How to be efficient and inspired with fitness?  Over and over I marvel at how simple but effective something can become with a little bit of creativity.  Having a stationary bike became an important investment for my fitness minimum while living in India; walking was a given, but I needed to add a fitness approach that was complimentary and didn’t require a lot of space.

Quite quickly, I built my stamina by using the three positions on the bike, (sitting, standing, and hovering.)  I would create different intervals mixing and matching the three positions for an hour a day.  As that became easier, I looked at doing something with the sitting time, so I added the Integrative “I” band and a set of small dumbbells.  With both exercise tools, I could incorporate a toning workout with stretching, resistance training, and weight training while keeping rhythm and cardio in the mix.  Creativity is the key. Deciding how long for a set, how many repetitions, what angle, where to attach the band (or not and freestyle it), and sensing into where my body could use personalized work is up to you and how you want to enhance your workout.

One of the most fundamental points to keep in mind is posture and core engagement while playing with the exercise tools.  In fact, that is key period to maximizing one’s benefits of cycling or with any exercises.  The more one focuses on proper alignment, a vertical spine, and core connectedness, the greater benefit one experiences for a more complete body workout.

I have added a few video links below to get the creative juices started.  Have fun and don’t hesitate to email me and ask questions.
