I'm Dr. Stephanie

My life's passion and mission is blending modern science with ancient wisdom to empower women's health and healing.

hey there

Wouldn’t it be amazing to have exercise equipment that saves you time, works with your hormones, and helps you achieve incredible health and fitness results? Enter CAROL Bike. Giving you the shortest, most effective workouts—backed by science.

All that’s required is 2×20-second sprints, 3x a week (no, really). It’s a moment of effort you can always master, helping you set a fitness habit that lasts. 

In this article, we’ll explore how CAROL Bike can help you burn fat and improve cardiovascular health—all in a fraction of the time and without the potential disruption of hormone levels that can happen when doing a high volume of intense cardio.

Maybe you can relate – you bang out 3-4 hot and sweaty cardio sessions a week that last 45 mins each…you feel like a hero, you’re high on adrenaline, and blood is pumping through your veins…you think “I DID IT!!”.  Then you get onto the scale and see that you’re nowhere closer to your goal.  In fact, you may find that week after week you’re just…stuck.  You feel defeated and like you’ve wasted a lot of precious time.  But there’s good news – there’s a BETTER way.

Scientifically proven REHIT workouts 

CAROL Bike was developed with leading exercise researchers to deliver the shortest, most effective workouts. The signature Reduced Exertion HIIT (REHIT) workout creates the most potent training stimulus with just 2×20-second sprints. It’s scientifically proven to deliver double the health and fitness benefits compared to regular cardio exercise in 90% less time. 

CAROL’s AI-personalization tailors the workout to you and helps you push to your limits during the sprints. Like in a ‘fight or flight’ situation, your muscles are forced to mobilize about 25-30% of muscular glycogen—your emergency energy reserve—releasing key signaling molecules (AMPK and PGC-1a), telling your body it must get fitter and stronger. 

You develop more mitochondria, your blood plasma volume increases, and your heart gets stronger. Resulting in increased aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

Unlocking metabolic health in minimal time 

Incorporating short sprints into your workout routine unlocks the power of metabolic flexibility, pushing your body into a metabolically healthy state – in other words, your body is able to take the food you are feeding it and better turn it into beneficial ENERGY.  CAROL Bike’s short, scientific REHIT rides challenge the traditional definition of “working out” and offer a unique approach to metabolic workouts. CAROL recommends doing 2-3 REHIT sessions per week to unlock those metabolic advantages efficiently. That’s just 15 minutes per week. 

AI-personalization makes CAROL Bike unique. The bike tailors the workout to you and helps you push to your limits during the sprints—it’s like having your own personal trainer right there with you, guiding you through every session.

Burn Calories Passively – The Magic of Afterburn

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 3 hours and accounts for up to 66% of the total calorie burn. Meaning you will continue to burn calories long after you’ve hopped off the bike – now THAT’S efficiency! 

Reduce Brain Fog and Mood Swings 

CAROL Bike goes beyond physical fitness—it prioritizes the health of your brain as well. The REHIT workouts stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), enhancing your brain’s vitality and resilience. This boost is particularly transformative for women over 45. As hormonal fluctuations can lead to feelings of depression and anxiety, a quick 5-minute session on the bike can shift your mood, ignite productivity, and keep you at the top of your game.  

Stop Spiking Your Cortisol, Create Balance and Tranquility

CAROL Bike also includes mindful breathing exercises during the warm-up, recovery, and cool-down phases of its workouts. By directing your focus to your breath and following recommended breathing patterns, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system, reinstating balance and tranquility. This powerful tool strengthens your nervous system and promotes overall well-being. It also means that with CAROL you experience a transient spike in cortisol rather than a prolonged one, unlike other high-intensity workouts. 

Customized Solutions for Women in Perimenopause and Menopause

CAROL Bike employs a distinctive set of algorithms known as cardiovascular optimization logic, which continuously tailors and refines workouts for maximum effectiveness. What’s even more exciting is that the bike is constantly evolving, with regular updates and fresh workout options being added. 

When it comes to women’s health, adapting workouts for those entering perimenopause and menopause is of utmost importance. And here’s where the real magic happens: CAROL Bike offers a solution specifically crafted for menopausal women, enabling you to achieve metabolic fitness in less time while fostering a healthier hormone balance.  

CAROL is constantly engaged in cutting-edge research and advancements to further refine the bike. They are delving into the impact of hormones on exercise and exploring the potential benefits it can bring to our lives. It’s an ongoing journey driven by the passion to empower women like us—and help us thrive.
