The stationary bike is one of the most popular machines at most gyms, but have you ever considered welcoming one into your home? If you love spinning as much as we do, you’ve probably thought about buying your own exercise bike. Here are three things you should consider before investing in one.

Making Room

A stationary bike isn’t exactly something you’d want to have in a small apartment. If you’re thinking of buying it, it’s important to have enough room in your home. Pick a spot where it’s going to be and stick to it since stationary bikes tend to be pretty heavy and moving them around every time you want to exercise isn’t exactly such a good idea.

Getting Bored?

A lot of people who end up buying stationary bikes get bored of them in a few weeks or months. This might happen to you, as well, if you’re not already a huge fan of spinning workouts. Make sure to give them a try and figure out if you want to do them long-term before buying a stationary bike.

Other Forms of Exercise

If you feel like a stationary bike is a good investment because you can cancel your gym membership and ditch other forms of exercise, think again. Spinning is an amazing workout, but you shouldn’t rely solely on it because it’s important to add variety to your routine to get a full-body workout and avoid burnout.
