Indoor cycling is a low-impact
activity. People recovering from orthopedic injuries often participate in
indoor cycling as part of the rehabilitation protocol. If cycling is done
correctly, there is minimal impact on the hip, knee, and ankle joints. A
person, whether recovering from injury or not, avoids the pounding associated
with other activities such as running.
Muscular endurance refers to the
ability of a muscle to continually and repeatedly exert force over an extended
period of time. When you are pedaling against resistance in indoor cycling you
increase the endurance of the muscles in the legs to include the quadriceps,
hamstrings, gluteus, and the calf muscles. Working these muscles also helps to
strengthen surrounding bones, tendons, and ligaments increasing overall
strength so that activities of daily living can be performed with ease.
Indoor cycling is an organized
activity with a group fitness format. StudioBookings’s
Indoor cycling studio
software and Classes focus on endurance, strength, interval, and high
intensity training using the stationary bike. The indoor cycle that evolved
from the stationary bike is designed with a heavy weighted flywheel, chain
drive, and friction resistance offering an experience similar to that of a road
bike.
Indoor cycling is easily one of
the most popular workouts worldwide. It is enjoyed by millions of people from
all walks of life, and experienced in a wide variety of fitness environments.
The popularity of indoor cycling is largely owed to the excellent health
benefits of the activity and the satisfying emotional experience of the
workout.
Indoor cycling provides a variety
of psychological benefits. The
Indoor cycling studio software
is made possible for highly trained instructors who know how to motivate riders
with positive feedback, challenges and motivating music. The indoor cycling
experience can be a very rewarding experience psychologically; riders must meet
their own individual exercise goals, increasing pedal resistance along the way.
After an exercise session, your
brain releases endorphins, which provide a feeling of well-being that is
conducive to maintaining overall happiness. Indoor cycling is a great way to
manage stress and depression. Your body produces more mitochondria over
sustained periods of exercise, which helps you produce more energy for
day-to-day tasks. This can help you cope with fatigue and enjoy better levels
of energy during the day.
Besides the convenience of indoor
cycling, many cycling enthusiasts prefer the flexible nature of the indoor
stationary bike. You don’t have to worry about weather conditions or heavy
traffic. Depending on your bike route, exercising outdoors can be
counter-productive if you are exposed to high levels of air pollution, so being
able to bike indoors with clean air is a big plus. Indoor cycling is a highly
rewarding workout that offers many physical and psychological benefits to its
enthusiasts. But don’t just take our word for it. Kick your health into high
