“Be sure to keep a slight bend in the knee while riding,” he added.
But isn’t biking outside a better workout?
Not necessarily, although studies do show that exercising outside might make youenjoy the workout more.
According to Tran, though, it really depends on your preference.
“Neither is better or worse,” he explained.
“It’s really based on personal preference and the environment in which you prefer to workout.
Depending on the class, there will be intervals, drills, and varied resistance and speed.
There are some amateur mistakes you should be aware of.
The number one mistake Tran sees in new indoor cyclists?
“Their seat is too low!
This takes away from energy output and can cause severe knee pain,” he explained.
Instead, flag down a staff member to help and remember your options.”
Now get out there and start cycling.
