Is a $100 bike from Walmart not sufficient to elevate your heart rate? Does riding it somehow not burn the "right" kind of calories?

Cheap Walmart bikes can be fine for fitness. The problem with them is the components are fragile and they tend to break quickly when used for intense training. A broken bike sitting in your garage isn't going to get your heart rate up.
