We all start each day with responsibilities and thousands of commitments. So many things to do in just a few hours! That is why we will present you an effective way to fight the everyday stress, and it is to take your bike and ride it around.
Riding a bicycle is the kind of activity that once you start practicing, it’s very difficult to stop, because it doesn’t demand too much energy or a great performance. This is an important point, especially if we are new to it. You will find yourself doing aerobic exercises in a nice and simple way.
You may decide to start it as a great way to spend time with friends and family or solo, connecting with your being, or you could turn it into a routine, for a couple of hours a day. Maybe start cycling in a responsible and committed way, the truth is as you practice, in a short time you will be able to see and feel its benefits.
There are many advantages that make cycling a healthy, recreational or directed physical activity that allows you to lose weight. An hour on a bike can help burn around 500 calories and at the same time improve health in a fun and pleasant way that shows responsibility towards the environment.
We can start by the benefits that riding a bicycle generates in our body. Even though it seems to be such an easy activity, pedalling proportionally increases the cardiac rhythm, while decreasing the arterial pressure, reason why it acts as a cardiovascular exercise, allowing the heart to pump efficiently, reducing the possible risk of heart attacks by 50%.
Bad cholesterol will not be a problem, because when you ride a bike you can decrease it while increasing the levels of good cholesterol, so the functioning of the blood vessels will be activated, which minimizes the chances of calcification.
Also, this activity will help to strengthen the immune system. Riding a bike reduces the chances of getting certain infections, since as you exercise every part of the body, the movement increases the work of the extremities and thereby exercises your muscles without making you feel extremely tired or heavy.
When riding a bicycle, you move in an ecological way, and the environment appreciates that. You will be strengthening the muscles of your spine, specifically the lumbar area, as the position is slightly inclined on the handlebars, establishing a comfortable position that greatly benefits your back. There is no doubt that it is a healthy habit that will positively fill your life and that of those around you, because if you are healthy and happy your performance will be optimal in every facet of your life.
