Why indoor cycling is the ultimate workout

Indoor cycling is the ultimate workout, all year long! If you are looking fora workout that provides consistency, longevity and reliability, then indoor cycling might just be the perfect option for you! CycleBar Crows Nest GM, Ellie Scott explains “every ride is a chance to push yourself to new limits! The community spirit creates an unmatched energy that makes members go that extra mile.” Here are some reasons why it’s the ultimate workout all year long:

Perfect in every season

Indoor cycle or ‘spin’ class is the perfect year-round workout as it is not weather dependant and can suit both summer and winter environments. If you want to escape the cool weather, an indoor spin class is the perfect way to do so, and similarly, if the heat is too much for you, the indoor setting is a great option. Additionally, indoor cycling classes are often equipped with climate control and proper ventilation, ensuring a consistent and comfortable workout experience regardless of external weather conditions.

Empowers your energy

Cycle class is renowned for pumping up the energy with motivational trainers and energising music. While everyone can tackle their workout at their own pace and strength, the overall environment is perfect for boosting motivation and empowering each other to finish the set. The group dynamic encourages a sense of community, making it easier to push through challenging moments as a class. The vibrant atmosphere creates an experience that is both fun and effective, ensuring that you leave the class feeling energised and fit.

Activates multiple muscle groups

Cycling is a great workout for many reasons, including that it activates multiple muscle groups in one session. Targeting your full leg muscle region, including calves and hamstrings, cycling also engages your glutes, allowing them to become firmer and stronger over time. Additionally, cycling improves cardiovascular fitness, enhances endurance, and boosts overall stamina. Classes also include an arm set (with or without weights), ensuring a full-body workout.  

Self-driven

Whilst cycle classes are set in a group environment with a trainer instructing how best to take the class, at the end of the day the power of the bike is up to the individual. This provides an environment where people can take the class as slow or fast as they like. Indoor cycling allows you to understand how your body is feeling, and what it might need on the day.
