I'm pretty satisfied with my minimalistic home gym setup (basically weighted calisthenics with a few gimmicks) but I could definitely use a very efficient cardio machine, even if it's gonna be more expensive than the rest of my setup altogether. I was thinking about getting an airbike, preferably second hand. Seems to be a tremendous stamina builder that's compatible with strength training and unlikely to cause injuries or interfere with chronical ones. Are they worth it?I live in a city, so while running is possible, I'm not a big fan due to air quality being so-so most of the year, I don't want to be a living air purifier.
>>77351824Just buy a rope.
>>77351827I have one and I used to box a little in my youth, I'm not a fan though. Highly localized fatigue + skill prerequisite + louder than a fucking airbike. I just want something as efficient and comfortable as possible. If I was broke, I'd just stick with burpees and mountain climbers and such.
>>77351827Harsh. Funny but harsh.
>>77351824Air bikes are great. They're a really good way to sprint and push your heart rate so you can vo2maxmaxx and live forever.
They're GOATed for indoor intervals, but not a machine you'd want to spend an hour on, or even 30 minutes. They're a bit niche. In combination with running it'd be great.

Great for high intensity and you can modify it a bit to go for longer cardio sessions. I hit 30 to 50 minutes on it 3 times a week. I recommend getting a good seat and a windshield that covers part of the fan for the longer cardio sessions to help with resistance.
these aren't a meme. buy this instead of a concept 2 rower.
>>77353620intense low cadence pedaling will grind your knees according to cyclist lore (as opposed to spinning)
>>77351824did someone say home gym thread?please don't bully
>>77353627>bro just dissed the concept 2Ngmi
nah u got it right. I basically just did assault/air bike, run, and jumprope as my main cardio and that worked gr8 for wrestling.
