Are you squeezing the best out of your proform recumbant bike?

Have you ever thought if you’re getting the best effects form exercising on your proform recumbant bike? I’m not referring to the commonly known physically enhancing effects that biking is known to have, I’m talking about the direct effects that biking has on your brain and thought patterns. It not only takes to ride a proform recumbent bike, the brain-boosting effects are further enhanced by listening to music while you exercise, specifically classical music. You can find that your verbal fluency can significantly improve when you’ve biked for thirty minutes while listening to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. In fact this was experimentally tested by research over at Ohio State University.

The study took 33 men and women in their last week of a cardiac rehab program as their subjects. In order to prove their hypothesis, the researches had the subjects exercise aerobically for thirty minutes without any music, and then a week later they had them exercise during the same half-hour but combining their workouts with Vivaldi’s four seasons in the background. After each of both workouts, the participants where submitted to a verbal fluency test where they could show their post exercise skills. The results where that after the thirty minute exercise session that included music the results positively doubled in comparison with no music!

Everybody knows the powerful mind-state changing effects that music has over our mood. But the verbal fluency test results where quite astonishing, and the researches say that that it was thanks to the classical music that these impressive results where achieved. Their explanation has to do with the power that music has for opening alternative pathways in the brain. Combine this with the oxygenation effects that an aerobic workout exerts and you can understand why this makes sense.
