Aerobic-rider
You can’t go very far without finding a new kind of exercise equipment out there. A few years ago, the aerobic rider was the big craze. They were advertised for sale everywhere, and the features toted were that they gave you a good workout, that you would burn a lot of calories, and that they were significantly better than other aerobic exercise machines on the market.
Unfortunately, it appears that the calorie-burning claims were overstated. In an independendt study of several different calorie burning aerobics workouts it turned out that the aerobic rider burned the least calories of any of them. This is probably due to the way that your body weight doesn’t really do much to increase the resistance of the machine. However, if it did this better, then most people wouldn’t be able to use it.
Why did the aerobic rider sell so fast?
Although it was kind of a dud fitness-wise, it still sold lots and lots of units in the United States alone. The reasons for this are varied. One big reason is the hype around it. Most people who are looking to get fit are looking for an easier way to do it. Therefore, they’ll jump at any fitness machine like the aerobic rider that claims to give a good workout without feeling like it. Generally early purchasers don’t have time to look up whether or not the workout is going to be worth the money.
Some people do enjoy the aerobic rider, however. If you like this type of exercise, then there’s no reason not to have an aerobic rider. The only thing that you should keep in mind is that you’ll have to do more exercise to burn the same amount of calories that you would if you were walking on a treadmill. Therefore, it is recommended that the aerobic rider be used in a situation where you would ordinarily just be sitting still – like watching television.
How much does an aerobic rider cost?
There is a wide price range on new aerobic riders. They range from $150 on the low end all the way up to $500 for the most expensive brand names. However, you do not need to spend this much money on the fitness equipment, as there are many people who are tired of their riders and are looking to sell them. You can get a used aerobic rider for as little as $50, so check the classified ads!
In the end, the aerobic rider might be a fun piece of exercise equipment if you’re looking for a simple, quiet form of exercise. However, the rider will not burn nearly as many calories as other forms of aerobic exercise.
