What is a cyclist? This is an intensive training that allows you to quickly lose weight

Translated from English, the word "cyclist" is a bicycle or riding on it. It is in direct meaning that this term is used. Cycling is an aerobic exercise, one of the types of cardio training, very effective for losing weight and maintaining health and good spirits. Let us consider in more detail what you need to know, before you start the exercises, how they pass and under what conditions to wait for a positive result.

How does the aerobic exercise

CYCLE-training takes place in a specially equipped room: several bikes are reinforced on the floor, the lighting is slightly darkened, rhythmic music plays, if possible, an image of a mountain landscape is projected on the screen. This exercise takes place in groups and simulates a bike tour in the mountains, where it is required not only to ride on an even horizontal surface, but also to climb and descend on an inclined one. To do this, the cycling simulator is equipped with special handles that change the vertical angle, and people engaged in it change position from sitting to standing and back. The coach sets the mood and rhythm of training, monitors the actions of participants and regulates the load, changing it every 4-5 minutes. The session lasts from 45 to 60 minutes, includes warm-up and sometimes exercises for press or push-ups.

Intensity of training

Cicle-aerobics refers to the category of extreme exercises, as it gives a strong strain on the heart. For 45 minutes of a busy session, you can spend up to 600 calories. This is much more than you can lose other types of cardio training (a conventional exercise bike or a treadmill). Those who want to simply maintain the health of the body and be cheerful, energetic and cheerful enough to practice for 20 minutes. And if you want to get rid of excess body volume, training should last longer. After all, excess energy starts to be consumed (and the excess weight goes away) only after a 20-minute period of cardio-loading. For an optimal result, it is worth attending classes saikl 2-3 times a week, and after a while the hips and buttocks will get an attractive relief, and cellulite will become less noticeable.

Who is contraindicated cikle

This kind of training can not be chosen by those who have the following diseases:

• Knee joints;
• Cardiovascular;
• High blood pressure (hypertension);
• phlebeurysm.

Before enrolling in the training for the first time, it is advisable to have an examination with a doctor and get advice about what loads are right for you and that is absolutely counter-indicative. If this is not possible, be sure to get the instruction from the coach who knows about all the contraindications to cycling aerobics.

What you need to keep in mind in the first lesson

Having estimated the state of your health and choosing for yourself, you should learn about the peculiarities of the training. Cikle is a very high-speed and energy-intensive load, the first time even colossal, so do not immediately chase experienced athletes. First, it is worth studying the technique of correct breathing and setting the body:

• "Home" option for beginners: the sitting position, the arms are crossed in the center, the pedals are spinning without unnecessary tension, for your own pleasure. Gradually, the load increases.
• The sitting position with widely spaced arms on the steering wheel, the instructor's command changes the resistance levels.
• Standing, hands on the width of the shoulders hold onto the steering wheel, the load on the muscles increases.
• Aggressive technique "standing" with the widest possible setting of hands has the greatest resistance to pedals, the greatest complexity of performance and, as a consequence, efficiency.

Pros of the group

Not everyone who decides to buy such a simulator will be able to start independently on it. First, you need to learn how to hold on correctly, put your knees, hands and back. Secondly, it is very difficult to control the process, change the load, and, often feeling the first fatigue, people interrupt training. In the gym, where the saikl classes are held, there is a special atmosphere. From the very beginning, a small warm-up is conducted and all participants are adjusted to a positive mood. Then they together begin a trip on the rough terrain, where it is difficult to just get up and leave: the situation and the coach's advice maintain a positive attitude, which will help to finish even the most grueling occupation. From the professionalism and optimism of the teacher himself very much depends: he follows the correct implementation of all instructions so that no one is injured, and also maintains a cheerful mood.

Benefits of Sikling

We already said that the cicle is a good way to lose weight. To do this, just before the workout, you should warm up on the treadmill for about 20 minutes, and then stretch out afterwards. But this is not all the merits of this type of fitness. When practicing:

• Increases the endurance of the organism;
• Muscles acquire relief and elasticity;
• Cardioion is most natural;
• The resistance level of the simulator is under flexible control;
• The spine is not overloaded (as when running);
• Classes are suitable for people of any age and degree of preparation.

Cikle is gaining increasing popularity both in the US and Europe, and in Russia, and many people are enthusiastically attending classes. After all, there is no need to perform dance movements, remember the sequence of actions, or you can just not think about anything, watching the changing landscape before your eyes. Of course, the "walk" does not turn out to be relaxing, but makes you give all the best, but the result is worth it.
