Looking for a workout program that will benefit your mind and body? Take one of our bikes for a spin! There’s no better way to start the new year than with us right here at Lunar Cycle. Indoor cycling will have your blood pumping and heart rate bumping as we build both muscle and mind endurance.
Here are 6 reasons we think you should consider indoor cycling with us in 2020.
Burn Baby, Burn
Lighting up calories in a cycling class is a given, especially when a bike includes a tech console. Data on total calories burned, pace, distance, power, and performance even down to the lap is available with the push of a few buttons—all guided by the instructor. Depending on intensity (power) which is directly correlated to distance achieved, the average person burns 450 to 750 calories per hour while cycling. WOW.
Results Without Joint Pain
Some exercise modalities are hard on joints and hinge points, so cycling is an outstanding alternative. With minimal impact on the knees, hips, and ankles, cycling is the perfect activity for those recovering from injuries or just avoiding high-impact aspects of some workout programs.
Build Endurance
With a little time and consistency, pedaling against the resistance on the bikes increases your overall muscle and bone strength. According to the ACSM, you should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week to keep in good cardiovascular health. The steady acceleration of our cycling classes allows your heart rate to climb to the range of moderate-intensity (or higher) and lowers your risk of cardiovascular issues.
Feel The Adrenaline
Exercise makes you feel good—and there’s science behind that exhilaration! You’ve heard of the “runner’s high” or euphoric feelings after a HIIT workout. Cycling can give you the same feeling, and we make it even better with our state-of-the-art studio sound system and lighting. While cycling, your brain produces feel-good neurotransmitters, called endorphins. Interval training also elevates the release of serotonin (mood-boosting chemicals). This can in turn lower symptoms of moderate depression and anxiety. Over time, cycling can have an effect on your overall mood, making you feel calm and in control of your mind and body.

At Lunar Cycle, you’ll find that you’re not just taking a class; you’re joining a community, a team of fun and fitness-minded people who are dedicated to pushing hard and encouraging one another.
