The SKE is not a Spin Bike
When you first observe the SKE, it may look similar to a bicycle. This resemblance is intentional, as it is designed to be a natural and comfortable tool for most people. However, the SKE is not a spin bike, and in this article we explain why it is a different tool that allows you a whole new type of workout.
The movement of the pedals
The SKE combines a bike for indoor use with an alternating leg press. The pedals move alternately from top to bottom on a circular trajectory that mimics traditional pedaling, but without the full rotation. This design maximizes muscle activation with each push, as each movement starts from a standing position.
The type of work
The key difference from the indoor variants of cycling is that in SKE, exercise intensity is not achieved through increased aerobic work, which can lead to profuse sweating, stress, and fatigue. Instead, SKE focuses on increasing the force effort required, followed immediately by a rest phase of usually 60 seconds.
This method, recommended by athletic trainers, physicians and the World Health Organization, generally takes less time than a regular spinning or indoor cycling session. SKE training is therefore more efficient and less stressful, allowing significant results to be achieved in less time.
Conclusion
In summary, while the SKE at first glance may look similar to a spin bike, it actually offers a significantly different and more effective workout experience. It is a versatile piece of equipment suitable for people of all fitness levels, allowing you to train more efficiently, safely, and motivatingly. If you are looking for an innovative way to improve your strength and endurance, the SKE may be the perfect solution for you!
