You’d think a stationary bike would be just as effective for getting fit as an outdoor bike, but it isn’t.  People using a road get fitter than people using a stationary bike. For one an outdoor bike is more fun, so your likely to be on it longer. Many of us will not continue to ride once the timer goes off. We will leap off and head straight for the showers. Outdoor cyclists may find it harder to get started, but once they do they go longer because they are having a good time. It’s a sport as well as exercise. However it’s not just a matter of how long we do it. There’s another subtle thing that makes natural exercise more effective than machine stimulators.

Weightlifters were the first to learn that using free weights-barbells and dumbells and kettlebells-trained the muscles faster and better than machines. Why? Because Balance is a more important factor in exercise than had been realized. When we balance weight we use more of a given muscle; different fibers and levels of the muscle are brought into play to lift and balance at the same time. If you don’t think so try balancing a heavy load over head today when you perform your split jerks!!
