Bike and step exercises, which mix gymnastics, choreography and music

Manaus (AM) – Some collective classes are traditional and do not go out of style in gyms, always attracting new fans. This is the case with the bike and step exercises, which mix gymnastics, choreography and music. More than just fun, these activities are excellent for your health, improving physical fitness and improving your cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

The coordinator of the Formula Academy, José Roggero, points out that the great differential, which makes these classes among the most sought after, is the combination of exercises with collective animation, which stimulates students even more.

“These are classes that have been successful since the 90s and continue to be successful”,

stresses.

According to José Roggero, there are studies that show that agitated melodies are capable of making a person exercise more. The explanation is biological.

“Sound stimulates the nervous system, releasing more adrenaline. The result is a more excited and willing student”,

explains.

Another factor that makes these classes a success is the interaction between people. As it is a collective activity, one student encourages the other.

“Usually, these are friendships that go beyond academia. Students chat in message groups, they meet outside the gym environment, generating socialization”,

adds.

Another differential of these classes is that anyone can practice, because the load of effort is dosed based on the capacity of each one.

“The evolution of people throughout the classes is noticeable. They start slowly and the more they are trained, the better they perform the exercise and the more benefits they achieve”,

affirm.

The bike class or indoor cycling, as it is also called, simulates various routes, such as climbing slopes and pedaling on the flat. Everything is guided by a physical education professional.

On the bike, there is a load scaler in which each person controls the intensity according to their resistance. According to José Roggero, exercising on the bike improves cardiorespiratory condition, helps with lower limb muscle definition and fat loss. In a 50-minute class it is possible to lose, depending on the intensity of the activity, up to 700 calories.

In the step class, the student practices exercise simulating going up and down a bench, along with arm movements. There are choreographies and different intensity in each stage of the training. Just like indoor cycling, activity improves the cardiorespiratory system, leg muscle definition and contributes to calorie burning.
