Benefits of Using an Exercise Bike

There are many benefits of using an exercise bike – we’ve selected 5 of the most important benefits to share with you.

1. Improve Cardio Vascular Fitness – because you are moving your body and increasing your heart rate, cycling is a great way to improve your cardio vascular fitness. In other words – it helps to keep your heart healthy. According to the NHS, adults should aim to do 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity activity, or 75 mins of vigorous activity. Using an exercise bike and contribute towards this goal.
2. Tone Muscles in the Lower body – cycling uses large muscle groups in the legs – quads, hamstrings and calf muscles. Upping the resistance will increase the intensity of the workout and tone the muscles. If you focus on maintaining your posture and keep your core engaged these muscles will be working hard too.
3. Burn calories – you can burn calories most effectively when you increase your heart rate by exercising vigorously. When coupled with a healthy diet, using an exercise bike can contribute to weight loss or maintenance and a healthy life style.
4. Low Impact  – When you’re using an exercise bike, the majority of your weigh is support on the seat. This means that, unlike running, the joints in your legs are not bearing the brunt of the exercise. Because cycling is so low impact it is often recommended as post-op rehabilitation for some patients.

Remember to drink lots of water. Aim for about 8-10 cups a day, as this will help your metabolism and can help to curb your appetite. It also makes you feel better and less bloated.

Reduce the amount of carbohydrate, but don’t cut back completely – cutting back on carbohydrates can force your body to use protein for food instead of using it to build your fat burning muscles.

By regular exercise, and following a few simple tips, you should be back to normal in no time at all, ready for christmas!
