Trikke Rides and The Power of the Loop!

Cardio conditioning is also fat burning exercise. Consider the amount of time spent walking on a treadmill, elliptical, or aerobic class. It’s about the movement but it’s also about the non- stop factor. The Trikke provides a low impact highly aerobic workout that burns calories like few other exercises. A 150 pound person can burn 240 calories in 30 minutes of trikking. Imagine 60 minutes. Imagine 90! This is easy for trikkers because the ride is so addicting, 90 minutes go by in a breeze!

Trikking through your neighborhood provides this, but there is something to be said about the power of the loop! Finding a spot where you can have an extended Trikke workout with no distractions or terrain alterations can provide a golden workout, preparing your body for trails and accelerating your arrival to fitness! Put on some Trikke music and have an extended conditioning run. Find a good circular location such as a bank parking lot and let er’ rip! Focus on technique, speed, strength, and endurance. Set a goal of no stopping. Just trikke lap after lap for at least 30 minutes but preferably an hour or more. Your heart, body and soul will love you for it!
