter?
Our preference would be an airbike.
I find the limiting factor on the air bike to be my lower quads. It doesnt bring in the usebof thr hip flexors and upper quads like a regular bike would.
Airbike's resistance, uniquely, increases as user's speed increases.
if you live in a double storey house
get up and down the stairs for 30 mins non stop
thats way better than any assault bike and fancy treadmill in terms of burning calories.
plus point your legs get a kickass workout
People like to waste a ton of money in buying these overpriced equipment in the name of convenience.
Instead you are better of investing that same money in a power rack with olympic bar a adjustable bench and free weights
Very comprehensive
Echo bike is the champ for martial arts cardio
I just wanna burn fat.. Which one is better?
Air bike
Great explanation earns a sub ... but I've got a related question. Do you think the Echo is too tough for an middle-aged, sedentary and overweight person to use ... in other words, can one "grow" into it?
If you enjoy short fast workouts as in HIIT, its probably a good choice. You can do 20 min or longer slower workouts but i think there are much better and more versatile pieces of equipment. I find that my lifefitness elliptical can do it all and I probably didnt really need the Echo. But dont tell my wife I said that🙂
@@jerseyjim9092 elliptical is my fav, you can reverse to hit more muscles and more range of movement > these 2 bikes overall.
@@wulver810 The Elliptical is still my primary cardio equipment but I'm trying to get a take a more balanced approach, so I'm using the Echo and Treadmill more.
Which is best to train for a 10K Spartan Obstacle course race?
Dude in white has horrible bike positions. He’s going to damage his lower back with such excessive hip rocking. Saddle too high
I think airbike is much better because it is stimulating nearly all over your body hence your growth hormone will raise up and you will gain much more muscle hytrophy than spin bike but you shouldn't overtrain , it will do reverse effect on your muscle growth
do you get bigger shoulders and chests from air bike? im interested in buying one
@@neweartharise2059 no you wont, actually if you wanna be bigger you should lift weight this is the only way to produce muscle gain , air bike is for fat reducing
@@emirkaanyamal567 i cant bcs i have carpal tunnel syndrom on both hands and it is painful if i lift weights....thats why i search for alternative
@@neweartharise2059 i hope you feel better soon , airbikes are better for full body workouts because it can stimulate upper and lower body , of course it will affect your body in positive way and can help keep you in shape however if your goal is getting bigger maybe you should workout with your bodyweight like push-ups , forgive me i dont know if it is affect by your syndrom it is just an idea , other than that airbikes can support your goal slightly , thats it have a nice day .
@@emirkaanyamal567 Thank you Emir. My goal is not really to get big , im gd with let say 80 kg, i have 70 kg now. But i want bigger legs and little bigger upper body, thats why i wonder if this airbike would help to at least gain 5-10 kgs. With proper food and protein supliments ofcourse.
tnx bro
thanks Australian chase utley
"Whatever that limiting factor is, is what it will train" @__@
dude reminds me Jesse Pinkman
