Our astronaut Sophie Adenot shared an image of her exercising with the caption:

One of my very first trainings on CEVIS, the International Space Station’s bike — and in microgravity, you don’t need a handlebar or a saddle! I love cycling, and exercising on board feels surprisingly grounding. It also gives me a real boost of energy!

CEVIS has been on the Station for more than 15 years and it is one of the three exercise devices we rely on to counter the effects of microgravity on our bodies. The other two are the treadmill and ARED, the equivalent of a weight-lifting machine. We train for about two hours every day following a personalised programme that keeps us fit and ready for every part of the mission.

Remember the E4D next‑generation device I trained on in January at the European Astronaut Centre? This European technology demonstration is scheduled to arrive at the Station in April!

French: Photo de l’un de mes premiers entraĂźnements sur CEVIS, le vĂ©lo de la Station spatiale internationale — en micropesanteur, pas besoin de guidon ni de selle ! Le vĂ©lo m’a toujours beaucoup plu, et je retrouve mes repĂšres en faisant du sport. En pleine forme !

CEVIS est Ă  bord de la Station depuis plus de quinze ans. C'est l'un des trois appareils d’exercice qui nous permettent de compenser les effets de la micropesanteur sur notre corps. Les deux autres sont T2, un tapis roulant, et ARED, qui s’apparente Ă  un appareil de musculation. Nous nous entraĂźnons une Ă  deux heures par jour en suivant un programme personnalisĂ© qui nous aide Ă  rester en forme et prĂȘts pour toutes les phases de la mission.

Vous vous souvenez de l’E4D ? C’est l’équipement de nouvelle gĂ©nĂ©ration sur lequel je me suis entraĂźnĂ©e en janvier au Centre europĂ©en des astronautes. Cette dĂ©monstration technologique europĂ©enne doit arriver Ă  bord de la Station en avril !
