How Bike Riding Can Elevate Wrestler Performance

By Rob Sutter


Bike riding is one of the most exhilarating exercises you can think of and it's accessible, to boot. Just about anyone can pick up a bicycle and start riding for great distances and it will serve as an excellent form of exercise as well. I am also someone who values professional wrestling highly and I have to wonder whether or not performance can be maintained thanks to this exercise. However, from what I've learned, maintenance is not only possible but improvement can come about as well.

The ones that I have to blame the most are the performers who come about because of a few specific dates throughout the year. Men like Brock Lesnar, Triple H and the Rock are ones that I refer to as part-timers who don't work nearly as much as those who are around throughout the year. While Lesnar's performances are good as a fighter, I cannot say the same about someone like the Rock. His work has suffered, mainly because he isn't quite as in wrestling shape as others.

However, I can't say that every person who operates within the ring is going to be a five star athlete. Ryback, for example, is perhaps the worst example of style over substance as he isn't exactly the performer who is in the best shape. Yes, his power is almost unmatched but to say that he is able to go about long matches would be something of a lie. Seeing as how this man becomes tired rather quickly, it's hard for me to become invested in the bouts he's part of.

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.
