If you already work out at home, you'll know the benefit of convenience when it comes to improving your fitness, but it's truly one of the underrated essentials. To get fitter, you have to be consistent, and few of us are likely to go out of our way to exercise. It's why a simple 10-minute indoor cycling workout works so well.

Compared to a treadmill, doing a cycling workout on a stationary bike puts less impact on the joints while offering strength and cardio benefits. It also takes up less space in your home, which is always an advantage.
