BIKE CAMP

BIKE CAMP

7th annual bike camp coming to Debra Stefan Fitness residence from Australia.

As Ben completes his seventh bike camp, he explains why.

“It simply works.”

His average stay is 4-6 weeks in residence to lose weight and increase fitness. Ben attends the bike camp at all different times of the year and calls it an “evergreen” program. It is effective any time or season. Now he can avoid the winters in Australia by coming to Southern Nevada during our summer.

People ask, “How can you operate a Southern Nevada bike camp outdoors in the summer?”

Summer in Southern Nevada is a favored time for outdoor fitness exercise at the bike camp.

Since it is daylight as early as 5:15 AM and a beautiful time of day, it is ideal for the morning biking. The air temperature stays tolerable until the late morning after guests have enjoyed multiple outdoor activities. Long days of summer make it possible to enjoy an evening outing because it gets dark close to 9 PM. Yoga to stretch and relax before retiring rounds out a perfect day of activities.

Regarding bike camp, Ben says, “Bicycling has proven quick improvements in both my fitness and weight loss.”

Low humidity makes warm days far more tolerable than you would expect. Bicycling creates air flow that serves as an evaporative cooling system with perspiration.

Not only is Nevada sunny 300 or more days a year, but flying insects are rare.  Guests can compare the insect-free outdoor fitness experience with options in Florida where the mosquitos and flying insects make outdoor recreation intolerable.

Early outdoor activities in a scenic environment erase winter blues and increase the mood. Exercise proves to be more effective than medications or counseling for low mood. Outdoor sunshine, birds singing and fragrant breezes of desert wildflowers are Mother Nature’s prescription. Outdoor biking also works as a natural antidepressant—boosting mood, energy, and clarity through sunlight, movement, and fresh air.

“The paved trail system in the Las Vegas valley surpasses any other in the country.

It offers a progression of mild to advanced challenges for all levels of cycling.” See and hear Ben’s intro on Debra’s client fitness biking testimonials. He is right, the area offers well-maintained, scenic bicycle paths.

For safety, the bike trail routes utilized at camp are dedicated to cyclist and pedestrian traffic only.

While many people have not bicycled in years, the skill is a bio-motor pattern etched at a young age. Therefore, it is given that it can come back naturally. Safety practices and proper use of bicycle gears introduce you to an outdoor adventure for both health and recreation. Outdoor recreation is the key to fitness and weight loss at Debra’s biking camp.

Each ride builds confidence through simple progressions you can repeat at home. Balance drills, efficient braking, and route awareness are introduced at a pace matched to your ability. These skills carry over into your daily life, giving you a safer and more enjoyable biking experience long after your retreat.
