Dual Action Exercise Bike -- Three Ways To Faster Results

Dual action exercise bike use helps you make fast progress because workouts use more muscles and build strength and stamina as well.  These machines do more because workouts are more than just simple mindlessly pedaling away.  Here are three tips based on my twenty years of pedaling a Schwinn Airdyne, the classic of a dual action machine.

Recovery Time

Hard workouts cry out for recovery time.  Especially for older riders, every day workouts may not be the best idea.  That assumes you're really working and not just coasting along.  More intense workouts, but with rest days help with fast progress.  Hammer away and then take a rest day.  Spend less time and make more progress.

Circuit Training

Boredom may be the chief obstacle to progress with exercise bike fitness.  Anything that makes workouts more varied helps keep boredom beat back.  Since dual action bikes are short on electronics, something must be done to fight the boredom factor.

Why not throw in other types of exercise along with riding.  For example, get off the bike and do a set of weight exercises at intervals.  After a few minutes of brisk pedaling, think what a set of bench presses could do.  That's a great weight to expand the chest and really get some breathing going.  Not to mention exercising the chest which isn't worked overly much with the bike.

Mix in other exercise types and fight the same old same old.

Varied Pace

Similarly, why just pedal along mindlessly at the same pace for the whole workout.  Mix up the pace so you hammer along at high rate for awhile then back off to recover then repeat.  It's easy enough to write out a pace routine and just vary the pedaling rate based on the time on your timer.  Speed up and slow down and get more done in the same time.  Mix in circuit training with another machine or weights and make fast progress.

Dual action machine fitness results from using more of the muscles on your frame.  Mix it up to make more interesting workouts and make faster progress.  More time in the seat and a higher effort level spells real improvement for weight loss, fat burning and fitness.
