Meaning and dose

Cycling covers outdoor bicycles and stationary bikes; resistance, cadence, terrain and duration determine the workload. Health associations and training responses vary, so no universal calorie figure or intensity follows from the word bike.

Use and limits

Set the bike and workload for comfort, goal and current capacity. Cycling can contribute to aerobic training but does not guarantee weight loss, pain-free joints or HYROX® performance.
