Which cardio equipment is right for your home gym? We break down the pros and cons of each to help you decide.
You want the highest calorie burn, prefer walking or running, have enough space (8'x3' minimum), and don't have joint issues. Treadmills are ideal for runners training for races.
You have joint issues, limited space, live in an apartment, or want quieter equipment. Bikes are perfect for low-impact cardio and interval training.
For a complete home gym, get both! Alternate between them to prevent workout boredom and target different muscle groups.
Treadmills burn more calories - about 100 more per hour than exercise bikes at similar effort levels. Running burns more than cycling.
Exercise bikes are much better for bad knees. They're completely low-impact and don't stress the joints like treadmills do.
