Hydrobikes: Eco-Friendly Fun & Fitness. Burn Calories Instead of Gas!
“According to Frank Katch, Professor of Exercise Science at the University of Massachusetts, & Victor Katchwater, Professor of Movement Science at the University of Michigan, moderate water cycling (about 60% maximum) burned an average of 546 calories per hour. The caloric burn is 8% greater than outdoor bicycling at a speed of 10-12 miles per hour.”
“You don’t have to be an Olympic athlete to reap the benefits of water cycling, recreational water cyclists burn as many calories as skaters, kayakers, high-impact aerobic participants, even joggers.” John Howard, Three time Olympian
