Physical Preparation
Physical preparation is an option of the individual to benefit himself or herself. In
many cases the quest for having the right physical form to live the day-to-day life well appears
to be a sacrifice at first. It is important to understand that those people who do not try to have
suitable physical form are gradually giving up their long-term well-being.
As the person invests in physical preparation and rediscovers the pleasure of firm and
sure movement, of having strength and resistance to face the day-to-day, he or she
understands that it is a fundamental condition for living well and ensuring his or her physical
and mental health.
In order to have a preparation which provides full, safe and pleasurable activity, the
individuality of each person must be preserved. As Universal Fitness sees it, the best way of
ensuring this is to teach the individual about monitoring his or her heartbeat range, in the case
of aerobic preparation, and about the suitable combination of exercises and loads in muscular
physical preparation.
Aerobic physical preparation will ensure resistance. Muscular preparation will ensure
strength.
Regardless of one's age, it is important to be aware that living well involves
maintaining one's resistance and strength throughout one's life.
Muscle Toning
To tone muscle while on your bicycle you will need to have the resistance set quite
high. This will put more strain on your leg muscles and may mean you cannot train for as long
as you would like. If you are also trying to improve your fitness you may need to alter your
training program. You should train as normal during the warm-up and cool-down phases, but
towards the end of the exercise phase you should increase the resistance making your legs
work harder. You will have to reduce your speed to keep your heart-rate in the target zone.
Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer
you work the more calories you will burn. This is effectively the same as if you were training to
improve your fitness, the difference being the goal.
