The exercise bike provides an excellent kind of cardio-training activity. Training on this equipment is designed to increase your cardio-vascular
capacity. On this principle, you improve your physical condition, your endurance and you burn calories (an indispensable activity for weight
loss in association with dieting).
Finally, the exercise bike allows you to tone the muscles in the legs and buttocks.
The muscles in the calves and the lower abdominals are also worked.
PARTS OF THE BODY WORKED
Weight Maintenance/Warm-up:
progressive effort starting at 10
minutes.
For a workout designed either to keep you
in shape or for re-education purposes, you
may train every day for around ten minutes.
This type of exercise is designed to stimulate
your muscles and joints or may be used as a
warm-up to additional physical activity.
To increase the muscle tone of the legs, select
a higher resistance and lengthen the exercise
period.
Of course, you may vary the pedalling resis-
tance throughout your exercise session.
Aerobic fitness workout: moderate
effort for a fairly long period (35
min to 1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exer-
cise, combined with a diet, is the only way
to increase the quantity of energy consumed
by the organism. Nevertheless, it is pointless
to push yourself beyond your limits. It is the
regularity of training that will allow you to
obtain the best results.
Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance and
exercise at your own rhythm, but at least for
a period of 30 minutes. This exercise should
raise a slight sweat but should under no
circumstances leave you breathless. It’s the
duration of the exercise, at a slow rhythm,
that will require your organism to draw its
energy from your fat reserves provided that
you pedal for more than thirty minutes, a
minimum of three times a week.
Aerobic training for endurance: sus-
tained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training targets significant rein-
forcement of the cardiac muscle and impro-
ved respiratory activity.
The resistance and/or speed of pedalling is
increased so as to increase respiration during
the exercise. The effort here is more sustained
than for the maintenance workout.
As your training progresses, you will be able
to sustain the effort for longer periods, at a
faster rate or with a higher degree of resis-
tance. You may train a minimum of three
times a week for this type of training.
Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workout
and workout in the red zone) is reserved for
athletes and requires adequate preparation.
After each training session, take several
minutes to pedal with diminishing speed and
resistance in order to cool down and pro-
gressively bring the body to a state of rest.
When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks as
needed. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions.
