Studio Bike vs Treadmill – Breaking Down The Spinning vs Running Debate

March 9, 2019 By Nordictrack Coupon

Studio Bike

Here at NordicTrack Coupon, we provide coupons and promo codes for all NordicTrack equipment, so it’s tough for us to say whether a studio bike or a treadmill is a better investment, as both can help you reach your health and fitness goals. However, to assist you with reaching your specific goals, we’re going to break down the spinning vs. running debate so that you can be sure which machine is right for you.

Does Spinning Or Running Burn More Calories

One of the major factors people look at when investigating what exercise to be involved in is how many calories does the activity burn. While calorie burn can depend on a variety of factors, you can roughly estimate your potential calorie burn using an exercise calorie burn calculator.

For example, say you weigh 150 lbs, and you run on a treadmill for 30 minutes going 5 MPH. According to this calculator, you will burn 273 calories. Going for the same amount of time on a studio bike at 100 watts will only yield a calorie burn of 170 calories.

While this example may make it look like the studio bike is a poor choice for calorie burn, it is dependent on what you do. This example assumes that your pace will remain the same, and since using a stationary bike means you will be sitting, it is obvious that your burn will be lower. However, on the NordicTrack exercise bikes, you will be able to access iFit Coach, which comes with programs where you can burn over 1,000 calories in one session!

Also, if you do HIIT or utilize the incline function on your NordicTrack treadmill, you can also burn more calories. So, beyond calorie burn, there are other factors which can help you determine if spinning or running is better for you.

Joint Considerations When Spinning Or Running

When it comes to your joints, using a studio bike is a natural choice. The motion of spinning is low impact, and on NordicTrack bikes, you can fully adjust the seats and console to fit your body comfortably. So, whether you have joint issues or are recovering from an injury, using a spin bike is a good choice to help maintain your health and fitness. However, you don’t have to count all treadmills out.

NordicTrack treadmills, particularly the incline trainers, have high-end cushioning built into them. With this cushioning, you can enjoy running without the painful impact that running outside can bring.

Engage In Both Running And Spinning To Maximize Results

In reality, you don’t have to choose between running and spinning. Both serve a purpose when it comes to engaging your muscles and calorie burn, you would do better to alternate between spinning and running.

Whether you decide to choose a studio bike or a treadmill, as long as you make sure your machine is a NordicTrack, you will definitely be on the right track.

*Note: some items are being heavily discounted by NordicTrack right now, and a discount larger will be shown on the product page.
*Continuous Horsepower (“CHP”) is a term used in the treadmill industry for consumer comparison purposes. The CHP rating is measured in laboratory testing using a dynamometer, which measures the mechanical power of the motor. The CHP rating does not denote the operational horsepower of the treadmill in ordinary household use. In ordinary household use, the motor does not operate at the horsepower shown.
