Joint-friendly - Health Benefit Of Cycling Workouts.
Cycling is low-impact, making it an effective workout that is easy on your joints. Cycling requires many of the same movements as running (and provides the same benefits) without the pounding and stress on your body. If you are like many individuals who do not enjoy running or crossfit style workouts because of knee or joint pain than cycling is for you. There is no jumping or pounding pavement involved with these programs and you still receive the same great benefits of those other workouts.
Cycling is less painful and less traumatic than the track, treadmill, stair stepper or elliptical machine and is often used as corrective exercise and rehabilitation training for those with stress injuries caused by running.
If you have arthritis and think you should pass on exercise, think again. With your doctor’s approval, cycling could be the key to lifting your energy level and your mood, as well as helping to protect your joints. When you cycle, you will be building up your leg muscles, and this helps support the knee joint. Stick to the seated and limited standing core movements. The jumps and some of the other more advanced movements can be tough on the knee joint.
Cycling improves strength, balance and coordination. It may also help to prevent falls and fractures. Riding a bike is an ideal form of exercise if you have osteoarthritis, because it is a low-impact exercise that places little stress on joints.
Cycling does not specifically help osteoporosis (bone-thinning disease) because it is not a weight-bearing exercise.
As Healthline points out, “A lifetime of walking, exercising, and moving takes a toll on your cartilage. The degeneration of cartilage can cause chronic inflammation in the joint.” Indoor cycling allows older adults to get a great heart workout without forcing them to exert too much pressure on fragile joints.

I bought this specifically for my Peloton bike! it fits perfectly and it feels great!
Fits peleton seat perfectly. A much needed extra bit of comfort, especially for longer rides. Very satisfied. Great quality
Really helps with cycling. Fits perfectly on Peleton. Pull it tight, knot it, and it doesn’t move around. Perfect.
The padded seat is perfect for my indoor bike. It is easy to position and easy to wash! I l highly recommend.
Wife wanted a bit of a softer seat for the Peloton. If fit like a glove does not move and wife is happy. Keep on riding...
Excellent cover, helps relieve some awkwardness and pain. A++++
I bought the seat cover for my son's bike. He loves the seat cover. Very comfortable.
Great fit for Peloton seat, and super comfy. Makes my rides so much more comfortable.
Bought this cover for our Peloton bike and it fits perfectly. Doesn't slide around while we ride and it's more comfortable than gel.
I wasn’t sure this would help on the peloton, but it did- a lot! So glad I decided to try it out.
The seat cover fits my Peloton bike perfectly and provides necessary cushion.
Got this for my Peloton bike...fits great and adds a layer of padding and comfort to the original seat which is pretty unforgiving.
I got a Peloton a week before Christmas and the seat was not comfortable. I saw someone recommend a Komfy seat on a riders group. It works great and has helped a lot!
This seat is very comfortable and so far it's working great!
I used it on my recent century ride and my butt was comfortable the entire ride.
Was looking for a little cushioning for my sit bones on my road bike saddle, and this did the trick. Fits snugly on the saddle, doesn't slip or move around. Seems to provide more cushioning that gel covers I've seen. Very happy, so far!
Received my Komfy premium seat cushion today and immediately put it on my Peleton bike. Best purchase I've made in a long time (besides the bike). Can't wait to ride tonight and now my parents to use my bike when they need as well! Thank you Komfy!
Great seat cover! If you ride you know how uncomfortable the seat can become especially on those long rides. This seat cover is perfect. Stays in place very comfortable! This is NOT one of those crappy gel seat covers. I highly recommend this seat cover!!!
I recently bought a spin bike and instantly realized I could not sustain with the hard seat. The Komfy gel seats makes a huge difference.
Awesome cover! Saved my tush from the Peloton seat. 😊
Very happy with this purchase, really helps with comfort.
Great fit on my new peloton. Would definitely recommend.
My bum is super comfy now while riding my bike.
Definitely makes the bike seat more comfortable! Doesn’t slip around too much and is washable. As advertised!
So Komfy
