Bike Training
Add spin
bike training to your exercise program with Jeff. Spinning
(Bike) training is one of the best low impact ways to get
and stay in shape, aerobic advantage to bike riding can be
as much as twice as beneficial as elliptical or treadmill
with as much as half the impact.
This
physical training can be tailored to most people of various
physical ability. The training starts out with basic stretching,
core abdominal exercises and goes into proper technique on
how to use the stationary bike properly, proper body position,
seat adjustments, terminology etc. The workout is split for
the beginner at 50/50 Bike to physical exercise off the bike.
For the more advanced rider the break goes to 80/20 bike to
exercise off the bike. This program can be done as a solo
and group programs forming soon.
I even
have regular bikes and helmets to bike tours for exercise
and to tour the city of the Atlanta,

For Your State of Mind
Riding
a bike is a proven stress releaser. Regardless of if you are
riding purely for pleasure or for a specific purpose, you
will arrive at your destination feeling relaxed, energized
and happier about the world and yourself. Consider cycling
for weight loss in a variety of ways. How about these options?
·
Try having a scheduled daily ride of about an hour.
·
Could you ride your bike to and from work or school? If you
did this most days of the week and ate a healthy diet, you
could easily expect to lose one pound a week.
·
Another option is to plan family or group rides a few times
a week. Make this a longer ride of a couple hours. Coupled
with a healthy diet this would also bring a weight loss of
about one pound a week.

HOW TO SELECT THE PROPER SEAT HIEGHT FOR YOU ON YOUR
BIKE!
Continuing
ths exercise series on Spin bike exercise and enjoyment, probably
the most iportant thing is the proper seat hieght for you.
If the seat is too low, you won¹t be able to get enough
leg extension on the downstroke and your legs will tire out
faster. If it's too high, you'll be straining to reach and
might injure yourself. Here's a good rule to follow: Your
upstroke knee should never exceed hip level, while your downstroke
knee should be about 85 percent straight. And don't grip the
handlebars too tightly, as this will increase the tension
in your neck and shoulders. Hopefully this was informative
and helpful for you, www.fitnesswithjeff.com
