Here\u2019s the beginner’s guide to indoor cycling post

You know those mornings when you can\u2019t find your motivation to work out?<\/p>\n

You check behind the door, maybe take a look in last night\u2019s pizza box, or in the glovebox where you keep your stash of snacks\u2026 but no motivation anywhere.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sinking feeling.<\/p>\n

The good news is that you can geolocate that motivation and then supercharge it with an indoor cycling workout.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re new to working out or a seasoned road cyclist, an indoor cycling workout can push you to new limits and help you build endurance in a low-impact way.<\/p>\n

What Is Indoor Cycling?<\/h2>\n

\"Beginner's<\/p>\n

Simply put, indoor cycling can involve hooking your bike to a stationary trainer in your living room, riding a stationary bike at the gym, doing a cycling class at a studio, or joining a virtual class at home \u2014 on your trainer or an exercise bike.<\/p>\n

The one thing you can expect regardless of the method is buckets of sweat and the fitness that comes with practically any cycling workout.<\/p>\n

You can also expect positive physiological changes.<\/p>\n

One metastudy<\/a>\u00a0of 300 research papers concluded that indoor cycling may improve aerobic capacity, body composition, and cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n

How Is It Different From Riding Outside?<\/h2>\n

\"Woman<\/a><\/p>\n

According to former pro cyclist\u00a0Peter Stetina<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019d say the biggest benefit is quality over quantity. There\u2019s never any stopping at lights or coasting through corners, you pedal literally the entire time.\u201d<\/p>\n

That makes indoor cycling perfect for midday or before-work workouts.<\/p>\n

Its benefits include a safe and convenient workout that can efficiently hit your fitness goals no matter how crazy your schedule.<\/p>\n

Stetina points to the scheduling benefit of indoor cycling \u201cif your work demands that you exercise after daylight hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Is that motivation we hear tapping on the door?)<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s more \u2014 retired pro cyclist and 10-time U.S. national champion\u00a0Rahsaan Bahati<\/a>\u00a0sums up the key benefit: safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cRiding indoors allows you to build up the strength and personal knowledge of what your skillset can handle before setting up outside in the real world,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

If that\u2019s not enough, Bahati throws this cherry on top: \u201cIndoor cycling allows you to save time, yet get the training and exercise you desire in the comfort of your own dwelling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other differences between riding indoors versus on the road? It eliminates the hazards and discomforts of bad weather.<\/p>\n

Cycling indoors has lots of options to help you get fit.<\/p>\n

First, decide whether you want to train at home, in a gym, solo, or with a group. Each has pluses and minuses, so find out what works for you.<\/p>\n

Some find home calming, whereas more extroverted people may prefer the gym or a cycling studio.<\/p>\n

Sign up for a trial period at a gym or borrow a friend\u2019s indoor trainer before committing.<\/p>\n

What Can You Expect From an Indoor Cycling Class?<\/h2>\n

\"Indoor<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIndoor cycling classes will provide you with coaching, camaraderie, some competition, and fun,\u201d says Los Angeles-based personal trainer, Ironman competitor, and former competitive figure skater Kristie Fox. \u201cAnd a whole lot of burn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Online group cycling via an app or streaming service can provide an even bigger dose of motivation, whereas solo training may appeal to the \u201cmy pace\u201d types.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, says Fox, \u201cthe key is consistency. Start small, build slowly. If you\u2019re doing two-hour sessions from the gun, you\u2019re likely overdoing it. Make it a journey, not a target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can you do it daily?<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d says Fox, \u201cbut always listen to your body. Injuries, work, exhaustion, and stress can always justify taking time off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next, Fox suggests building a realistic plan that fits your schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndoor cycling lets you mold the activity to your calendar, something you can\u2019t do with surfing, say, or ice skating. Is your golden time 5 A.M.? 10 P.M.? Let your schedule be your guide,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Many people turn to indoor for weight loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be a powerful tool, but the cornerstone for all weight loss is nutrition,\u201d says Fox. \u201cIndoor cycling burns calories, no question.\u201d<\/p>\n

When you discover the workout flexibility and fitness that come with a few weeks of cycling indoors, you won\u2019t be searching for your long-lost motivation anymore.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be searching for your cycling shorts.<\/p>\n
