Cycle is a fashionable and relatively new direction in fitness, which allows you not only to exercise effectively, burning calories, but also enthralls you emotionally. True, this type of fitness is not suitable for everyone, since it has medical contraindications. In addition, cycling requires good physical fitness.
The essence of cycle training
The name "cycle" comes from the English word cycle, which means "bicycle". This type of fitness lives up to its name. Trainings take place on special exercise bikes, with incendiary music and in front of a large screen. It displays the terrain, which is "overcome". It can be a mountain landscape, seaside, picturesque hills. Such an entourage is created in order to distract from the severity of the load and allow you to feel the excitement.
Believe me, there is something to distract from: this workout implies a really harsh load. Cycle is considered extreme fitness because not everyone can do such workouts. That is why cycling is more suitable for those who have good health and already have a sufficiently trained body, but even for such people, training is completely exhausting.
However, cycle levels vary in difficulty, and you can start practicing even if you don't consider yourself a serious athlete. It is imperative to undergo fitness testing before training. In good clubs, where coaches are not indifferent to the health of the clients, this is a must. If you are not offered any testing, it is better to find another club, for your own good. If you have heart problems, knee injuries or a predisposition to certain leg diseases, it is better to refrain from cycling.
Cycle training has contraindications, including hypertension, high or low blood pressure, cardiovascular disease.
First cycle workout
When you come to training for the first time, do not strive to immediately take on the most difficult load, even if you are an experienced athlete or really want to lose weight. The wrong choice of load is a common mistake among those who wish to lose weight quickly. So that training is not harmful, accustom your body to the load gradually. To begin with, learn the correct breathing technique, as well as the position of the arms and legs when performing exercises that are done while sitting and standing. A fitness instructor will provide assistance if necessary.
How much do you need to train
Cycle training is recommended several times a week. The best option is three times a week. At this frequency, cycle training will be most beneficial and will give the maximum effect. Numerous reviews on the forums of women and girls who have already enjoyed this type of fitness confirm this once again.
Cycle training will bring visible results in 1, 5-2 months. Sike aerobics allows you to achieve ideal body contours faster than many other types of fitness.
To warm up the body before training, you can do cardio: for example, get on a treadmill and walk on it at a brisk pace for 10-15 minutes. Remember to do some stretching after your cycle.
