Open in MyoAmigo →

Primary muscles: Quadriceps

Secondary muscles: Calves, Glutes, Hamstrings, Shoulders

How to do it

1. Sit upright on the fan bike and set your feet on the pedals and hands on the moving handles.
2. Drive through your legs while pushing and pulling the handles so arms and legs work together.
3. Increase cadence to raise resistance — the harder you push, the more the fan resists.
4. Hold a steady effort for intervals or distance, keeping your torso braced and breathing controlled.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Air Bike (machine) from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
