How Bike Riding Can Elevate Wrestler Performance

By Rob Sutter


Bike riding is, at least in my mind, one of the best forms of exercise to get into because it's so accessible. I think that most people are going to have an easier time traveling on such a vehicle than they ever will going about free weights. Professional wrestling is a spectacle of which I am a big fan and, as a fan, I oftentimes go about seeing various performers and how they function in the ring. I believe that cycling can help to better condition a good number of these performers.

I think the worst case offenders here are the part-time workers who come about for the sake of heightening the ratings. You have such people as The Rock, Triple H, and Brock Lesnar who come in to only work a few specific dates throughout the year and I have to wonder why this is when a number of them cannot perform that well. Lesnar does well enough on his own, considering that he's a former UFC Heavyweight Champion. However, men like Triple H and the Rock have been out of action for a while and their performances suffer.

If you think that every full time performer is going to operate well in the ring, I'd like to direct your attention to Ryback. On the surface, he's a large man with muscles upon muscles but that's just the shell. Even though he's a powerhouse, he oftentimes becomes tired during matches and his bouts have been kept at minimums for a number of reasons. It's clear that he's not quite as conditioned as a number of other stars and he needed to spend more time becoming better honed.

There is a certain degree of shape that wrestlers have to stay in or else they aren't going to be able to compete at the degrees which fans desire them to. Bike riding is just one exercise, of course, but it's easily one of the most helpful if you're talking about helping the heart. In fact, the entire body can become better toned thanks to this activity, which is why a good number of people have taken it up. Companies such as Linus Bike know that there are physical benefits to cycling and make certain to highlight them.

I think that today's wrestling scene should have a mixture of appearances and talent without one aspect overpowering the other. While the idea sounds obvious, it seems like WWE has a difficult time grasping it. It doesn't matter how good someone looks on television if they aren't able to bring anything substantial to the table, or the canvas as the case may be. Bike riding stands as a viable type of exercise in order to improve overall performance for those who work within the ring.
