Air Bike vs Spin Bike vs Rower: What's Better, Pros / Cons For Home Gym

[@hybridresistance]

UPDATE: I did go ahead and get an Echo Bike since this video, here's the review for that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqXJZayAhLGMqMU

[@dgjunior68]

I'M Looking to get an assault bike. Comparing belt vs chain. is it quieter? I alslo sold my concept 2 rower. just couldn't get into it consistently.

[@kebabimpaler]

I've been watching similar videos on and off for a few days and I have to say this is the most honest, coherent and compelling discussion I have seen thank you!

[@hybridresistance]

Thank you so much. I did recently get and review and Echo Bike. Here's the review in case you were interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqXJZayAhLGMqMU

[@JayB-JayB]

This is the coolest fitness channel on KZbin!

[@hybridresistance]

Too nice brother. Thank you as always

[@GundamCollection]

The mini stepper with twist step motion a personal favourite of mine, very underrated I think.

[@kailashsharma1030]

I’ve got an air bike, belt driven, quieter. Ironically had the ache in the forearm too, soltution for me is ro wrap my thumb around the handle. I like the fan bike for warm up up for weight training and occasional hit. The echo bike is the best if you have space and want to go crazy on it😀. Keeep up the good videos

[@hybridresistance]

I tried your tip yesterday and I can't believe that worked! Thanks brother.

[@Agent_G_33]

You hit the nail on the head regarding the C2. It's great, but not fun every day. I got the Rogue Echo a few years ago and never looked back. I use it for steady-state cardio while watching tv for 30+ minutes at a time, and it doesn't get old even using it daily. I did, however, get a different seat that is more forgiving for big dudes, and some add-on vertical handles (this would really help with the handle issue you mentioned). Also, if you pedal backwards, its similar to backwards dead-mill training (knees-over-toes guy stuff).

[@hybridresistance]

Awesome comment, thank you for sharing all of that. I’m really on the fence on picking up an echo bike

[@mrqualityreviewer4752]

I heard great things if you use the tractor seat

[@Agent_G_33]

yep. a thousand times more comfortable.@@mrqualityreviewer4752

[@stevenadler9174]

Terrific video! Thanks for the perspectives.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for watching Steven.

[@eladmitchell752]

i had the air bike and rower,great source of cardio,i would use them twice a week,but the air from the bike did cool me off when it was hot so i used it alot.the rower work the upper and lower body almost like a squat row burning fat,toning .great video mike 👍

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks Elad. Do you still have the rower / fan bike?

[@eladmitchell752]

@SlidingBenchTrainer no i gave them to a female friend,

[@LoupBleu69]

Which one works the quads more effectively, builds muscle, and is nicer for the knees?

[@hybridresistance]

I'd go towards the Rouge Bike but this video might have you rethink it kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHjYhZp_m6mIlc0si=Mf68JG6dFwun0p2F

[@ELDogStar]

I use my C2 more than any other 'cardio' device. The only one I used enough to be worth the cost.

[@hybridresistance]

Love to hear that.

[@SupermanPrime-vb2un]

Great Video. Thank you for that.

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for watching.

[@mrqualityreviewer4752]

I found rowing to be uncomfortable for long stretches. The ski erg is an amazing machine

[@hybridresistance]

I would love that machine, I just feel it would be a little overkill for the amount of work I'm already placing on my arms. Love to hear what you think though.

[@mrqualityreviewer4752]

@@hybridresistance It is more upper body dominant but with technique it’s a killer ab workout. I don’t have one personally but I have used it in a gym. It looks easy but will definitely smoke you quick. I find it more forgiving if your technique is off. If I fatigue on the rower my back is screaming from the poor form. Only negative will you will eventually have to change the ropes

[@damiendegrasse]

Rowing is next level fitness and mental strength.

[@marcusruiz2971]

These are solid options but I picked up a Bowflex Maxtrainer M3 for $50. It's like an elliptical, step machine and mini bike in one. Good stuff though.

[@hybridresistance]

That sounds like a solid deal!

[@marcusruiz2971]

@@hybridresistance indeed Sir. It has helped a lot after knee surgery.

[@808xcountry5]

Just got me a Raptor Air bike from Fring Sport, its like the Assault bike, love how it just kicks your butt in 5-10 min. But I been using also with low intensity Steady pace too. Do you have a TG & Air bike weekly workout to follow? Trying not to over do it, the Air bike already hits upper and lower body, so trying to find a routine.

[@hybridresistance]

Awesome brother I was eyeing those too at one point. I basically if I have time will do about ~10-15 steady state or shorter interval workouts I’d say 3-4x a week. Today was a good example I wanted to squeeze it in but once I hit 60 minutes in workout time I just called it a day.

[@jimperry4420]

Do you still have the versa-climber? I always thought it would be a great workout, but suck to actually use.

[@hybridresistance]

I actually had a clip of it, but edited it out for the sake of time. I honestly don't use it that much, but I do on occasion. With that said, I'm happy I went cheap on this thing, because a more expensive unit wouldn't have been worth it.

[@mrqualityreviewer4752]

I have the home model the workout is amazing. The only regret is I didn’t get the commercial model with resistance that workout is a whole other level

[@honestlee9921]

Great video I agree with everything you said. I love rowing. I use it for my cardio for boxing. But sometimes it's a bit hard to use over and over. Definitely takes a larger tole on your body. More room to be very explosive with the rower. I've bought myself an AD6 used for $200. I'm happy!

[@hybridresistance]

Thanks for sharing that.

[@risesir]

It’s likely your form is a reason for issues with consistency.

[@hybridresistance]

I personally don't think so. I don't think it's perfect, but I was diligent as could be alongside paying for the Dark Horse Rowing Cert when it was offered.

[@liljoe7171]

Bak in my gym days...I started [every] wrkout w/ 10/15 min warmup on a stepper....on my cardio day(s)(which was only 1 or 2, cuz I [hate] cardio)...it was always a stepper!! Shame those died off a bit....now, I hav a fan bike, that still only sees 2 days of use! Ha! Agree, rower is a bit much for cardio...haven't been on a spin-type bike....interesting, thnx!👍

[@hybridresistance]

The stairstepper is another awesome piece of equipment and a personal favorite of mine as well when I used to go to the gym. Just wish they were more affordable for the home gym

[@edsweeney6843]

Thanks for another great video. Have youever looked at one of the Easy Glider machines? Kind of a combination of rows and squats.

[@hybridresistance]

I think I know what you’re talking about but let me know of a particular brand of product name.

[@edsweeney6843]

@@hybridresistance I was looking at the Sunny Fitness model on Amazon.
