Thibodaux Regional adds stationary bikes – Houma Courier

By Garrett Ohlmeyer Staff Writer

The Fitness Center of Thibodaux Regional announced a new expanded cycling studio this week with 54stationary exercise bicycles for 14 classes.

The new bikes on the fourth floor are a part of a $400,000 reinvestment into equipment and technology into the wellness center, Greg Stock, CEO of Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, said in a video on Twitter.

Thebikes are easy for novices and experts to use, Stock said.

This area here is a really nice area for people to come into, Stock said. It has the feel that cyclists like where they are sort of close together on a journey. Theres a video that they play where they go up and down hills, so on and so forth to make it as real as possible.

Cycling gives similar benefits to riding a bicycle outside, including contributing to lower blood pressure, weight loss, increased joint mobility and improved heart health.

Chrisy Myhand, director of the wellness center, said she enjoys seeing people become healthier from cycling.

You really can lose weight, but more importantly, decrease stress and decrease blood pressure, Myhand said. Ive seen a lot of results of people getting off of their blood pressure meds just from cycling two or three times a week."

Myhand said cycling is a low impact type of cardio workout, so people with knee and hip injuries can exercise safely.

There are different types of cycling classes offered, including high-intensity workouts, lower-intensity workouts and some that combine cycling and other activitiessuch as yoga and core exercises.
