What is indoor cycling and why do you need a fitness center cycling stage?
Indoor cycling is experiencing huge growth on a global scale. Boutique studios, group display systems, the addition of performance measurement and the adoption of ‘training with power’ in the studio environment are fueling this dynamic market growth. Indoor cyclists can still have a great group cycling experience but can now define, track and measure their own individual goals as well.
Ready to give indoor cycling a spin? Prepare to drip with sweat, get your blood pumping, and want to come back for more. Indoor cycling classes help you shed fat, improve your heart health, and boost your muscle endurance. Your legs will get a serious workout. By the end of class, you’ll have a steady stream of feel-good brain chemicals called endorphins.
An instructor will lead the class typically on a “fitness center cycling stage” and lead the class through different types of cycling, like uphill climbs, bursts of speed, and short recovery periods with easy pedaling. Sometimes you’ll get off the saddle and pedal in a standing position. There’s a bike for each person in the class. They usually face the same direction, either toward the instructor or a mirror. The instructor chooses music to go along with each phase of the class. .
Indoor cycling is intense. Your heart rate will soar and stay elevated for 45-60 minutes. There will be brief moments of slower pedaling, but most of the class will be steady work.
The wall ball exercise offers a huge variety of benefits and works just about every muscle group in your body. It also allows you to move your body in every plane of motion — front to back, side to side, and in rotation. A typical wall ball exercise recruits multiple muscles groups, including your:
- quadriceps
- glutes
- hamstrings
- back
- chest
- shoulders
- biceps
- triceps
- core muscles
The wall ball squat exercise increases your heart rate, making it a great way to improve your cardiorespiratory fitness and burn calories, too. It also helps to increase your explosive power, which is a necessary component of many athletic activities. Plus, performing wall ball exercises can fine-tune your hand-eye coordination and improve your throwing skills and accuracy.
