Nowadays, people's health awareness is gradually improving, and their requirements for their own body shape are getting higher and higher. Under such circumstances, any opportunity to lose weight should not be missed. So can riding a bike to and from get off work help you lose weight? Cycling is indeed a common way to lose weight, but there are also specific techniques that need to be mastered in order to truly achieve the effect of weight loss after long-term exercise. Intensive cycling method First, you need to start at 60% of your maximum speed for 5-7 minutes. Then use a heart rate monitor to observe your pulse per minute to keep it within the cardiopulmonary function training range. This will not only help you lose weight, but also achieve the effect of exercising your cardiovascular system. Core strength cycling method While riding a bicycle, the buttocks leave the seat, but the body does not stand up straight. At the same time, the core area (waist and abdomen) is used to control the body balance. Using this method, you can exercise the strength of your core muscles. Power Cycling Depending on the conditions, riding the bike with force, for example, adjusting the gear size when going uphill (limited to five-speed or ten-speed adjustable bikes), can improve the muscle strength or muscle endurance of the legs. Fat Loss Car Method Cycling at a moderate speed, generally for more than 40 minutes continuously without interruption, while paying attention to maintaining regular breathing, is very effective in reducing fat. Interval Cycling When cycling, first ride at a medium-slow speed for 1-2 minutes, then ride at 1.5-2 times the speed for 2 minutes, then ride at a medium-slow speed again, and then return to a fast speed. Alternating cycles of exercise like this can improve the trainee's ability to adapt to aerobic exercise. Note: The position of the seat. Stand on the ground, lift one foot, and make sure the height of your thigh when it is parallel to the ground is the same as the height of the seat. It is not recommended to ride a bicycle with a load (such as a backpack). Cycling exercise mainly requires duration. If you ride a bicycle with a load, it is likely to hurt your back and lumbar spine. When exercising, you should wear professional sports gloves. First, they can prevent you from slipping. Second, they can protect your hands from being scratched when you fall.
