How to perform exercise

To begin, seat yourself on the bike and adjust the seat to your height.

Cycling offers convenience, cardiovascular benefits, and has less impact than other activities. A 150 lb person will burn about 280 calories cycling at a moderate rate for 30 minutes, compared to 450 calories or more running.

What muscles work?

If the correct technique is followed, the following muscle groups work: Quads, and auxiliary muscles:

Weight and number of repetitions

The number of repetitions and working weight depends on your goal and other parameters. But the general recommendations can be presented in the form of a table:

Goal	Sets	Reps	Weight, %1Rm	Rest between sets
Strength	2-6	1-5 reps	100-85%	3-7 min
Mass gain	3-6	6-12 reps	85-60%	1-4 min
Fat burning	2-4	13-25 reps	60-40%	1-2 min

In order to make the training more diverse and effective you have to change the number of repetitions and the working weight. It is important not to go beyond certain values!
