Super Bike Fitness

Biking is super cool and weather at the fitness center or at the park, cycling has super cool benefits to strengthen the body.

Improves strength and flexibility

Like other aerobic exercises, cycling can build up your muscular strength and endurance. According to Dr. Kubiak, research has shown that indoor cycling helps build muscle in various parts of your lower body.

“Your hamstrings are being activated at about 18%, your quadriceps at 19% and the glutes are at 12 to 17%,” explains Dr. Kubiak.

Cycling helps with loosening your quads, hamstrings, calves and hips. This way, your lower body is becoming more flexible over time. Plus, your core and arm muscles get a good workout.

Helps with coordination and balance

Cycling can also improve balance. As you have to be in a specific position while riding an indoor or outdoor bike, it helps train your body to keep a better posture. If you’re wanting to improve your coordination, cycling can help stabilize your core.

“If you think about it, when you’re on the bike, you have to find that center of balance to stay upright,” says Dr. Kubiak.

Allows for a multipurpose workout

Another benefit of indoor cycling is how easily you can incorporate other workouts into your cycling session adventure.
