Not only is May officially National Bike Month, but this week is the official Bike to Work Week. How many of you chose to fit your workout in to your commute this week? In addition to being a fun activity that can take you back to your childhood, bicycling is also a greener means of travel, and is a great workout that offers a number of benefits to your health.
Biking is a great pick as a workout for just about anyone. All you need is a bike and a pair of sneakers. A fat reduction overview can help you construct a clear describe of what you require to focus on to carry out your fat burning purpose if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more advance stage of their weight loss program. Following are seven steps that can serve as guidelines for your special weight loss system. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not exactly the same thing. Many weight loss courses have misled people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by resulting in a person's body to reduce more muscle tissue and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. You can turn it into a competitive sport if you choose to get involved in racing, you can get involved in more difficult terrains by mountain biking, or you can go at your own pace on a leisurely ride through your own neighborhood. The intensity and duration is all up to you and what your goals are.
We all know that biking can build the muscles in your legs through pedaling, but the muscular benefits go beyond your legs. Cycling can increase the strength and muscle tone in your buttocks, hips, abdominals, back and arms. There is less risk of overuse injuries and muscle strain in cycling than in most other forms of exercise.
Biking also offers a great cardiovascular workout, and its easy to adjust the intensity based on your own comfort level. Cardiovascular exercise can aid in weight loss (cycling can burn up to 300 calories at a steady pace for one hour), reduce and help prevent high blood pressure and high cholesterol, reduce your risk of heart disease, and improve circulation.
Some other benefits to bicycling include:
- Increased bone density
- Increased metabolic rate after your ride
- Joint protection
- Increased stamina
- Reduced stress
