The difference between an elliptical machine and a spinning bike

Elliptical machine and spinning bicycle are aerobic fitness equipment, whether in the gym or family horizontal, are more common exercise fitness equipment, they are active exercise to drive fitness equipment, safety is better, the mute effect is also good.
But these two are still different, to understand the difference between these two aerobic fitness equipment, we mainly through the following points of comparison:
1. Comparison of exercise areas
Elliptical machine exercise parts more than spinning, elliptical machine weight loss after the body effect is more symmetrical than spinning.
Elliptical machine with hands and feet, can train the coordination of the upper and lower limbs, can reduce fat, but also for the body parts of the shape, to lift the hip, thin thighs, thin waist, thin arms, back training are of great help.
Spinning is mainly the lower limbs to participate in the exercise, the upper limbs are basically not moving, and the exercise parts are not enough.
2. Comparison of caloric expenditure
The exercise intensity of a spinning bike is often greater than that of an elliptical machine and consumes more calories.
Spinning bicycle to see its name to guess how passionate it is, spinning bicycle you ride up, the instinct to want to improve the intensity, especially combined with some dynamic music, often a movement of strength will be relatively large.
When you step on the elliptical machine, you will not have the impulse to speed up, because the human body standing posture is to move slowly and gently, but if you want to strengthen the degree, it can actually consume about the same amount of calories as the spinning bicycle.
This is the structural design of these two devices, the subconscious impact on human movement, and then affect the intensity of the movement process.
3. Comparison of weight loss speed
In the short term, spinning can lose weight faster than elliptical machines.
The process of spinning is more intense, consumes more calories, and is easier to lose fat quickly in a short period of time.
However, standing in a longer time range, adhere to the use of these two kinds of fitness equipment, can effectively reduce fat, and the effect of fat reduction of the elliptical machine will be better, because the elliptical machine is a whole body aerobic exercise, you can practice a body evenly fit body.
4. Comparison of knee injuries
The degree of damage to the knee of the elliptical machine is much less than that of the spinning bike, and the elliptical machine has the least damage and is very safe.
The elliptical machine is especially recommended for people who are overweight or have bad knees.
If the posture is not correct, the knee, especially the joint socket, is most likely to be injured, common symptoms of knee pain, medical called periostitis.
5. Use security comparisons
Elliptical machines are much safer than spinning bikes.
The elliptical machine will not cause damage to the knee, the human body takes the initiative to drive the machine, the movement rhythm is better controlled, and there will be no safety accidents.
When the use of a spinning bicycle is more intense, when people pedal at high speed, they suddenly stop, do not brake in time, the footsteps may be driven by flywheel inertia sprain, people who have a certain exercise habit can use it to master the rhythm
6. Comparison of floor space
Usually spinning bikes have a smaller footprint than elliptical machines.
Elliptical machine is divided into two kinds of structure design, the front flywheel and the rear flywheel, the front flywheel covers a larger area, the rear flywheel is smaller
