When you start Indoor cyclingLiving time to get used to exercise is not the necessary adjustment. There may be learning curves in terms of terms such as all sports and activities.
Fortunately, CPT, Melanie Melillo, is here to provide a cheat seat for the next cycling class. She shares the most common terms Indoor cycling So you can feel like my rich man.
1. The front and the rear
Melillo says that the seat will be closer to or farther away by the handlebar as a way to adjust the seat.
- entire It means in the future.
- cove It means again.
If you are a beginner, it can be tricky to identify this street, so you are ready to adjust back and forth before riding.
2. Cadence
Melillo says that this is a way that the legs are pedaled and measured by RPM at a given time. Everyone is natural meter It is especially different considering other experiences. Most recreational bikes are about 60 ~ 80 rpm, and elite bikers can be about 90 ~ 100 rpm.
3. Q-Factory
The Q-factor is the distance between the pedals. for example, Body bike Reduce using the optimized Q-factor 165mm Knee stress.
4. Resistance and equipment
The more you increase your resistance, the more pedals you need to use. It is similar to the gear A Road bicycleThe lower gear steps on the pedals, the pedals are much easier, and the high gears make more efforts to pedal. Many bicycles can be used to adjust resistance using knobs.
5. Crank
The crank is a pedal arm. This is a shortcut version of the term for road bicycles: crank set.
6. Fly Wheel
The flywheel is connected to the pedal and is a weighted disk that simulates the outdoor bike. It also helps to build a momentum to create a softer ride and increase efficiency and speed. The body bike has a 41 -pound flywheel.
7. Saddle
It is also called a seat. Law of good experience for adjustment Sheet When you are standing next to you, the saddle should be on your butt.
8. Watts
This is the speed in which energy is used over time or time. The higher the number of OOMPH in the pedal, the greater the watt. Melillo can easily increase watts as it goes up to speed or resistance, and if you want a big radio wave, both increase.
9. Clip
Cycling shoes in the pedal have accessories on the floor. clip. Melillo says this suggestion not only pushes the pedal, but also uses a more efficient pedal stroke because it pulls backwards.
In traditional bicycles without clips, most of your efforts are in the promotion movement, and as the pedals come back, you can lose efficiency. Some indoor bicycles require a clip, but not everything. For example, you can choose a clip in the body bike, but you can also wear regular shoes if you want.
10. Toe cage
If you do not have clip shoes or want to wear regular shoes, there is a pedal option with a toe confinement, so push and fix the shoes. This provides a lot of advantages, such as clipping, and can keep your shoes in place.
11. Climbing
If you ride a bicycle outside, you will add a natural amount of resistance to maintain speed when you go up the hill. In the indoor bicycle, the feeling is replicated by adding additional resistance to the gear. Depending on your exercise or instructor, you can get out of the saddle of some or most climbs.
Melillo said, “It is an amazing challenge to train your body and mind to climb your body and mind while staying in the saddle.” Usually, it usually adds resistance to climbing and mimics outdoor climbing to slow down your legs.
12. Sprinting
It’s similar to running and sprinting interval As soon as possible, in the indoor bicycle, the sprinky requires all short -term efforts that last up to 30 seconds, and Melillo says. Maximum heart rate. You can hear that the trainer uses the term « push », which means increasing speed, but it can be maintained for more than 30 seconds and is not always the biggest effort.
13.
This is a signal from the saddle. This tends to be used during High intensity. Melillo added that you can refer to the speed of a leg similar to running rather than jogging.
« This is better to do this at 75 ~ 85 RPMS, » she says. « Sometimes we say ‘jogging in the saddle’. This proceeds slightly slowly with running. »
