Question 1

Do under desk bikes work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they work. Under-desk bikes help users to burn calories, stay fit, and improve blood circulation. Apart from these physical health benefits, under-desk bikes also help you stay focused and alert while working long hours at the desk.

Question 2

What is the difference between under-desk bikes and under-desk ellipticals?

Accepted Answer

Under-desk bikes and under-desk ellipticals are similar machines used primarily for exercising the legs. They are both ideally placed under a desk for use. However, they differ in the way they exercise the leg. Under-desk bikes involve an up and down circular motion of the legs like bicycles. On the other hand, under-desk ellipticals involve a forward and backward movement of the legs.

Question 3

Can I use under-desk bikes for my arms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, under-desk bikes can be used for the arms too. All you need to do is to remove the bike from under the desk and place it on a table or higher platform. Next, you place your hands on the pedal and make circular motions as you will with your legs. This is an advantage that under-desk bikes have over ellipticals.

Question 4

Can I lose weight with under-desk bikes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, under-desk bikes can help you lose weight. On average, you burn more than 100 calories per day when using under-desk bikes (without breaking a sweat). With a little more effort, you can burn as much as 600 calories weekly.
