How does the slim cycle work?

Slim cycles are just like any ordinary stationary folding exercise bike, but the difference is that they offer arm resistance bands and a heart monitor. If you live in a small apartment and looking for a way to save some space, yet want your home gym, then a slim cycle can be your best option, as you can easily fold it up and store it in your closet when you don’t need them. The slim cycle is also very safe as you can easily fold it and store it out of reach of children. According to slim cycle reviews, they offer the same benefits of a stationary indoor bike but in half the time.

How does the slim cycle work?

A slim cycle comes with resistance bands attached to them so that you can pedal with your lower body and work out your arms with the bands at the same time. Upper body resistance bands are adjustable and you can increase the resistance by pushing the band up through the handle covet length then lock the ring by pulling through. You can also decrease the resistance by the same process. Keep in mind there is only one side of the upper body resistance band that is adjustable. So, if one side does not adjust, try the other side.

The slim cycle offers 8 magnetic resistance settings that are located in the middle, and below the handlebars, and can be turned to increase or decrease the pedal resistance. But make sure to turn the dial back to zero after your workout is done.

You will get the cardio workout from pedaling the slim cycle, which will help burn the calories and help you lose weight, and the resistance bands will help you tone the muscles in your arms and chest.

They are suitable for both adult men and women of any height and will hold up to 300 pounds of weight. The slim also cycle allows you to easily transfer from a high-intensity upright position to a low-intensity recumbent position. Yes, you read that right! You have a chance of choosing both the upright and recumbent position on the slim cycle.

Large opening:

There is a large space or opening between the handlebars and the seat, which means if you are a large person you won’t have to squeeze yourself into a small space, rather you would get enough room to comfortably get mount or dismount.

Handles:

The slim cycle also offers an additional set of built-in handles next to the seat, besides the handlebars at the front and next to the digital display. You can hold on to these handles to balance yourself when you mount and dismount the bike. If you are tired of holding your arms up in front of you and not working with the resistance band, you can choose to hold on to these sets of handles as you pedal.

Heart monitor:

Slim cycles are also featured with a built-in heart monitor that monitors your heart rate as you ride. Though you will need to hold your bike’s handles in a certain way to activate the heart monitor.

Wheels:

Wheels come attached with slim cycles. They offer easy storage of the bike. With wheels, you won’t have to pick up the bike and carry it, you can easily use the wheels to move them around by rolling.
