“Cycling works on ‘fast twitch muscle fibers’, says Krista Chichester, Cycle Chi’s owner. “Many parents know that cross training during the winter months is imperative to prevent injury, but some may not know how beneficial cycling can be for athletes and dancers alike.”

Cycling is a low-impact activity that builds endurance and speed with minimal risk of injury. This type of conditioning benefits stronger performance across all sports – football, soccer, lacrosse, swimming, basketball, tennis, cheerleading and dance.
