• STRENGTHEN AND TONE

Cycling will strengthen and tone your leg muscles. The primary muscles worked on a gym bike are the quadriceps (front of the thighs), glutes (bottom), hamstrings (back of the thighs), calves (back of the leg below then knee) and hip flexors (bottom of the stomach).

• WEIGHT LOSS

Cycling is a very effective form of exercise for weight loss. The number of calories burned will depend on your age, gender and so on but as a guide a young man can burn around 500 calories cycling for 30 minutes at around 17mph. Once you’ve finished your cycle your body continues working to repair the muscles used during your workout. This burns calories even once you’ve finished exercising.

• CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS

Cycling is an effective and simple form of cardiovascular exercise. Cardio training on a static bike can help you prepare for marathons or just help you deal better with daily demands. A healthy cardiovascular system increases the supply of oxygen to your blood and the supply of energy to your body. It helps reduce your risk of stroke and disease and can lower blood pressure.

• IMPROVE YOUR SPORT

A static bike can be more than a piece of home gym equipment. It can allow for specific training focused on the discipline of road cycling. The controlled environment that an exercise bike produces can help improve and track your cycling fitness as well as improve your technique. An Exercise bike will let you work on the elements you need to improve on, whatever the weather!

• LOW IMPACT EXERCISE

The low impact nature of static gym bikes make them a good option if you want to lessen any risk of injury or strain. Their smooth motion and low impact action combine to make a workout that is easy on your muscles and joints. As long as your gym bike is properly set up, the pressure is taken off of knees and ankles making it a popular alternative to higher impact activities such as running.

• CONVENIENT AND COST EFFECTIVE

A static exercise bike is compact and doesn’t take up much space. They also let you make maximum use of your time: you can watch TV, read a book or listen to music as you workout. Cheaper than paying gym fees, all of our cardio bikes come with fantastic warranties that ensure you get years of exercise out of them.
