Cycling Trainers to Keep You in Shape

2016/7/25 14:51:04

Cycling in the summer is fun and easy, you feel motivated and the weather is inviting. In the winter it’s whole different story. Even if you don’t have severe winters where you live the cold is enough to keep you in bed and away from your bike. A stationary bike is no good if all you do is pump away with no challenge of a great hill. So what do you do? Get cycling trainers to help push you further and keep you in shape. You can hook one of these babies up to your bike and pedal away indoors with no problems.

Use Resistance to Your Advantage

Cycling trainers provide you with resistance that other stationary bikes don’t. This will allow you to feel exactly like you are going up those wonderful hills. Unfortunately there’s nothing to make you fee like you are going downhill. Cycling trainers are a device that you can hook your bike to; this is a bonus in many ways. You are used to how your bike feels and using your own bike will prepare you better for when you are out on the road again.

You can choose different programs on your cycling trainers to train yourself. You can have a spin workout if you really want to burn calories and one up or you can have structured intervals to improve stamina. Combine your cycling trainers with a weight resistance workout and you will have an amazing workout that will really work every muscle in your body.

Compatible

Cycling trainers are compatible with your lifestyle, whatever that may be. They are portable enough that they do not take up a lot of space. If you buy a model that works with magnet or fluid then you have a very quiet model that is ideal for an apartment or a place where you share accommodation. Once you have your trainer you have no excuse, the machine will give you a great workout only if you use it.

Try and use the trainer as many times as you would cycle if the weather permitted it. Keeping fit throughout the winter will give you many benefits. Among them an increased ability to cycle, you can push past your limits in a way you wouldn’t be able to without the cycling trainers. It may seem boring at first so make sure you have great music that gets you going or something fast paced and exciting on TV to watch while you work out.
