Cycling Benefits

Low impact:

There is minimal impact on the hip, knee, and ankle joints. A person avoids the pounding associated with other activities such as running.


Muscular endurance:

When pedaling against resistance, 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.


Manage Stress:

Cycling class can provide the same adrenaline rush as runners high and release happy mood inducing neurotransmitters known as endorphins. Endorphins tend to create feelings of euphoria, low stress levels, and enhance the body’s immune response. 


Cardiovascular:

ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) recommends that healthy adults should get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. As with all continuous cardiovascular activity, an indoor cycling program can help lower the risk of coronary artery disease.

Getting Started

1. You don’t have to stay for the whole class

2. You set your own resistance and speed – and no one sees it but you!

3. Everyone pedals slow at first (and leaves early)

4. The seat is not your friend (until your 3rd of 4th class) – refer to #1

5. The seat is softer if you purchase a bike seat cover.

6. You don’t need special shoes - later you may want them!

7. Bring water a towel and a little courage

8. Your instructor may seem, but is not crazy and you’ll likely end up good friends!
