Maximum Metabolism
Reduced Exertion HIIT (REHIT) boosts your metabolic rate for hours. In fact, 66% of the calorie-burn will happen after your CAROL Bike workout.
New research by Western University Colorado shows you’ll burn more calories on a 15-minute CAROL Bike ride, than a 30-minute run.
This is because the short, maximum intensity sprints on CAROL Bike generate a significantly higher level of afterburn compared to conventional exercise. Scientists refer to this phenomenon as Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption, or EPOC.
The increased metabolic rate following a CAROL workout can last for up to three hours and accounts for up to 66% of the total calorie burn.
Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption
Most of the burn arrives after you stop
Scientists call the afterburn EPOC. Short maximum-intensity sprints generate significantly more of it than conventional exercise.

“Personalized, true REHIT performed on the CAROL Bike contributes to a significantly greater increased post-exercise metabolism when compared to more traditional moderate-intensity exercise.”
Discover how EPOC boosts your metabolic rate for hours after exercise on CAROL Bike.

The fat-loss edge over steady cardio is small. The afterburn is worth about 20 calories. The fitness gain is the prize.
Does Exercise Make You Hungrier? What the Evidence Says
Exercise raises how much you eat by about 100 calories a day. Intensity changes the hormone, not the plate.
