How to Use Incline for Better Results
For Beginners
- Keep it simple with a low incline (0-5%). This helps you build confidence, perfect your form, and ease into incline workouts.
- Focus on using your whole foot to pedal—it’s all about balanced muscle engagement.
For Intermediate Users
- Gradually increase the incline to 10-15% and mix in resistance to target more muscles and crank up calorie burn. You’ll feel stronger—and maybe a little sweaty.
For Advanced Workouts
- It’s time to go beast mode! Use steep inclines (15-20%) for shorter, high-intensity intervals.
- Pair that incline with high resistance for a strength-building cardio session that pushes your limits.
