Accessories for exercise bikes: mats, mats, lubricants

ACCESSORIES FOR EXERCISE BIKES

Exercise bikes are in great demand both among fans of fitness clubs and those who prefer home workouts. A modern cardio simulator is a self-sufficient and completely ready-to-use equipment. But still, there are accessories for exercise bikes that help you use the equipment more efficiently and comfortably, as well as extending their service life.

Accessories for cardio equipment are inexpensive products that many do without. But at the same time, having used these positions just once, everyone recognizes that they are simply necessary for them. Products in this category are divided into two groups. The first includes those that are directly related to the operation of the fitness machine by users. In the second - necessary for maintenance and repair.

Protective mats and mats

Although home and professional exercise bikes are equipped with elastic pads on the legs, these details are often not enough to protect the flooring. The equipment vibrates and even shifts during use, so it can damage linoleum, laminate, carpet or tile. It is the need to protect the floors from mechanical stress that is the main reason to buy a rug for an exercise bike or a mat.

There are other reasons for such an acquisition. Some users want to zone the room with this coating, while others want to feel a shock-absorbing and heat-insulating coating under their feet. There are also those to whom this sports accessory adds confidence by obtaining additional stability of the simulator. In any case, a rug or mat will not be superfluous, and you yourself will find many advantages of such an acquisition.

Chest heart rate monitors

All modern exercise bikes are equipped with heart rate sensors built into the handlebars. But for most home and even commercial models, with the exception of premium ones, these sensors are not very accurate. Wet palms, incorrect position of hands on the steering wheel, and pollution additionally reduce the quality of measurements. In this regard, many athletes prefer to use chest straps for exercise bikes.

If the equipment supports telemetry, then this is the most optimal solution in terms of efficiency and comfort. Without wires, the device can accurately transmit readings to a computer in the console of the simulator at a distance of up to 80 cm. At the same time, there is no error due to high humidity and other factors - readings are taken directly on the chest.

Lubricant for exercise bikes

The mechanism of an exercise bike, like any other cardio equipment, requires periodic lubrication. Of course, only a specialist or at least a knowledgeable person should carry out this operation, but the lubricant should be at hand. Lubricant for an exercise bike can be either universal, suitable for different nodes where there is friction, or in the form of kits for different parts. Some manufacturers indicate in the passport of the simulator the brand and even the name of the lubricant that must be used when servicing the equipment.
