Exercise Bikes



Why use a bike?   

To improve your cardio fitness and tone your lower body, an exercise bike is the simplest and most user friendly of exercise machines. The non-impact seated position minimises the load on your hip, knee and ankle joints.

Does a bike exercise my whole body?

It works the muscles in your lower body and your heart and lungs. If you are trying to burn fat, it will go from all over your body.

How do the programs work?

Just like walking and running outdoors, going up hills varies the exercise intensity and the muscles that you use.

Do I have to spend hours on the bike?

No, you can improve your fitness starting with just 10 minutes a day.

I lack motivation. What can I do when riding the bike?

You can read, watch TV, or ride to the beat of motivational music.



What is cardiovascular fitness?

It is the most important component of physical fitness. It includes the efficient operation of both the heart and lungs ‘the more active you are, the more invigorated you will feel’. In addition to exercise increasing your energy levels, exercising also reduces your chances of developing cardiovascular disease.

Frequency of exercise

You should try to exercise as often as possible but at least 3 times a week.

Duration of exercise

Try to do at least 20 minutes or more. Of course, the longer you go, the more calories and fat you’ll ‘burn’.

Warming and stretching

Essential for preparing your body for exercise. Start at a low intensity to allow your muscles to warm up and your heart to gradually increase. After exercise, always make sure you stretch the muscles you have been exercising.

Stay fit and healthy

A healthy balanced diet is essential for good health and keeping fit. Fruit and vegetables are
important components of a healthy diet and their sufficient daily consumption could help prevent
major diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases.
