It <a href=\"http:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/5-important-health-benefits-electric-bikes\/\">has been proven<\/a> that it is possible to get effective exercise on an ebike, if you use it in pedal assist mode. And of course, also if you use it without assistance. You can choose, for example, to <em>only use assistance on uphills<\/em>. You can also choose to use a low level of electrical assistance, so that you still have to work hard to keep the bike going. Bear in mind that ebikes are heavy &#8211; anything between 35 and 70 pounds. So, it takes energy to keep them going.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-electric-bikes-exercise-your-core-muscles\">Electric Bikes Exercise Your Core Muscles<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Because ebikes are heavy, your entire body, and especially your core, will have to work to ride it. Your core muscles will engage as you balance it and maneuver it around corners. Also as you wheel it in and out of your garage or elevator. Similarly, your joints and bones will be strengthened by what is essentially <strong>weight-bearing exercise<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-research-proves-that-you-can-get-fitter-and-healthier-with-an-electric-bike\">Research Proves that You can Get Fitter and Healthier with an Electric Bike<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Riding an electric bike will <strong>improve your cardiovascular fitness. <\/strong>It will improve the efficiency of your heart, your lungs, and your blood vessels, while improving your blood pressure. Like all exercise, it will also improve many other aspects of your health. These include your blood sugar processing, and your resistance to cancer. <a href=\"http:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/5-important-health-benefits-electric-bikes\/\">This post sums up several research studies<\/a>, which all showed that people get effective exercise on an ebike, and experienced improvements in both fitness and health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In fact, researchers were often surprised at <strong>how much exercise people got on ebikes<\/strong>, as compared to regular bikes. Some started off skeptical, and admitted to being surprised by their research findings. In short, riding an electric bike brings with it all the many benefits of exercise. This is crucial, because exercise has been described by researchers as a <a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/exercise-miracle-cure\/\">miracle cure<\/a> for most of the ailments that eventually kill us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>See also this post on <a href=\"http:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/many-calories-can-burn-electric-bike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how many calories you can burn on an electric bike<\/a>.<\/li>\r\n<li>See also my post on how my friend Ron <a href=\"http:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/heart-attack-survivor-electric-bike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uses his electric bike to keep getting exercise as a heart attack survivor<\/a>).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_391\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-391\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-391 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Ron-Wensel-with-a-Pedal-Easy-Electric-Bike-7502.jpg\" alt=\"3 ways to Use an Electric Bike to Get Fit.

with an Electric Bike &#8211; Use it for Transportation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Almost all researchers agree that if you get an adequate amount of moderate exercise, it will have an extremely good effect on your health. Specifically, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/physicalactivity\/basics\/adults\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">US Government<\/a> recommends that we all get <strong>at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise<\/strong> \u2013 or 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise \u2013 per week. Of course, it can be hard to fit this into a busy schedule. That&#8217;s why so many people are turning to <strong>active transportation<\/strong>, such as walking, cycling, or riding an electric bike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you ride a bike to work, you are exercising twice a day, five days a week. That adds up to a whole lot of exercise very quickly. This happened to me when I started commuting to work every day on an ebike. Thirty minutes twice a day added up to <strong>5 hours of moderate exercise per week<\/strong>. This was double the recommended minimum, and it made me fitter than I had ever been before. (Except maybe when I was a child.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-your-electric-assistance-wisely-to-get-fit\">Use Your Electric Assistance Wisely to Get Fit<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>With great power comes great responsibility! In the case of the ebike, that means do <strong>not<\/strong> get a bike with a throttle controller and just sit on it, without pedaling. Obviously, that is <em>not<\/em> going to make you fit. Of course, if you just wanted transport, that would be fine. <strong>But if you also want to get fit, you are going to have to pedal<\/strong>. The beauty of an ebike is that if you get a Pedelec-style ebike, the assistance only kicks in when you pedal. You can choose varying levels of assistance to kick in once you start pedaling. This means that you can <em>choose<\/em> how hard you want to pedal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>And let&#8217;s face it &#8211; we don&#8217;t need researchers to tell us whether we are getting a workout. We can feel it for ourselves as we ride, and &#8211; often more so &#8211; <strong>after<\/strong> we ride. If you feel tired after a ride, you have had a workout! So all you need to do is to choose a level of assistance that is low enough that you can feel your body is getting a moderate workout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-fittest-i-ever-got\">The Fittest I Ever Got &#8230;<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When I was commuting on an electric bike, I used my own power as much as possible. I usually only engaged significant assistance when I needed it &#8211; for uphills, and when sudden bursts of speed would make me safer. Also, because the bike was heavy, I would sometimes engage a low level of assistance on flats, to compensate for the weight of the bike. Some of the hills were very steep and very long. This meant I had to pedal as hard as I could, as well as use maximum assistance, to get up them. My bike only had a 350 Watt motor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-electric-power-plus-your-own-power-for-thrilling-speed\">Use Electric Power Plus Your Own Power for Thrilling Speed!<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To be honest, there were also times when I used maximum assistance on flats. However, this was when I was in places where it was safe to go really fast. On those occasions, I would use maximum assist, plus pedal like a mad man, just for the thrill of getting up to as fast as 32 miles per hour on my bike.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_1964\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1964\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2CUWOy6\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1964 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/cycling-at-speed.jpg\" alt=\"3 Ways to Use an Electric Bike to Get Fit.

