One of the biggest advantages of cycling is Cycling strengthens your heart muscles, lowers resting pulse and reduces blood fat levels. Research also shows that people who cycle to work have two to three times less exposure to pollution than car commuters, so their lung function is improved. but for anyone who needs a reason to get out on the bike here's a list of some of the biggest perks.
The bonuses to cycling - including physical health benefits of cycling, mental health benefits of cycling, and an almost guaranteed broadening of your social circle - are as numerous as the beautiful roads you can find.
1. CYCLING IMPROVES MENTAL WELL-BEING, There are so many ways that exercise can boost your mood: there's the basic release of adrenalin and endorphins, and the improved confidence that comes from achieving new things (such as completing a sportive or getting closer to that goal such as completing your first 100-mile ride).
2. STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BY CYCLING, Dr. David Nieman and his colleagues at Appalachian State University studied 1000 adults up to the age of 85. He found that exercise including cycling had huge benefits on the health of the upper respiratory system - thus reducing instances of the common cold. Professor Tim Noakes, of exercise and sports science at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, also tells us that mild exercise can improve our immune system by increasing production of essential proteins and waking up lazy white blood cells.
3. CYCLING CAN HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT, The simple equation, when it comes to weight loss, is 'calories out must exceed calories in'. So you need to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. Cycling burns calories: between 400 and 1000 an hour, depending on intensity and rider weight. Assuming you enjoy cycling, you'll be burning calories. And if you eat a healthy diet that creates a calorie deficit (one that is controlled and does not put you at risk of long-term health conditions, we stress) you should lose weight.
4. CYCLING BUILDS MUSCLE, The resistance element of cycling means that it doesn't just burn fat: it also builds muscle - particularly around the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves. Muscle is leaner than fat, and people with a higher percentage of muscle burn more calories even when sedentary.
To be clear - you won't end up with muscles like a track sprinter unless you invest a serious amount of time at the gym squat rack. You will develop a nice toned derriere.
