8 Benefits of the Rogue Echo Bike
If you have ever had the pleasure of taking a Strength & Conditioning class at The House of Truth a.k.a. Strong Style MMA and Training Center, you would have experienced the Rogue Echo Bike. We call this the "Silent Killer". It's like getting into a fight without getting punched in the face. Below are a few benefits of our most effective cardio piece at Strong Style.
Benefit #1: Burn an Insane Amount Of Calories In A Short Period Of Time
We have seen record times from our athletes and members where some of them have burned 50 calories in under 1:30. If you are looking for the most “Bang for your buck”, give the Echo Bike a try on your next training session.
Benefit #2: Improves Lactate Threshold
Lactate Threshold is the maximum effort an individual can maintain for an extended period of time with minimal or no increase in lactate in the blood.
Benefit #3: It’s Relatively Quiet
One of the best features of the Echo Bike is that it runs on a belt and not a chain. You can run a large size class with much less noise than your standard spin bikes. Or if you are training at home, you won’t wake up your house with an intense bike workout.
Benefit #4: It Engages Your Whole Body
If you have ever completed a 20/10 Interval setting on the Echo Bike, you know how taxing it is on your upper and lower body. With max effort, you are feeling a simultaneous push/pull upper body workout and your quads will be on fire as well.
Benefit #5: Improves Aerobic Capacity
Aerobic Capacity is the measure of the ability of the heart and lungs to get oxygen to the muscles.
Benefit #6: This Is The Real Leg Day
You will never know a real leg workout until you superset your favorite leg exercise with the Rogue Echo Bike. Your body will hate you today but love you tomorrow (or hate you for the next 5 days).
Benefit #7: There Is Almost No Escape From The Pain
Whether you go slow to pace yourself, or go fast to get it over with, your total body will be constantly working. And usually begging to stop after just 3 minutes of moderate to high intensity.
Benefit #8: It Costs Less Than A Treadmill
When adding pieces to your home gym or fitness studio, adding the Rogue Echo Bike is an amazing value. It typically costs less than a third of your average treadmill, $200 less than a rower and takes up much less room. Not to mention, very little repairs (In two years we have had zero issues with our Echo Bikes).
Conclusion
If you are struggling to walk or run on the treadmill for 30 minutes, or just want a new way to kick your own ass, the Rogue Echo Bike is a perfect option. It’s older brother, The Assault Bike, is also another great option as well. Our athletes are known for their excellent conditioning. We always add this into our weekly training and classes!
