Training and exercising consistently can lead to solid improvements in fitness and cycling form. If you can establish a consistent training schedule that fits into your weekly schedule well, you're almost guaranteed to start reaping the rewards. Success builds success, and once you find consistency, and your fitness and motivation start to rise, you will be surprised at how much progress you can make and see.
The winter months can often be challenging for cyclists when it comes to training consistently. With limited daylight hours, poor weather and dangerous road conditions, it can be hard to find the get-up-and-go to get out on the bike and train well for any length of time. One missed session can lead to a poor week, and before you know it, you are on the back foot, chasing fitness and morale.
When it comes to indoor training setups, one exercise bike that will allow riders to complete all of these kinds of workouts is the Yesoul G1M Plus indoor bike. It’s an adjustable stationary bike with a great integrated screen that allows free and unlimited mobile screen mirroring, perfect for following stretching routines or yoga classes indoors before a session. Meaning you can use it as a hub to exercise on and off the bike.
Workouts at home
The best home cycling workouts you can do are generally the ones you enjoy and the ones you are invested in. Remember, if you're not enjoying it, something isn’t right. There’s a huge range of workouts out there, and a huge range of ability levels.
At the beginner level, or for riders just focused on adding some quality, healthy exercise into their days and weeks. Kick off with a quick 30-minute session at an intensity you can sustain comfortably, but to really feel good about yourself, make it count. Replace doom scrolling on your mobile, or surfing Facebook and get thirty minutes of exercise done instead. The endorphin boost after will create a positive mental response, and you will want to do it again, creating a consistent pattern and routine that you can grow sensibly over time.
For more experienced riders, think about ways to create consistency to maximise your gains. Find a timeslot in the week you know works for you and use a fitness tracking app like Strava to log all of your workouts. Seeing the past sessions you have done will make you feel good. You can use AI to create a winter training plan for yourself, or ride on cycling app Zwift using the Yesoul G1M Plus bike screen to do an initial fitness assessment to inform your subsequent sessions and workouts.
If you are struggling for motivation, remember this: you will nearly always feel better for doing some exercise. Even if you do just 15 minutes, 45 or one hour. You will feel better for having done it, think about those long-term gains, and go for it.
Setting your indoor bike up correctly will ensure you are riding in a comfortable and safe riding position with good cycling posture of ‘form’. Golden rule: You should feel comfortable and able to easily maintain the position you are in. Set your bike up so you can comfortably hold the handlebars without overstretching, and set your saddle height so that there’s a slight to medium bend at the knee when your foot is in the six o'clock position. It’s better to have a saddle that’s a little too low than far too high.
Using a YESOUL G1M Plus bike to train indoors.
The Yesoul G1M Plus indoor bike provides an excellent platform for cyclists at home who want to train effectively indoors. Gone are the days of tedious trainer sessions in the garage. The G1M Plus bike has an integrated 21.5” HD screen, eliminating the need to connect to a laptop and making for an easier experience all around.
You can connect your mobile to the bike's system using an included cable and then cast your smartphone to the G1M PLUS bike’s adjustable screen; this is completely free and unlimited. You can then display pretty much whatever you want. The bike is Bluetooth and Wifi equipped and comes with the relevant HDMI cables included. If you want to complete dedicated training sessions, log in to Zwift and take advantage of a huge range of structured workouts, or watch YouTube and complete structured training sessions using the Yesoul or Peloton training apps.
The G1M Plus bike’s rotatable screen lies at the heart of the system's offering. It can be used as part of a session before you start cycling, which boosts the bike's usefulness and value. Load a YouTube video that focuses on stretches or bike-specific core work and follow it as a starter session or cool down after your main cycling workout. An easy-to-use piece of equipment like this can make it more motivating and exciting when it comes to training, and you can choose from an absolutely huge, almost unlimited array of resources, thanks to the ability to simply connect your phone; you won’t be locked into one single platform or subscription platform.
Life is busy now, and it can be hard to find the time to exercise, but in a modern, constantly changing world, finding training consistency and enjoying the range of health benefits that cycling and exercising can bring is one of the best ways to extract joy from life.
