Assault Airbike - is it worth it?

[Wayne Potgieter]

Hi - 

 

I am looking for a little advice.

 

Has anyone had any experience with an Assault Airbike? The sort of Airbike you see at Crossfit games?

 

I am looking for something to do in the rainy months at home that burns heaps of calories and does not cost the world. Have looked at spinning bikes, but I like the idea of involving the upper body in the workout as well.

 

Thanks

Hell yeah.

 

Its a wickedly effective machine i.t.o time spent vs devastation.

They are great! You will certainly burn heaps of calories if you stick to using it.  I mostly use the ones at the gym for a warm up or a post workout burnout, but they can definitely be used as the main workout.  Fairly simple interface which allows for interval tracking etc. but that's all you really need.
