Benefits of Indoor Cycling

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.
