Spin classes have become a huge part of fitness over the past decade. Sweating while cycling on a bicycle in a studio with an instructor while music plays is a terrific way to get some much needed cardio and work out your arms and legs as well. But if you don’t have time to make it to the studio a few times a week and want to get that same great workout at home, a stationary exercise bike can be a great purchase. With a stationary exercise bike, you’ll be able to set your own pace and spin as long as you want or can. There’s plenty of great options available, so we’ve picked out some of our favorites to get you in the saddle.
Work towards your goals
For heavier cyclists, it isn’t always easy to find suitable stationary bikes to ride on.

The large LCD window screen shows distance, calories burned, time, speed, pulse and scan. The heart rate sensors are built into the handles. It can be folded up to 22″ x 20″ x 5.5″ for simpler storage.
