Trainers explain whether an indoor cycling class or Peloton session can be considered strength training (leg day, anyone?) or if it is just cardio.
When I step off the bike after a particularly intense cycling class, my legs can sometimes feel a little wobbly. Especially if the instructor programmed some major hill work with lots of resistance, my quads will be quivering, and I just know they’re gonna ache tomorrow.
Even if you crank up the resistance as high as it goes during a hill workout while cycling, that can’t compare to doing hip thrusts or lunges with heavy weights. “Think about the resistance you put on a bike: I just did 10,000 reps—you would never do that with weights,” Schneider says. If you’re able to pull off 10,000 pedal strokes in a cycling class, the load is obviously going to be very different from a strength session that asks for just 10 reps.
