Is cycling enough? 🦵🏽
Cycling examples include: Nustep (where you don’t make full revolutions), spin bike, recumbent bike (supported seat with back), e-bike, bicycle etc.
It’s important to think about intensity 📶
If your goal is to warmup your knee, reduce stiffness and incorporate easier cardio- staying in the lighter intensity may be appropriate ✅
If your goal is leg strengthening, increasing the intensity is important. The goal is to exert more effort, challenge your muscles and aim for the 5-7 range when it comes to difficulty 👍🏽
Cycling can elicit muscle strengthening in the legs which is vital to support the knees and hips especially with arthritis.
It is important to remember variety is key and mixing it up can be beneficial to get well rounded muscle strength ☝🏽
Also, if cycling doesn’t feel good- there are tons of other ways to strengthen your legs so keep that in mind!

Thank you sweetheart 🙏🏼
Please share your daily fitness plan you follow for leg and glutes. Amazing
How many days a week u recommend strength training with ankle weights and stationary biking a week.
My PT said you need to increase your leg muscles
I'm curious about pedaling technique in relation to knee health, I don't really hear much about it and can't seem to find good info. Do you think it's best to fully extend your knee, or leave 15° unbent?
Does cycling with high resistance will enlarge hips?
Whatever you're doing seems to be working pretty good.
You explained well
What about wrists?
💅🖤🔥🔥🔥⚡️
If you have arthritis is a rebounder okay to use??
Spin bike or exercise bike, which is good for knees
Thank you
The information ❤
Beautiful legs
i have early arthritis at my twenties and my doctor said that lifting heavy is forbidden . my aim is bodybuilding fitness powerlifting. now I can't do it. and even more small activity like walking up on a hill causes pain to my knees . is their any solution for this. any advice . for not me to say at years later i wish someone told me that when i was younger
Thank you so much for helping so many people especially older people my age I'll be 76 in one month used to be so physically fit now so physically unfit lol I've got to start watching more of your channel it's just wonderful to help save people's lives and make them happier❤
Hi, excellent videos. I love cycling, but I crashed riding my bike when crossing a bridge made of wood a month ago; I broke my shoulder as a result and had a repair surgery two weeks ago. Now I may wait around 6 months to get back on cycling. On the other hand, the squat and the deadlift are the best exercises to build leg and core strength anyway, I practiced them weekly over the last 5 years and my leg strength grew a lot, I use cycling for aerobic training part since , at least for me, it is the most funnest and liberated activity, good for both physical and mental health.
Combined cycling outside with a mini stepper routine inside. Also enjoy walking loads. All works well. 😊
Cycle uphill. Killer
👊💪
Love that top!
I thought folks with knee arthritis aren't supposed to ride bicycles
Is this depending on intensity and osteoarthritis stage?
❤💍👑😘
When I increase intensity my bike it triggers my hip. I am building up distance which also tires the hip but I stop and then start again. It is improving. The intensity increase will have to come later, I am strengthening with the floor exercises.
Brilliant young lady.
What is the best exercise for numbness in your buttock

This is a great video and so helpful, thank you! I cycle on a recumbent (seated) stationery bike and I adjust my resistance and speed according to what my body will allow and I'm happy to know that I'm doing the right thing!
Whatever it is you are doing for leg strength
Everyone do exactly what the doctor does
No better legs on the planet
Thank You!
My personal opinion get a stationary exercise bike that you can change resistance.
The small pedals equipments might look great but there are so many problems such as; the equipment not heavy enough, and as a person with spasticity I find I move the machine…then you have the machine that have power, which is great to help legs move, get your circulation moving ( I felt great as well), but I rather spent the money on exercise bike and did the warm ups to get my legs circulation.

Thank you
Cycling… My last favorite part of PT lol
I try to cycle every other day. I don’t count miles but I ride for about 2 1/2 hours with one or two 5 minute breaks. The usual routes I take have short and long inclines. My upper thigh muscles are just starting to burn a little bit, on some stretches. I’m 74 now, and this is about my limit at this time. Hopefully it will get easier, and I can add more difficulty going forward. I’ve already noticed some improvement since I started 2 months ago. I’m bone on bone in my right knee, and I don’t want to push to injury.
