The fitness industry is at the peak of popularity today for workouts that combine efficiency, drive and fun at the same time. One such format is the cycle. XFIT master trainer Edward Ghazaryan talks about the advantages of this type of exercise.
Many types of cardio workouts and methods exist to improve endurance. Running, Nordic walking, elliptical trainers, high-intensity formats and, of course, cycling. While all of these trends do a great job at their core, many cardio formats have a common drawback: the monotonous repetition of movements makes such workouts boring.
Cycle is a cardio format that mimics cycling, but in a gym setting. Under the guidance of a trainer, participants go through a series of “hills”, “sprints”, “plateaus”, alternating pace and resistance. All of this is set to a powerful selection of tracks that literally lead the way. Often cycling is complemented with upper body movements, making the workout more balanced and comprehensive.
In general, we can highlight four benefits of cycling workouts:
they are energy-intensive and safe, as they are performed in a non-impact format;
the training is anatomically effective, as the machine is adjusted to the proportions of a particular person's body, so biomechanically everything is very comfortable;
as a result of training, performance is improved as the heart rate is trained;
due to the group format and friendly competition there is additional motivation to show the best results.
An important point is the clear structure of training: the selection of music tracks, variations of exercises, change of activity are predetermined, so everything happens according to a pre-determined plan. And for those who are planning to build lean muscle mass, working on weight loss and recovery, XFIT has released a line of Whey Protein XFIT with a high protein content in each serving.
So everyone can find a variant to suit their preferences and make saikle workouts even more enjoyable.
It should be noted that Saikle is suitable for almost everyone: beginners who want to lose weight, experienced athletes working on endurance, those who are looking for emotional release and reset. The key is the desire to move and remember to listen to your body.
“Among other things, Saikl training has a great effect on the emotional background. During training, the body produces endorphins, dopamine, adrenaline and other hormones - they improve mood, increase motivation, improve endurance and promote fat burning. Music, light, energy of the hall and drive of the trainer create the atmosphere of a real fitness rave. After such a workout, a person leaves with a feeling of victory over himself, filled with happiness and with the feeling that you can do anything,” summarizes Edward Ghazaryan.
