Have you set a goal to get fit this year? If you are planning to join an endurance program like a marathon or walkathon, you can look forward to some biking this year. Biking helps strengthen the quadriceps or quad muscles. Strong quads will prevent injury during long training runs. Biking and swimming are great forms of cross-training that you can intertwine with your weekly runs. Biking is low impact, especially for your knees if you are pounding on them more than 3 days a week.
If you get home late and are not inclined to go outdoors on a road bike, think about getting a stationary exercise bike. You can exercise while you watch TV in the comfort of your home. A stationary bike provides a great cardio exercise indoors. You can speed up your metabolism with fitness bikes and also adjust inclines and resistance level to get a harder workout. If you want to work your upper body too, look for a dual action bike with moving handlebars. Schwinn Airdyne Exercise Bikes are good for this.
Before purchasing a stationary exercise bike, make sure you look into the size, convenience, cost and don’t forget to commit to a schedule. A group can be a great motivating factor, so if you have a friend or a neighbor who is interested, get together for some fun and competition.
