Since Ernest Michaux invented the bicycle in the 1860`s people all over the world have been enjoying the impact free exercise of pedaling. In the last 30 years indoor cycling has become one of the most popular and efficient methods of exercise and calorie burning. The reasons for their popularity are not only do they give you a great workout but because of their small footprint and the fact that they are easily movable no one has the excuse for not having an exercise bike in their house or flat.
Make sure that your bike is set up correctly and that you are comfortable. An easy way to check this is to place your heel on the pedal and your leg must be straight when the pedal is at its lowest position, this will ensure maximum comfort and efficiency when pedaling.
For people who are new to an exercise program, start off slowly on your bike and adjust the resistance to a low or medium resistance setting and cycle for just 15 minutes, as you get fitter you will want to increase the resistance in small increments and also the length of your workouts.
Today’s exercise bikes come with an array of programs including hill climbs, sprints and interval training as well as programs that can be custom tailored to your specific goals. More athletic users may want to take advantage of some of the advanced programs such as “Heart Rate Interval“ or design their own program to suit their needs.
Many keen road cyclists train on indoor spinning bikes when the weather is bad to maintain their fitness.
Recumbent bikes are a great way to get your daily workout in a very comfortable armchair-like position and because your legs are elevated doctors recommend them for people with high blood pressure and blood circulation problems.
Exercise bikes available at Totally Fitness are well engineered and because of the magnetic resistance almost noiseless.
Whether your goals are to get fitter, lose weight or just want to feel more invigorated and healthy, an exercise bike might just be the low impact cardio equipment you are looking for.
