Reasons to Ride Inside

As you prepare for your ride, you have that nagging question of ‘is it worth my time’ Will it rain, be windy or at this time of year even snow? Stopping at traffic lights just when you get up to speed, uneven road surfaces making you swerve into traffic dodging potholes and motorists not paying attention to you on your bike. In an increasingly busy world am I going to get the most exercise bang for my buck?

Cycling at the Studio takes away all those variables enabling you to completely focus on your workout.   You relax and enjoy the experience while seriously improving your fitness.

You don’t have to be a cycling pro or fitness expert to cycle and if you come to classes at the Studio you don’t even need the lycra, a helmet or cycle shoes… you don’t even need to own a bike!

In this edition of the Studio blog we take you through the many benefits of Indoor Cycling and put the spotlight on two of our signature Cycle classes.

The Benefits of Indoor Cycling

Indoor cycling is a low impact cardio workout that reduces wear and tear on your bones and joints. There are few exercises that can claim they benefit your cardio and strength simultaneously.  You can exercise longer at less physical cost to build up your endurance, fitness and strength with ease.  Some of the key benefits you’ll experience are;

Lower stress levels – During each class you release endorphins that create happy moods, lower your stress, and enhance immune response.

Improved muscular endurance – Peddling against resistance increases the endurance of your leg and heart muscles.  Improved endurance will also help strengthen the bones, tendons, and ligaments that result in improved joint stability.

High kcal burn – You can burn on average 400 – 600 kcals during one 45-50 minute class!!

Go at your own pace – Although your class will have an instructor helping you get the best workout, you work at a pace that matches your fitness level and slowly build and improve at a speed you are comfortable with.

Reduce health risks – Adding indoor cycling to your weekly cardio is a great way to reduce the health risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Cycle & Core

Only at The Studio will you find the unique offering of Cycle and Core classes. These hour of power classes have been specifically designed to improve cardiovascular fitness as well as develop your strength endurance, a critical and often overlooked component of fitness and training.
