About

It's a general cardio. Workout to keep you out of breath!

How to Warmup Stationary Bike

Starting Position

1. Please adjust the height of the saddle so that your leg does not fully extend when pressing the pedal and can be slightly bent.

2. Relax your shoulders and keep your back straight while placing your center of gravity on your hips.

Proper Form

1. Adjust the height of the saddle so that the leg pressing the pedal does not fully extend and can be slightly bent.

2. Relax your shoulders and keep your back straight while shifting your center of gravity backward.

3. When pedaling, always keep your knees in a straight line and be careful not to let them drift outward.

4. To build thigh muscles, focus on the downward force applied vertically, and for smooth legs, apply pulling force to the pedal before it reaches the bottom position.

Breathing Technique

Maintain natural and regular breathing. Please breathe comfortably in sync with the pedal rhythm.

Precautions

Please be careful not to let your knees spread apart or come together.
