Exercise Bikes
Exercise bikes are the most affordable method of exercise in comparison to cross trainers and treadmills. They’re a popular home fitness item, allowing a great cardiovascular work out with low-impact on the joints which is the reason they’re also often used in physiotherapy.
Most bikes have variable tension settings so can be used by people at any fitness level.
They’re also perfect for the winter months where doing exercise outdoors is often less desirable!

Cross Trainers
Cross trainers use a wider variety of muscles than an exercise bike whilst still acting as a great cardiovascular work out. They are also known as elliptical trainers due to the motion of the foot platforms.
Aswell as using your legs in a walking/running motion, your arms are also tested by moving at the same time.
They are said to provide a similar work out as a treadmill but are advantageous in the fact they have a low-impact on your joints. Many come with extra features to measure your performance or set targets including distance travelled, pulse rate and speed.

Treadmills
Treadmills are also very popular, allowing you to walk, jog or run on the spot without exercising outdoors.
Unlike exercise bikes and cross trainers, treadmills do put a bit more pressure on your joints but as you can gage the speed at which to work out at, you can always use them at a setting which is appropriate for you.
Treadmills allow you to precisely increment the pace or the conveyer belt, giving you total control over your work out. This is also useful for setting a pace and keeping up with it. Similar to exercise bikes and cross trainers, they often come with plenty of monitoring features to measure your performance or again, set targets. Fold away treadmills make them easy to store and is great practical feature
