Cycle classes have always been considered as being safe for the knees, joints and pelvic floor.Well... what if I told you that these classes can possibly be harming you?A cycle class is a pretty regular fixture on most gym time-tables, and I have been to my fair share. They always guarantee a heart rate raising, sweaty work out. However, the origins of many of the cycle classes that appear on your gym timetable have not come from cycle science. But rather a forced marry of choreographed moves on a stationary bike to match the beats per minute of the music chosen. The pop tune moves coupled with the push for speed found in the the average cycle classes, may in fact, be harming you. Or more specifically, the delicate ligaments that are around your knees and pelvis that keep you stable, active and pain-free.
