An exercise bike is the first piece that many people buy when stocking up on the best home gym equipment. It provides a heart-pumping cardio workout that burns calories — even while performing other tasks, like working from home, watching TV, playing video games, reading or even calling into a Zoom meeting. You can find an exercise bike to target your specific needs. For instance, if you have knee or back problems, a recumbent bike is a great option. Other bikes come with moving handles to tone your arms.
