What is cycling in fitness?
A completely new concept in fitness is cycle aerobics (or cycle training). Those who regularly visit gyms have likely seen people pedaling for an hour without even thinking about lifting weights or doing anything else at the gym. This branch of training was invented by the American cyclist Johnny Goldberg, and his technique began to quickly spread throughout the world, finding more and more like-minded people.
The essence of cycling aerobics is to actively pedal rhythmically for 30-40 minutes, changing the load levels of the exercise bike. It is best if you attend such classes in the gym and perform all the exercises under the guidance of an experienced trainer. There is a team spirit there and even the most difficult moments will be perceived easier. For home exercises, you can find videos on the Internet where they will explain to you how to perform each level of training correctly.
Each lesson is conducted in two positions: sitting and standing. By alternating them, almost all the muscles of the body are involved. The ride is not like just riding a bike because during the class you simulate riding a racing bike so that your back leans towards the machine. After the first workouts, you will notice some tension in the lower back, but after a couple of sessions this will pass.
Cycle aerobics is considered one of the most energetic of all fitness classes, so you will have to work up a fair amount of sweat. The result will exceed all your expectations, your health will definitely improve, and your body will become fit and slender. The load during training is changed using:
- pedaling speed;
- resistance level;
- your body position.
