OK, so COVID-19 has been with us for a little while now… it’s been a crazy time for almost all of us mere mortals, but the one thing that has kept me sane is my indoor trainer. I’ve shut myself away for hourly sessions almost every day, and I feel so much the better for it! And heck, I’m sure my immune system has gotten a huge boost too!
Of course, you don’t always need your own dedicated space to set up a bike trainer, but if you ever needed a reason to get training – or for those of you just thinking about purchasing a trainer – COVID-19 has surely done enough damage across the planet to get even the laziest of you out there back in the saddle.

You probably already know the Coronavirus can do some serious damage to your body – unless you’ve been hiding away in that man cave for some time already – but getting that immune system back into shape is definitely a good thing, especially if you’re from one of the demographics at risk. And before I say anything more, I should point out that we are definitely not qualified medical professionals – you should browse on over to the official CDC site for more precise info.
Stressing about COVID-19 isn’t going to help you either – stress can weaken our immune system, with higher levels of cortisol and adrenaline known to have a terrible impact on our immune system. So instead of stressing, one of the very best ways to banish all that pent up tension is to exercise. And, of course, we can’t think of a better way of exercising than getting on your stationary bike stand!
