At our bike shop Ontario, we run into lots of people who are looking for a fun way to get into shape. Bicycling is an enjoyable and effective fitness activity. Studies have shown benefits of cycling include lower rates of heart disease, reduced blood pressure and cholesterol, and stress reduction.
Cycling may also be the exercise component of your weight loss plan, with great results. In order to get weight loss benefit from cycling, you will need to design your riding routine with that in mind.
Bicycling is low-impact fitness, and so is recommended for all body types, ages, and fitness levels. Many people who cannot run for exercise, can ride a bicycle easily and pleasurably.
If you are overweight, the non-weight bearing nature of cycling can mean greater stamina in your workout routine as compared to something like walking.
For those who's mobility is limited, cycling can offer freedom of movement, allowing people to enjoy moving at fast speeds and get an aerobic workout.
Cycling tones the stubborn areas of the body- butt, thighs, waist, and hips.
A professional bicycle retailer can help you maximize these benefits, by assisting you in finding the right bicycle for your body type and that it is fitted so you get the best exercise benefit.
