Cardio isn’t just about breaking a sweat—it’s a key player in your long-term health, and RIDE is one of the best ways to get it in. Whether you’re clipping in for the music, the energy, or the challenge, indoor cycling offers a full-body, low-impact workout that strengthens your heart, boosts endurance, and keeps your mind sharp.
How Often Should You Do Cardio?
Experts recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio or 75 minutes of high-intensity cardio per week. That could mean 2-3 RIDE classes a week—totally doable and totally worth it (also because it’s FUN!).
Why is Cardio So Important?
- Heart Health: Strengthens your cardiovascular system, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
- Brain Power: Studies show that regular cardio can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia by improving blood flow and cognitive function.
- Metabolic Boost: Helps regulate blood sugar, burn calories, and improve endurance.
- Stronger Muscles + Joints: Low-impact movement builds strength without excessive wear and tear.
- Mental Health Benefits: Releases endorphins, reducing stress, anxiety, and symptoms of depression.
Long-term, regular cardio keeps you moving, thinking, and feeling your BEST. If you haven’t yet made RIDE a part of your routine, now’s the time—your future self will thank you. We promise.
