The stationary bike walk is a cardiovascular exercise performed on a leverage machine (stationary bike). It primarily targets the cardiovascular system and also engages the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. The exercise involves pedaling at a steady pace, with the option to adjust resistance for increased intensity.

How do you perform this exercise?

  1. Adjust the seat height and position on the stationary bike to ensure proper alignment.

  3. Start pedaling at a comfortable pace, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
