If you are just starting out, begin by exercising for several days at a low resistance and speed, without forcing it, taking breaks if necessary.
Gradually increase the number or duration of the sessions.
Maintenance/Warm-up: Gradual effort
starting with 10 minutes.
For maintenance work to keep yourself in shape or
get back into shape, you can train every day for
about ten minutes.
This type of exercise will wake up your muscles
and joints, or it can be used as a warm-up before
another type of physical activity.
To increase muscle tone in the legs, choose a
greater resistance and increase the duration of the
exercise.
Obviously, you can vary the pedalling resistance
over the course of your workout.
Aerobic exercise for getting into shape:
Moderate effort for a relatively long time
(35 minutes to 1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exercise,
combined with a diet, is the only way to increase
the amount of energy your body consumes. To
do so, there is no need to push yourself beyond
these limits. Training on a regular basis is what
will produce the best results.
Choose a relatively low pedalling resistance and
do the exercise at your own pace, but for at least
30 minutes.
This exercise should cause you to build up a mild
sweat, but it certainly should not leave you out of
breath.
It is the duration of the exercise at a slow pace
that will cause your body to dip into your fat
reserves to get its energy, as long as you pedal
for more than about thirty minutes at least three
times a week.
Aerobic training for endurance: Sustained
effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training aims to strengthen the heart
muscles significantly and improve respiration.
Pedalling resistance and/or speed is increased
in order to increase breathing speed during the
workout session.
This type of exercise is more sustained than when
you are working out to get into shape.
Little by little, as you train, you will be able to
work out for longer, at a faster pace or with a
higher resistance.
You can do this type of workout at least three
times a week.
After each workout, set aside several minutes to
pedal at a lower speed and resistance, to slow
down and gradually relax your body.
