Gyms and platforms like FIIT have started introducing assault bike workouts to their rosters, but just how effective are they compared with regular cardio sessions? Writer Ella Glover has been finding out.
When it comes to fitness, I’m very much of the mindset that you get the best results when you do what you enjoy. For me, that usually doesn’t leave room for intentional cardio. On top of my strength training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practice, the cardio I get comes from cycling or walking to and from the gym.
Sometimes, though, our fitness goals and what we enjoy dovetail, and this year, I want to improve my cardio. Now, adding more cardio into your fitness routine can be daunting, especially because low-intensity steady-state (LISS) cardio can extend your workout by upwards of 30 minutes.
