Why the Air Bike is the Single Best Conditioning Tool
You can find very few machines in a box, rowing machines are often a staple, but more and more gyms are outfitting their facilities with Air Bikes. These suckers were initially developed for seniors with limited mobility. But don’t let that fool you, they are nothing if not a brutal form of conditioning. So much so that they’ve earned the nickname “Satan’s Tricycle” and for a good reason.
We Need Cardio to Be at Optimum Health
It’s not complicated; it doesn’t matter who you are; you have to do some form of cardio. That ticker isn’t going to maintain itself, and cardio speeds up your recovery. As winter creeps in, you’re going to be inside more than you want to be, and Air bikes are a fantastic ‘default ’ exercise even for the most neglectful of cardio pursuers. The Fan Bike is an excellent way to smuggle cardio into your routine.
Air Bikes are Ideal for Tabata and Interval Training
Where the Air Bike truly shines as the de facto metabolic conditioning tool. Tabata, intervals, and the air bike are a match made in heaven. Changing up your routine can help push through those plateaus. Even popping on Netflix and casually cranking out a few miles is an excellent way to sneak in your cardio.
Just as important, using an Air Bike can also enhance your mindset. If you have ever used an Air Bike at high intensity, you know it isn’t easy. When you get on it at a high intensity, it will indeed test your mental fortitude as your arms and legs swell with lactic acid, and scream for relief, it feels as though you are biking through fire.
Despite the name, your rest days indeed should not involve purely relaxing, if you are trying to minimize your recovery time.
Studies have shown time and time again that some light activity on your rest days, or even the day after a game, can lessen recovery time by providing mobilization and blood flow to flush out unwanted waste products, like lactic acid, lingering in your muscles. The Air Bike does just that, moving your entire body together, and increasing blood flow to all parts.
The bottom line is that an Air Bike is a must-have tool in your gym. It’s perfect for recovery, long cardio stretches, and intervals. Plus, it’ll give your grandmother more reason to come over and visit.
