A book on the handlebar. The window wide open on a view that you know but that you can rediscover in many ways, every day different. The rhythm and the music you choose. The clothing you want. The shower is just a few meters away.
Is this not freedom ?
The well-being that the constantly practiced bike gives is also something that affects the planet; think of the gas you save when you don't go to the gym.
But be careful, there are tricks that must be respected.
The exercise bike at home: precautions before mounting in the saddle
For example, heating is always necessary to keep muscle strains away. If you do it in the saddle, keep a slow and steady ride. Stretching after stretching is also necessary for muscle stretching.
It is not bad to train at least 3 times a week, with a gradual increase in the duration of practice. Obviously the work must be differentiated according to personal needs.
Always try to prepare the work adequately for the effort, preferring alternate work (medium-slow pedaling and standing recovery).
Never start with a heavy and tiring ride and do not leave the resistance completely when you are "enjoying the descent". The heart rate monitor allows you to understand if you are straining your heart.
Realryder indoor cycling: indoor cycling training
Reversing prejudices about home training
Drawbacks of indoor training? There are, but we might as well know them to avoid them, like the best enemies. We list them, suggesting some ways to work around them, transform them and use them in your favor, having the bike for ally.
Personal trainer missing. As for the latest models of exercise bikes it almost seems that the personal trainer is integrated. Really. So many training programs and resistance levels, optional cardio bands, cyclocameras that offer specific programs
Do not leave the house, risk of isolation. Of course, those who have done spinning or indoor cycling lessons know as well as the group account factor, as is the occasion for exchanges, invitations and meetings. Certainly true. Yet there is also a modality that inhabits man and goes beyond. A modality that should be supported and not denied only to prove that they are "social animals" at all costs. It is the dimension of motor intimacy; an active form of silent discovery of one's psychophysical potential . After the practice, nothing will prevent you from joining the group (with a level of serotonin favorable to harmony).
The fridge is always close at hand. True. This will further temper your tenacity, the ability to stay centered and eat in order to feed, have energy and enjoy when the body requires it.
That each ride is an opportunity for further discovery.
