Sketra Spin bikes are generally low-impact, which makes them suitable for people with joint issues. However, you should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen, especially if you have specific injuries or conditions.

For general fitness, aim for at least 3-4 sessions per week, with each session lasting between 30-60 minutes. For specific goals like weight loss or increased endurance, you might need to adjust the frequency and intensity of your workouts.

To set up a spin bike, adjust the seat so your knee is slightly bent with the pedal at the bottom. Position the seat so your knee is over the pedal axle when the pedal is at 3 o’clock. Set the handlebars to a height that keeps your back straight, and make sure your feet are securely fastened in the pedal straps or clips.

A spin bike is gentler on the joints, making it ideal for those with knee or hip issues, and reduces the risk of injury compared to running. It provides a great cardiovascular workout while targeting the lower body, and its adjustable resistance offers versatile training options. Spin bikes are quieter, take up less space, and are easier to maintain than treadmills. They also burn similar calories and are often more comfortable for longer workouts.

Both can burn significant calories depending on the intensity of your workout, but spin bikes can offer a more sustained calorie burn during extended sessions.
