Indoor Cyclists Will Love These Three Android Apps

Exercise is a vital part of everyday life, but too many of us neglect our bodies due to easy and sedentary lifestyles. In the past, it was difficult to avoid exercise due to the nature of work, but we can often go for weeks or months without any true physical exertion these days. Many people have excuses for not exercising, but they are merely that: excuses. Low impact exercise is the best way to achieve cardiovascular health, as it does not wear down your legs, knees and other joints. Indoor cycling and spinning classes have become all the rage as of late, but how can you be sure of the benefits you receive from each session? Thankfully, mobile technology has a solution for that in the form of mobile applications. In the following article, we will discuss three of these applications for Android devices and outline why each one can help you.

Spinning Indoor Cycling

Whether you live in an urban area and have access to spinning classes or simply like to accomplish your daily exercise indoors, cycling in this environment can be a great way to enjoy some of the comforts of modern life while achieving cardiovascular benefits. Another way to accentuate the process is through the use of the Spinning Indoor Cycling app for Android devices. Available for free from Google Play, Spinning Indoor Cycling will allow users to track their progress as they spin and bike, showing metrics such as heart rate, miles traversed, time spent on the bike and your average speed. A heart monitor (sold separately) can be used to keep you on track, and can also record your weight and blood pressure. You will even be able to see how many calories you have burned, which can be an additional perk for those who want to be healthy and lose weight.

FitCycle

If you need a bit of variance in your daily indoor cycling routines, then the FitCycle app can be an excellent solution. Its interface allows users to create and generate customized workout routines that will vary up the intensity and resistance of each workout. You can control your music via voice commands within the app, receive motivational instruction, count your calories via the accurate estimation based on your workout and see the estimate distance covered and time spent cycling. Available for Android devices, the FitCycle app can be downloaded for free from Google Play.
