POV: we’re still in the middle of a worldwide quarantine and you’re still looking to get your gains in while at home.
You want a solid piece of cardio equipment that you’re going to be able to use everyday without having to spend thousands of dollars.
Below we have compiled a list of the best pieces of cardio equipment along with their respective prices so you don’t have to spend all day searching.
ROGUE ECHO BIKE ($775)
Perhaps the greatest benefit the bike has over running or rowing is its ability to increase your muscular endurance, or the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.
“With muscular endurance, you’re building up capillaries in the muscle, which help get more blood in and out as you exercise.
That’s mostly why muscular endurance exercises give you better endurance. The increased blood flow helps bring nutrients into the muscle to keep it going. It also helps bring waste out of the muscle to promote recovery.”

ROWING MACHINE ($900)
Although the rower is designed for cardio it also has the ability to complement your strength training as well.
“Rowing is by nature a strength movement, essentially a blend of a deadlift and a barbell row. That’s an ideal combination that everyone should do, hitting all the posterior-chain muscles that can easily get weakened by all the sitting that takes place in 2019 society.”

PELOTON BIKE ($2,245)
Obviously the Peloton bike is a pedal spin bike like any other, but where it separates itself from the others is that it allows you to be a part of a virtual spin community.
If you desire to work out with others then the Peloton may be a good option for you, however it does cost about 3x more than the Rogue Echo Bike and you also have to pay a recurring $39 per month for your online class membership.

AIR RUNNER TREADMILL ($3,700)
These new types of treadmills called Air Runners are popping up at gyms all over the world due to their quiet nature, harder workout, and sleek design.
The bean shape design of the Air Runner enables the platform to begin moving as soon as you step on it and then you control the speed with your pace. The faster you run the faster the belt will move.
These treadmills will likely replace all old-school treadmill styles in the next couple of years and they are a great option for you if you love to run, they are however almost $4,000 out the door with taxes and shipping.
