The Ultimate Assault Bike Workouts

12th Dec 19

Assault bikes are up there with the best cardio equipment money can buy. They give you an incredible full-body workout with a resistance that goes as hard or as soft as you need, and that’s ideal for home or for the gym. No matter what you use it for, they are the perfect tool for the job. To make the most of your assault bike though, it’s always a smart idea to get an awesome workout plan first. Luckily, we’ve got just the thing.

Our assault bike workout is designed to be as hard as you need it to be to fit perfectly with your current fitness level and still help you to make some huge progress. There’re no excuses not to give it a try and see the awesome results that it offers. Let’s get into it

The Warm-Up

No matter what exercise plan or workout you’re about to try, it’s always essential that you warm up correctly. It helps you perform better, prevent injury, and it’s just a good habit to get into in general. Whether you prefer stretching gradually or doing a light set, anything is better than nothing. Just make sure you do it.

Here, we’re recommending some of the stretches from our upper leg stretches article to get the ball rolling. Try things like:

  • Lunges
  • Lateral Lunges
  • Standing Leg Grabs

These 3, in particular, should hit everywhere you need to hit, but it’s wise to throw in some full body stretches too.

 

Warm-Up:

  • 10 Lunges
  • 8 Lateral Lunges
  • 10 Standing Leg Grabs
  • 45 Second light Assault bike work

Cool off

After any of the workouts, you need to make sure that you’re aiding your recovery and injury prevention by cooling off again. That’s the best way to maintain your health and your results. You need to bring things back to a rest level slowly, and the best way to do that is by a nice slow set until your breathing and heart rate return to a slower pace.

 

All of these workouts are awesome for what they offer you, and if you have access to an assault bike, they are without a doubt one of the best workouts that you can get. Train to your own skill level and do what you can. You’re only competing with yourself and no one else. Good luck, and keep pushing toward your goals!
