Your goals will determine the type of indoor cycling exercise you choose. For example, some people want to do indoor cycling because it is efficient and will help them stay in shape. For those who don’t have a specific goal, then a mix of intervals, hills, and tempos will help them get the most out of their workout.
It’s a good idea to vary your workout, from longer and slower workouts to shorter, higher-intensity workouts that also have different intervals and resistance levels. You can participate in a mix of exercises by joining a gym that offers instructor-led classes.
Cycling Tempo
Tempo cycling exercises involve a consistent pace for a period of time. To motivate cyclists and help them keep the tempo, music is usually played. The purpose of tempo cycling is to increase heart rate and stamina.
This exercise is ideal for beginners as it is an exercise that is easy to follow, yet challenging enough to help improve one’s fitness level. The difference between novice cyclists and more advanced cyclists is how long they can last.
Cycling on the Hill
The main goal of hill biking training is to increase leg strength by increasing resistance as often as possible by adjusting the flywheel. This is a great way for cyclists to prepare for a race that has a lot of hills. The workout begins with a warm-up cycling at a moderate pace. Then the resistance is increased periodically for 30 seconds to several minutes. Between the harder intervals are less challenging periods with lower resistance but faster pace.
Cycling Interval
Interval training is another of the most common indoor cycling exercises. It is similar to hill biking, the only difference is that the speed is different from the resistance. The intervals are between 30 seconds and three minutes like cycling on a hill. Playing music will help cyclists, as faster beats will help them pedal faster. The results of this kind of training include increased speed and race time.
