BUILDING STRENGTH IN YOUR MUSCLES

CYCLING IS A GREAT CARDIO WORKOUT, YES, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE A GREAT WAY TO INCREASE YOUR STRENGTH.

When you’re cycling with more resistance (higher Watts), you force your muscles to develop stronger. If you cycle daily, you’ll notice a difference in your quads, hamstrings, gluts and calves. Not only that, you may find that your back extensor muscles develop in strength too, and your triceps in your arms develop extra strength and definition. This is because your body uses a number of muscles to stay atop your bike, and constant cycling leads to the strengthening of your muscles

WEIGHT LOSS, CARDIOVASCUL AR AND HEALTH BENEFITS

Cycling is a high-intensity but low-impact exercise, allowing you to exercise for longer periods of time without worrying about the stress that it may put on your joints.

Because you are able to ride for a lot longer time (due to the low impact) than someone can typically run, you may find that you’re losing body fat and weight. It also allows you to lower your risk of chronic illnesses such as heart diseases, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes.
