Bicyckling the most kindful excersice for your body

Now I have an excercise bike in my apartment and with this I can excercise when I want even if its bad wheather outside. When you cant ride a bike outdoors because of bad wheather, snowstorm, thunderstorms etc why not ride an indoor bike then and maybe watch TV at the same time, I dont think it doesent matter for your body if it is a real two-wheel bike or a recumbent indoor bike. Here are some benefits with pedaling.





Get pedaling—your body will thank you

Cycling is one of the easiest ways to exercise, and it can also help prevent diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and stress. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day—something that a daily bike ride to and from work can easily provide. And you don’t have to train like crazy or take up competitive cycling or long-distance races for it to be effective. Even everyday cycling at a moderate pace has a significant impact, and the direct health benefits are numerous.

1. Cycling Improves Fitness


Cycling is a gentle form of low-intensity exercise, and if you cycle regularly, it does wonders for your stamina and overall fitness.

2. Cycling is good for your heart


Your heart also benefits from regular exercise. Cycling causes the heart to pump oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, strengthening the heart. In this way, the exercise helps prevent cardiovascular disease. Research shows that the risk of a heart attack can be cut in half if you bike to work regularly instead of driving.

3. Cycling strengthens your lungs


The more your lungs have to work, the stronger they become—which in turn leads to better health.

4. Cycling is good for your knees and joints


Cycling is a form of exercise that’s very gentle on your knees and joints. Just make sure your bike is adjusted to your height.

5. Cycling Burns Calories


Cycling is also a great way to burn calories. You can burn upto 600 calories a day when cyckling. A woman who weighs 55 kg and cycles at a pace of about 10 km/h burns an average of 120 calories in half an hour. Cycling offers more than just health benefits. If you live in a big city, you can save a lot of time (and money too) by biking instead of taking the car. And, not least, you’re doing your part for the environment and your body when you choose a bike over a car.

Agreed I ride myself. I seldom have any trouble finding parking. I just park a mile or so from where I want to go if there's no parking and ride my bike in. I ride Death Valley national park sometimes. The most fun is riding at night on the Mojave desert when it's pitch black and you can see the stars. I turn off my head light and just ride along. There's no one out there to hit me with a car.

I used to ride my bike and I miss it a lot. Cycling at the time of sunset was my favourite. Sadly it got too dangerous, I have a paralysed foot and fell off the bike twice, afterwards I didn’t dare to try again. Now I’m going for walks instead. I need to be out in nature to feel happy.
