Indoor cycling is one of the most popular group fitness activities in Spain. And although it's a sport typically practiced in gyms through group classes, the pandemic has boosted its popularity with at-home workouts.
During lockdown, our mobility has been limited, and we've had to change our training habits. We're spending more time at home than we'd like, which has forced us to reinvent ourselves and find the best way to stay active. Indoor cycling is one of the best and most effective options.
As we've mentioned before, indoor cycling offers more than just the basic benefits of any sport. Pedaling is one of the best exercises for maintaining our health and fitness; experts even say it significantly improves heart health, makes us feel better, and reduces stress.
If you're passionate about indoor cycling , you'll recognize the importance of having apps that further enhance the features of the bikes and your workouts. At Bodytone, we offer some of the most renowned apps in the indoor cycling world.
Connectivity: Virtual cycling apps
A bike is smart when it allows direct interaction by connecting via Bluetooth or ANT+ to a smartphone, tablet or computer, thus sending the data of each training session to the available apps.
These apps create specific indoor cycling workout routines and provide data analysis and performance tracking for each session. They also allow you to transform workouts into virtual competitions and enjoy exciting sessions on virtual routes.
