Exercise Description

Exercise biking is a low-impact indoor cardio workout performed on a stationary bike. It improves cardiovascular health, burns calories, and builds lower-body strength while being gentle on the joints.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Adjust the seat. Set saddle height so your knees have a slight bend at the bottom of each pedal stroke.
  • Step 2

    Warm up. Pedal at low resistance for 3–5 minutes.
  • Step 3

    Set resistance. Choose a comfortable level, then increase for more intensity.
  • Step 4

    Maintain posture. Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and grip light on the handlebars.
  • Step 5

    Cool down. Reduce resistance and pedal slowly for 3–5 minutes.

  • Use intervals to boost calorie burn and endurance.
  • Engage your core, don’t slouch on the handlebars.
  • Stay hydrated during longer rides.
  • Wear padded shorts or use a cushioned seat for comfort.
  • Track RPM or cadence to keep consistent pace.