This post reports on research into the effects of ebiking regularly. Most of this research was done in conditions similar to what you would experience with commuting on an ebike, and the participants all experienced surprising benefits. Even when using high levels of assistance, they still used their cardiovascular systems at levels close to those of people on regular bikes. They also experienced significant improvements in fitness and health.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cycling-to-work-is-much-more-possible-with-an-ebike\">Cycling to Work is Much More Possible with an Ebike<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The researchers in one study made the point that ebikes make cycling to work more feasible. This is because they shorten traveling time by about 30% over regular bikes. They also reduce the physical and psychological barriers by &#8220;flattening out the hills&#8221; (source: <a href=\"http:\/\/sciencenordic.com\/e-cycling-good-exercise\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ScienceNordic<\/a>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to scrap your car and cycle everywhere. And you certainly don&#8217;t need to suddenly start cycling to work every day. You could start off by using an electric bike for <strong>just some<\/strong> of your transportation needs.

So, I had to find a way to make up the lost hours of cycling. But if I step outside my front door, there are steep hills in every direction. Some of these hills are <em>so steep<\/em> they have been used in action movies featuring runaway cars and bikes, including Stephen King&#8217;s <em>It<\/em>). This means I cannot use my regular <a href=\"http:\/\/ow.ly\/6jip309FLFQ\">Specialized Tricross bike<\/a> to get a cycling workout in my neighborhood. I just <em>cannot<\/em> get up those hills.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But I have a solution for that! I can use my Haibike electric bike to get up those hills and ride to a more suitable training location. After cycling uphill for about 2 miles, with assist, I reach a place where there is a long road that is reasonably flat. There, I can switch off all assistance. Then, I spend about 30 minutes to an hour working really hard to cycle with my 50-pound bike. That done, I can coast home downhill. The ride there with assist makes a good warmup. The cycling without any assist on a heavy bike gives me an awesome workout that builds up my lungs and my legs. And the coasting home is an enjoyable chance to cool down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Basically, my ebike enables me to get to a suitable bike training location, without having to load my bike onto a car or transit. Which makes me much more likely to do it, because it&#8217;s a lot less hassle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-post-9-tips-for-a-family-bike-tour\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/tips-family-bike-tour\/\">Related Post: 9 Tips for a Family Bike Tour<\/a><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-another-way-to-get-fit-with-an-ebike-go-on-a-cycling-vacation\">#3: Another Way to Get Fit with an Ebike &#8211; Go on a Cycling Vacation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"custom-post-excerpt\">Electric bikes offer a terrific way to go bike touring. I have not tried this yet myself, but I know of a couple who did. Gary Corbett and Rachel Kuiper-Corbett are an Australian couple who set out to cycle across Europe on ebikes. You can read their inspiring story on their website, <a href=\"http:\/\/ebikecycletourists.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ebike Cycle Tourists<\/a>.

Rachel was recovering from a severe case of acute reactive arthritis. She also had two perforated disks in her lower back. They were not totally confident they could do it. However, they ended up cycling about 43 miles per day, for a total of 17,274 miles. Along the way, they inspired thousands of people around the world. They note that:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-an-ebike-provides-a-more-body-friendly-total-workout\">An Ebike Provides a More Body Friendly Total Workout<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center custom-post-excerpt\">&#8220;An e-bike actually provides a <strong>more \u2018body friendly\u2019 total workout<\/strong> than that available on a traditional non-electric bicycle. Not only can greater distances be covered in a shorter period of time, but the electrical boost on steep inclines <strong>takes the strain away from knee joints<\/strong> and it is easier to maintain a consistent heart rate over all types of terrain.&#8221; (Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/ebikecycletourists.com\/the-importance-of-staying-fit-on-a-long-distance-e-bike-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">E-bike Cycle Tourists<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left custom-post-excerpt\">What I found most inspiring about their blog posts was hearing about how dramatically their health improved as they cycled on their ebikes. In particular, a year of constantly cycling on an ebike set Rachel free from years of pain. After one year, she wrote:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;I simply can\u2019t describe how happy I am that <strong>my body is finally pain free<\/strong> after a whole year of training and cycling.
