indoor cycling – Velocity Fitness Gym

Our dedicated over 50’s Indoor Cycling group meet on Fridays at 9.30 for their 45 minute cycle class.

Indoor cycling offers a range of health benefits specifically beneficial for individuals over 50. It is considered a safe and effective way to promote overall wellness and maintain an active lifestyle.

Here are some key benefits:

Joint-Friendly Fitness: Indoor cycling is a low-impact exercise, which means it puts less stress on joints compared to high-impact activities like running. This makes it a suitable option for individuals experiencing joint pain, arthritis, or recovering from injuries.
Cardiovascular Health: Regular indoor cycling helps strengthen the heart, improves blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. It can also help manage cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Muscle Strengthening and Endurance: Cycling engages major muscle groups in the lower body, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. This helps build and maintain muscle mass, which is crucial for preserving mobility, balance, and reducing the risk of falls as we age.
Improved Mental Well-being: Exercise, including indoor cycling, has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. The rhythmic nature of pedalling can have a meditative effect, and social interaction in group classes can further boost mood and motivation.
Weight Management: Indoor cycling is an efficient way to burn calories and body fat, supporting weight management, which is a key factor in cardiovascular health
