Reasons for Indoor Cycling!
Cardiovascular Health
Indoor cycling is primarily an anaerobic exercise, pulling energy from your reserves and building up your muscular endurance over an extended period of time. However, there are also aerobic benefits of indoor cycling. Planned indoor cycling programs include both endurance and cardiovascular training during the workout.
At several points you may be required to break your steady pace and speed up to increase your heart rate.
Heart health is an obvious benefit, as is lung capacity. As you work harder during your indoor cycling workout you will learn to work on controlled breathing, as well. This may help you with anxiety and help lower your heart rate when you get into a situation where physical exertion begins to take your breath away.
Progress at Your Own Pace
Whether following a live instructor or video, the amount of resistance you apply, as you gain strength and endurance is up to you. Each indoor cycling bike has a resistance control knob within easy reach of the handle bars. It works something like switching gears.
While instructors recommend an RPM, as you work toward increasing your RPM and maintaining a steady pace you can't fall behind the rest of the class. You don't feel out of place for not knowing an aerobic or step routine. No one really knows what level at which you are working, so you are free to progress at your own pace
Shapely Legs
It will not take long for your efforts on a indoor cycling bike to show up as weight loss, but there is another great benefit to indoor cycling. Indoor cycling uses large muscle groups in your legs. It does not take long before your thighs, hamstrings, and calves begin to take shape. Three indoor cycling workouts a week will make a difference in the shapely appearance of your leg
