Bicycling, Stationary

Stationary bicycling is a cardiovascular exercise that involves pedaling on a stationary bike.

Instructions

• Adjust the seat height so that your legs have a slight bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke.
• Keep your back straight and hold onto the handles for balance.
• Begin pedaling at a slow pace to warm up, then gradually increase your speed and resistance according to your fitness level.
• Maintain a steady pace and keep breathing consistently.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Setting the seat height too low, which can strain the knees.
• Leaning forward excessively, causing back strain.
• Starting with too high resistance, leading to fatigue or injury.
• Holding the breath, which can impact performance.
• Pedaling too quickly without control, reducing effectiveness.
