Safety is the first and most important goal during indoor cycling training.
The handlebars, seat, and petals should be fully adjusted and tight. Your hands are always firmly placed on top of the handlebars. It is important to hold on for upper body stability. Keep your knees inward pedaling and always keep minimal resistance on to control your legs. Do not petal with your knees outward to prevent stress or injury on the knees joints. You will have better control with your knees inward, when you start increasing your speed. When you want to stop pedaling, press the red resistance knob down and you will slow down. A climb is harder resistance and keeping your knees straight, decreases the strain on the knee joints. The best footwear for indoor cycling is cycling shoes because they can clip into the petals. The seat adjustment is important to avoid stress on the knees and lower back. Always keep your body tight and enjoy your ride.
