If you’re new to exercise a stationary cycle workout is perfect. You simply jump on a bike and pedal. Your instructor will lead you through all the basic cycling stances. You control your personal pace and resistance levels and you can build the intensity to suit your ability. Beginners love cycle workouts because they are low impact, enjoyable and very effective, and research suggests cycling is the type of training newcomers are highly likely to stick with.
You will see awesome results with 2-3 cycle workouts a week. Workouts such as RPM™ and THE TRIP™ are based on the science of cardio peak training, which maintains your heart rate at an aerobic training base with interspersed peaks of intensity. It is great to do these workouts regularly. High-intensity interval cycling, such as LES MILLS SPRINT™, spikes your heart rate into maximum training zone. Research shows that for optimal fitness gains and fat burn this type of training should be done no more than twice a week.
Stationary cycling is great low impact way to improve cardio fitness, reduce body fat, and decrease blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It’s also one of the best ways to beat stress, depression and poor mental health. Plus, people who cycle are shown to have reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Indoor cycling can drive serious calorie burn, improve lower body strength and build toned and shapely legs. Studies show it can also cut inches from your waistline. Choose a HIIT cycle workout, such as LES MILLS SPRINT, and you will boost metabolic fitness, build lean muscle and train your body to burn fat for hours after your workout.
