Correct posture on a spinning bike | Precautions
There are also many things that need to be paid attention to when using a spinning bicycle. If the posture is incorrect, not only will it be impossible to exercise, but it will also cause harm to the body.
Four key points for correct posture when using a spinning bike
1. Seat height
Before using a spinning bike, you must first check and adjust the spinning bike to avoid some injuries from the beginning and exercise in the most correct and comfortable posture.
The most suitable height for a spinning bicycle seat is the height close to the human body's hips when standing upright next to the bicycle, so that the knee joint can form a slight bend when the pedal is at its lowest point.
Don't adjust the seat too low, otherwise it will put too much pressure on the knees and put the knee joints at great risk of damage; don't adjust the seat too high, as this will be detrimental to exerting force.
2. The distance between the seat and the handle
The close distance between the seat and the handlebars will result in a very short distance between the body and the handlebars. This will force the knee joint forward and put pressure on the knee joint, causing greater damage.
When using a spinning bike, your knees should not go past your toes, but the seat should not be too far away from the handlebars.
3. Handle height
Some people like to adjust the height of the handlebars of the spinning bike very low when riding a spinning bike, so that the back has a large curvature and the entire body forms an arch.
When you first practice, you may feel that this posture is more handsome, stylish, and convenient for the legs to exert force;
However, long-term exercise will have adverse effects on the spine, especially the cervical and lumbar spine. In severe cases, you may need to go to the hospital.
Under normal circumstances, after adjusting the seat, adjust the handle to the height of the seat, keep your back as straight as possible, and perform normal and reasonable movements.
4. No resistance
Spin bikes also have a braking system, but the wheels on a spin bike are much heavier than ordinary bikes. If you cannot control the rotational force, you may be injured.
Before use, you can add some resistance according to your leg strength and body endurance, and use the brakes reasonably and correctly.
The effect of spinning on a spinning bike is great for reducing fat and shaping body shape. However, because the exercise intensity is relatively high, it is easy to get injured. During exercise, you must pay attention to the correct posture and amount of exercise, and exercise scientifically and reasonably.
