Indoor Cycling
Indoor cycling popped up in the 90s and has become one of the hottest workouts. Indoor cycling challenges your body and your mental strength. The initiative is to keep going, even when you're body is screaming at you to stop, but then you keep pushing yourself. That's why it's so effective. Indoor cycling is also a fun way to switch up your normal routine and keep your sessions indoors. You're surrounded by others with energetic music, which gets you into the groove to bike your way through whatever fantasy location you have on your mind. Indoor cycling is for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Plus you can go at whatever pace you feel is appropriate for yourself. In a one-hour session, you can burn up to 700 calories. Ride your way to a healthier and leaner you.
