Individual cabin or group lesson?
Aquabiking is practiced either in an individual cabin or in group lessons in a swimming pool:
-
The single cabin : you pedal alone on a bike installed in a cabin and adjust the pedaling resistance yourself. This practice will suit you if you like to do sports alone and you are not necessarily looking to vary your positions.
- Group lessons : more stimulating, group aquabike sessions, with music, are supervised by a sports coach who is there to motivate and guide you. Prefer this practice if you want to alternate exercises and benefit from the expert advice of a coach.
