An air bike is a type of stationary exercise bike that utilizes a large fan to generate resistance. Unlike traditional stationary bikes that primarily focus on the lower body, an air bike provides a full-body workout.
- Mechanism: The pedals and handlebars are connected to a large fan. As you pedal with your legs and push and pull with your arms, the fan spins, creating wind resistance. The faster you move, the greater the resistance, making it suitable for all fitness levels.
- Workout Type: This dual-action design engages muscles in both the upper and lower body simultaneously, including the arms, chest, back, legs, and core. Air bikes are often used for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and CrossFit workouts due to their effectiveness in building endurance and burning calories.
