●● History of Indoor Cycling
Answer: Indoor cycling has been around for decades originating with the
outdoor cyclist wishing to avoid inclement weather. The cyclist would
set up their road bikes on rollers like a hamster wheel and train indoors
during the bad winter months. Other means of training indoors that still
remain in use today are stationary bikes and ergometers. The cyclist
would even use music to help him/her pace the ride.
In 1995, indoor cycling was introduced to the fitness industry for group
fitness. A team of group exercise specialists and psychologists including
biomechanics and sport psychologists developed indoor cycling as an
activity that is based on science, safety for the masses, analysis of body
alignment, and conservative exercise progression. Some programs focus
on choreography while others focus on visualization. The FiTOUR
Indoor Cycling program focuses on both choreography and visualization
as tools to achieve the most efficient ride and obtain fitness results.
Indoor cycling continues to gain popularity as a great way to adhere to
the commitment to stay in shape and perfect cycling techniques.
