The Revolution of Fitness: Honking by PassionCycles

Passion Cycles is the company which distributes Honking™ Incumbent cycles and administers the Honking classes and certification.

The most innovative fitness movement that torches calories, provides a tremendous cardiovascular workout, and creates a lean, toned body? It's time to get honking! Honking takes place on the newly developed Incumbent Cycle – a stationary bicycle used solely in the incumbent position(which protects joints and back from jolts and strain), while providing maximum muscle engagement, intense aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, and extreme calorie burn – the most effective workout possible in the shortest amount of time.

Honking classes at Passion For Fitness provide individuals with an innovative and effective way to exercise. The technology developed by Joe Ransom is revolutionary in its ability to offer an exercise modality that is intense while being low-impact. The joints are put under a great deal of stress on a daily basis, and exercise should provide an outlet to relieve that stress, not enhance it. Prolonged sitting and activities of daily living tend to strain the lower back, and supporting muscles also become weak. The incumbent cycle used in Honking classes places the individual in an upright position where the pelvis is neutral. This stance is natural and helps correct issues which may arise from prolonged sitting, and those with low back and hip pain find Honking classes to be the best form of exercise for them.

The neutral stance on the Honking bike is highly beneficial.

Healthy individuals of all ages benefit from and enjoy Honking because the neutral stance provides injury prevention, strengthens the entire body, and improves the cardiorespiratory system. It can be difficult to achieve an optimal cardiovascular workout without a great deal of impact and stress on the body, but Honking classes are changing this fact! It is possible on the incumbent bike to work at a vigorous exercise intensity, engaging the large musculature of the lower legs and the pelvis girdle. The core, shoulder girdle and back musculature are actively engaged maintain the upright position on the bike throughout the workout, improving upper-body muscle tone. Few exercises allow the muscle engagement that the Honking classes do, and the result is a full body strength and endurance workout. The incumbent cycle also affords the possibility of performing push-ups and changing hand positions to further engage the upper-body during the workout.

Passion for Fitness is not just a personal training studio, it is more than that.
