The plethora of machines at the gym do different things, sure — but you can’t go wrong when you choose one. Whether you walk, jog, or pedal, you’re bound to get your heart pumping for a healthy dose of exercise.
But if you have specific fitness goals in mind, that’s when the differences between treadmills and bikes start to matter.
“Both bikes and treadmills are great for training cardiovascular endurance,” David Robertson, an instructor at CycleBar, tells Bustle. “Both can also help you build strength in your legs, particularly by increasing resistance on a bike and increasing incline on a treadmill.”
The two machines diverge when it comes to their effects on your joints, the muscle groups they work, and the specific kinds of workouts you can do on each. And each has its advantages. Here, fitness trainers compare working out on a treadmill vs. a bike so you can pick the right one for your exercise needs.
