Recently I have discovered a new challenge. I had never heard of it before, but because of a promotion I had the chance to experience it and it was amazing! It felt like dying a little bit, but afterwards I felt more alive than ever. It clears your mind like every sport but it’s also very relaxing! Indoor cycling is fun, because you ride your bicycle on the rhythm of music. You do it in group with a trainer who guides you through the entire work-out.
You begin by arranging your bicycle at your individual needs. The bikes are adjustable to your height, the length of your arms and legs so you can exercise in a healthy manner. The training program begins slowly to warm up your muscles guided by gentle music. After the warming up, the music starts to accelerate to take the work-out to a higher level. The resistance of the bicycles are also adjustable and are forced up all the time. But when you think you can’t go any further you can stop adjusting it or even go back to an easier level. This is the most advantageous thing about indoor cycling, it is totally adjustable to your own level and condition!
And when you are about to die of exhaustion it gets worse! The trainer says you have to stand up while riding your bicycle to train your stomach muscles. And then you have to sit down, get up, sit down, get up, … Indoor cycling is also very varied for example after every hard exercise, an easier one follows. After spending an hour on your bicycle the stretching part begins. It’s very important you stretch after a heavy exercise so your muscles don’t turn sour. I had a great time with this exercise, it’s all about going beyond your own limits.
