The key concepts of studio cycling

Studio cycling, also known as indoor cycling, is a popular form of exercise that involves riding a stationary bicycle to the rhythm of music and guided by an instructor. The key concepts of studio cycling include:

Resistance

The resistance on the bike can be adjusted to simulate the feeling of riding on different terrains. This resistance can be increased or decreased to make the workout more challenging or easier.

Cadence

This refers to the number of revolutions the pedals make per minute. The instructor may call out a specific cadence range to target different muscle groups and provide a full-body workout.

Positions

Studio cycling typically involves riding in different positions, such as standing, sitting, and hovering over the saddle. These positions work different muscle groups and provide a more comprehensive workout.

Intervals

The workout often includes intervals, where the resistance and cadence are changed rapidly to provide a high-intensity workout.

Music

Studio cycling classes are typically set to high-energy music to motivate riders and help them maintain a steady pace.

Group dynamics

Studio cycling classes are typically done in a group setting, which can add to the motivation and energy of the workout. The instructor leads the class and encourages participants to push themselves to their limits.

Motivation

Studio cycling is an effective way to get a cardio workout, build endurance, and burn calories. The class atmosphere and the group’s energy can help provide motivation and accountability for participants.
