Cycling Benefits of Training at Home with a Home Trainer

Cycling is an outdoor sport, that's what people know but there is another side of the coin where a bike, when paired with a simple home trainer, becomes a great fat burner or a fitness machine that can be used at home. READ MORE

Akash Bhattacharjee

Earlier home trainers were used by athletes to train for endurance and to increase saddle time but now due to increasing traffic risks and different health hazards, cycling frequently for an average person is a very big question!
Thus, practicing the sport on a home trainer becomes a more logical option. One may easily set his bike on a home trainer and continue to cycle avoiding all risks. Working out on a home trainer has a couple of benefits over working out on an exercise bike or a stationary bike. A home trainer guides with a more specific riding position while you're training at home and then again when you feel like taking your bike on the road, you can simply take off the trainer and hit the trails.
There are quite a few other benefits of working out on Home Trainers.
‍ ‍

Time efficiency


Home Trainers give you an option to workout at any hour of the day compared to normal cycling where you have to plan things ahead and if you are a family person when it becomes more difficult to leave the kids and go for a 10-mile ride. Whereas on a home trainer you may ride for 15 miles without calculating the time needed to ride back home and watch for the kids as well during your workout.typical cycling

Safety


We all enjoy a ride in nature, riding in the dark Alps or maybe a downhill session with the souvenir of mud on your gear. All these things might please you and the home trainer might not give you the same kind of experience but it eliminates worries related to safety concerns like carrying a spare tire, a repair kit or even the trouble of low visibility at night and avoiding all the rash drivers on the road.
It also helps one to choose their apparel of choice as there's no question of a sun tan, cold or matters concerning fashion.
‍all kinds of data is provided by the trainer

More accurate


A home trainer provides all the data you need. A controlled and targeted workout is the biggest advantage of a home trainer, whenever we are cycling we tend to not put efforts throughout the ride that is for example if we are riding downhill, for the most of it we freewheel at the cost of some junk miles counted on the bike computer. This won't result in the proper fitness session that you're looking for. The trainer instead is an opposite machine as one would have to pedal continuously on the given resistance making your time more invested towards the fitness you want to achieve.

Versatility


The trainer has more customisations as per the terrain and the mode of workout. One can also select sessions as per the circuits or modes in which they want to train their body. It also has customisations on the type of circuit or the length of training.

It' s fast and not affected by the weather


Did you ever feel that you cover low distances during the cold climates? It is because the colder it gets the air becomes denser and it takes more effort to push yourself through low temperatures, rain, and wind chills. You know that your leg muscles aren't operating at the ideal temperatures. You would probably also be wearing thicker clothes and more layers which cause restrictions as compared to riding in lightweight jerseys in summer.

Smarter


The latest smart trainers with an App like Btwin Training, Zwift or Trainer Road, which takes your training to the next level as it plays videos that are pre-recorded and will play at the speed of your pedaling giving you a virtual reality experience of Cycling and it can be also customized by your smartphone which helps you to easily change your training according to your fitness needs. ‍

Fun


It's fun to share the data on one's social media to compete with friends and inspire others with your workout stats and also using the time very efficiently. Thus a home trainer becomes the most important part of the cycle that keeps the sport alive no matter what ! sport will keep you fit and healthy ‍
