Target Muscles

Instructions

  1. Adjust the seat. Set saddle height so your knees have a slight bend at the bottom of each pedal stroke.
  2. Warm up. Pedal at low resistance for 3–5 minutes.
  3. Set resistance. Choose a comfortable level, then increase for more intensity.
  4. Maintain posture. Keep your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and grip light on the handlebars.
  5. Cool down. Reduce resistance and pedal slowly for 3–5 minutes.

Tips

  • Start light if you’re new; gradually add resistance or time.
  • 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.
