It’s designed to help beginners overcome self-doubt and enjoy their fitness journey in a beautiful setting.” How does this series blend active movement and body positivity into its approach to fitness and well-being?

The goal is for our members to mentally disconnect from the outside world and feel positive as their body works towards achieving something great, especially while experiencing the beauty of Australia.” Lastly, can you share how filming in Australia contributed to the essence and energy of the workouts? JOHN: “Australia’s terrain is incredibly diverse, featuring isolated islands, pristine beaches, mountains, and city coastal rides. This variety makes the series unique. We’ve captured some of our favorite Australian locations to showcase their beauty, essence, and culture. The idea was to use these stunning backdrops as a distraction from the intensity of the workouts, making the series not just a physical, but also a mental achievement for our members.” Getting ready: Recommended series Before taking on the Australia Weight Loss Cycling Series, check out these other series to help you prep!

Shannon Cooper Q&A Shannon, how can iFIT members adapt these workouts to suit their personal weight loss goals? SHANNON: “Members can tailor these workouts to their fitness level and weight loss goals by adjusting the intensity of walking, jogging, or running. Incorporating intervals of higher intensity, like fast-paced walking, jogging, or running, lets members level up at their own pace. Focus on consistency and gradually increasing intensity for effective weight loss. Listen to your body and progress at a pace that aligns with your fitness level and goals.” ​​How does the Australian landscape enhance the overall workout experience? SHANNON: “Australia’s landscape, especially in Cairns and the Whitsundays, is beautiful and adds a unique touch to the series. The diverse terrains of Cairns’ lush rainforests and coastal trails make each workout an adventure. Meanwhile, the stunning beaches of the Whitsundays provide a picturesque backdrop. The stunning sights add to this journey of building physical, mental, and emotional strength.” Lastly, how did the Australian environment and experience influence your fitness journey?
