Is not Jeannie Longo who wants.

If the prospect of practicing road cycling does not really delight us, why not indulge in indoor cycling?

A trendy discipline, which will certainly not win us the yellow jersey, but that burns a maximum of calories.

What is RPM ™ ?

In English, RPM ™ stands for "Round Per Minute".

It is on this principle that is based cycling indoor, a discipline that is to achieve a maximum of wheel spin on a bike to the rhythm of a music.

How is an RPM session held?

After a quick warm-up, you pedal for about 45 minutes to the beat of different music.

As in real life, we face climbs, practice the "against-the-clock" and recover on flat.

Some rooms offer to live the session in "immersion": the room is plunged into darkness and images of landscapes are projected on the walls to give the illusion of walking a city or pedaling on mountain paths.

In the end, a session can travel up to 25 kilometers: a great performance for those who are not used to ride a bike.

Depending on the level, the resistance of the pedals may gradually increase to make the exercise more difficult.

RPM to lose weight fast

The RPM ™ is mainly working heart and endurance through the very fast pace of the session (especially when working in interval training - split training).

The RPM ™ is also the perfect discipline to lose weight fast. Very intensive, it can burn up to 675 calories per session.

Those who want a muscular belly, tapered thighs and a bouncing diaper will also be pleased to learn that it tones the whole body and facilitates the elimination of cellulite .

On the other hand, one avoids to practice it in the event of problems of back or knees.

All in the saddle!
