We modern people often work in offices and sit all day long, which is not good for our health. We still need to do proper physical exercise to ensure our health. Many people choose to use bicycles for exercise. But some people don’t quite understand the benefits of exercising on a bicycle. So what are the benefits of using a bike for exercise? Let’s see what the editor has to say. The advantage of cycling exercise is that there is no limit on time or speed. Riding a bicycle can not only help you lose weight, but also keep your body in shape. Since cycling is an exercise that requires a lot of oxygen, it can also strengthen heart function. It can also prevent high blood pressure, sometimes more effectively than medication. Riding a bicycle compresses blood vessels, which speeds up blood circulation and allows the brain to take in more oxygen. Combined with inhaling a lot of fresh air, you will feel your mind is clearer. Riding on the bike, you will feel very free and comfortable. It is no longer just a means of transportation, but also a way to please the soul. Benefits of Cycling 1. Fitness effect (1) It can prevent brain aging and improve the agility of the nervous system. The results of modern sports medicine research show that cycling is a heterolaterally dominated sport. Alternating pedaling with both legs can develop the functions of the left and right sides of the brain at the same time, preventing premature aging and neglect. (2) It can improve cardiopulmonary function, exercise lower limb muscle strength and enhance overall endurance. Cycling has the same endurance training effect on internal organs as swimming and running. This exercise not only benefits three pairs of joints and 26 pairs of muscles in the lower limbs: hip, knee, and ankle, but also works the muscles in the neck, back, arms, abdomen, waist, groin, and buttocks. The joints and ligaments also get corresponding exercise. (3) Can help lose weight. When riding a bicycle, due to the periodic aerobic exercise, the exerciser consumes more calories and can achieve significant weight loss effects. (4) Can improve sexual function. Cycling 4-5 kilometers every day can stimulate the secretion of estrogen or androgen in the human body, enhance sexual ability, and contribute to the harmony of sexual life between couples. · (5) It can prolong life. According to survey statistics from relevant international committees, postmen have the longest life expectancy among all kinds of people in different professions in the world. One of the reasons is that they often ride bicycles when delivering letters. 2. Cycling can not only help you lose weight, but also make your body more shapely and attractive. People who lose weight through exercise, or who exercise while dieting, have better and more attractive figures than those who only rely on dieting to lose weight. I don't know how to describe "more charming", but the fact is that the strong muscles brought by exercise and the slender ankles trained by cycling are much better looking than dieting that makes you haggard and veiny! Proper exercise can secrete a hormone that makes you cheerful and happy. From experience, we know that cycling can produce this hormone. 3. Bicycle is one of the best tools to overcome heart problems. More than half of the world's population dies from heart disease. Cycling not only compresses blood flow through leg movements and draws energy from the blood vessel ends back to the heart, but it actually strengthens the microvascular tissue at the same time. This is called "collateral circulation." Strengthening your blood vessels can protect you from the threats of aging and keep you forever young. 4. Habitual cycling exercise can expand your heart. Otherwise, your blood vessels will become thinner and your heart will degenerate. In your later years, you will experience the troubles it brings. Then you will find how perfect cycling is. Cycling is a sport that requires a lot of oxygen. Once an elderly man completed a 460-kilometer bicycle trip in 6 days. "Old people should exercise at least three times a week to strengthen their heart and restore its normal function," he said. "You want to make the heart beat vigorously, but not for too long. This way it will be able to adapt to emergency situations, such as catching a car or resisting difficulties." 5. Environmental protection. The air quality is getting worse and worse now. One of the important reasons is the large amount of exhaust emissions from cars. Riding a bicycle produces no exhaust at all, so it can make a contribution to our Blue Sky Project. 6. Safety. If you have a collision with someone while riding a bicycle, it's no big deal. A smile and a few words of apology can solve the problem, and the person is usually fine. But if you drive a car or a motorcycle, it's a big deal. Not only will the person be in trouble, but you don't know how much money it will cost to deal with it. 7. Simple. Cycling is a sport that does not require deliberate preparation like other sports. There is no limit on time, speed or place. Every non-motorized vehicle lane is a place for you to exercise freely. You can ride alone or with friends. You can carry a fishing rod or a painting board. You can visit friends or test your speed to complete the ten-kilometer race. 8. Save money. Use the money you spend on a car to buy N bicycles. Think about it, if you go downstairs to buy breakfast in the morning and find that your bicycle is missing, it’s okay, you can just go buy another one at noon. But if it’s a car, it probably won’t be that simple. After realizing the benefits of using bicycles for exercise, I hope that we can all use bicycles more often in our lives. Cycling exercise will not only bring certain benefits to the body, but also prevent a lot of pollution to the environment. In life, we should often go outdoors to engage in this kind of environmentally friendly, green and healthy exercise in order to better protect ourselves and Mother Earth. |
