Bowflex Treadmill vs. Spinning Bike

[Michellety]

I am a faithful 4:30 a.m. exerciser with Cathe and a stationary bike. I want to add one more twist to my mornings. I haven't tried either of these, but since they are a little more expensive than a dvd, I was hoping for some input from the die hards here! Thanks for your thoughts.

Have a great weekend!

I personally have both a treadmill and a spin bike. I use the treadmill more often, you can do more on it and I just like it better on most days. I am doing rehab for a recent hip operation and was told walking is the best exercise for this, so my treadmill gets a workout everyday!
I have to be in the right mood to hop on my bike though, it hurts your "parts" cause of the seat.
I would look into a different bike, they have one now that offers a video/tv with it, you race against the person in the video, the handle bars move and the seat is comfy! It is probably a little more expensive though, I wish I would have found this particular bike before I got my Spin bike!:-(

At the end of the day, ask yourself which one you will use the most.

I do not have a treadmill, but I do have the spin bike. It is very quiet and I use it 2 ways - with tapes and to cool down/warm up or while I am watching TV.

I have the spinning.com workouts and I love them. I also have a few spinervals. They are pretty hard and you have to modify them, but they are a nice break.

I have never been much for treadmill work because I like to walk outside.
