“Excuses don’t burn calories. Tabatas do!

THE STATIONARY BIKE CAN BE A SUPER-EFFECTIVE TOOL WHEN YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT FAT LOSS.

While it’s a low impact form of cardio, which means it takes longer to burn the same amount of calories you would on a treadmill, you can use high-intensity training protocols on the bike to boost the burn.

A bike Tabata workout will help you blast more calories, and it’ll cut the time you need to spend pedalling to see results, all while saving your knees and reducing the impact on your body.

HOW TO DO THEM:

Warm up with a 10 minute pedal at a moderate intensity and cadence (around 80 rpm is suitable).


1. Do 20 seconds of at-out pedalling at a moderate resistance. Increase your cadence to 100 rpm or more.

2. Follow this with a 10 second interval of 
recovery cycling. 


3. Repeat this 8 times. 


Remember to stretch out your hamstrings after a good session on the the bike!
