Hopping on an exercise bike<\/a> is a great way to get your heart pumping. According to fitness experts, indoor cycling<\/a> is one of the best easy, low-impact cardio workouts<\/a> you can do. If you\u2019re thinking of trying an exercise bike, look to the CAROL bike<\/a>, which claims to deliver the shortest, most efficient cardiovascular workout in just five minutes. But how exactly does it work?<\/p>\n

CAROL Bike<\/p>\n

Though it may look like any other regular exercise bike, the CAROL<\/a> bike\u2014short for Cardiovascular Optimization Logic\u2014boasts unique features. According to the brand, it\u2019s the world\u2019s first Reduced Exertion HIIT (REHIT)<\/a> exercise bike\u2014which gives you a short, effective cardio workout that\u2019s backed by studies<\/a>. More specifically, the brand claims that the CAROL<\/a> bike delivers the same health and fitness results as a 45-minute run\u2014in just five minutes. <\/p>\n

\u201cREHIT or Reduced Exertion Hit is a form of interval training that requires fewer sprints, shorter durations, and less total time than a typical HIIT workout<\/a>,\u201d explains Jim White R.D.N., ACSM EX-P, owner of Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studios<\/a>. \u201cThe CAROL<\/a> Bike uses research that shows that short, high intensity intervals can prompt the same or higher metabolic and cardiovascular benefits as longer moderate intensity exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bike<\/a> incorporates two maximum effort, 20-second sprints which is then separated by low intensity cycling<\/a>, says White. \u201cThe sprints push your muscles to quickly use up their glycogen stores which triggers a fight or flight response, activating pathways that improve heart health, mitochondrial function, and fat metabolism,\u201d he explains. <\/p>\n

The CAROL<\/a> bike also uses AI to personalize your workouts<\/a> specifically for your age and fitness level, continually optimizing and adjusting the resistance to create the shortest, most effective workout for you. (Note: a CAROL membership<\/a>, gives you access to AI-Optimization, as well as a library of workouts, a detailed performance dashboard, and more, for an additional $19.99 per month.) <\/p>\n

Ultimately, this bike is designed to make exercise more accessible and efficient, especially for busy people, notes White. \u201cThe CAROL bike<\/a> is ideal for professionals who have limited time for working out, individuals who don\u2019t enjoy long workouts or struggle with motivation, older adults or beginners who need low impact, guided workouts, and people returning to exercise and needing a time-efficient, scalable program,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n

If you are curious about trying out this innovative exercise bike<\/a> but not sure if the workout is right for you, the CAROL bike<\/a> comes with a 100-day risk-free home trial<\/a>. That means you can test it out with the option to return it within 100 days from delivery for a full refund. The bike also comes with free standard delivery, making the cost of risk absolutely nothing. Try it now (why not?), and get ready for your most efficient work out yet.<\/p>\n
