The bicycle, in addition to being an effective means of transport, is used for recreation and sports.
You can ride at any time of the day, anywhere, alone or in the company of family or friends and all you need is a quality bike, appropriate footwear and comfortable clothes.
Simplicity, economy and ease of use of bicycles have made it popular all over the world.
There are many reasons why cycling is a good idea:
STRENGTHENING IMMUNITY
Immunity protects our body from infections and various systemic diseases. Studies show that moderate physical activity, such as cycling, strengthens the immunity that automatically makes us healthier .
It also increases cellular activity in the fight against tumor cells, which prevents the development of the disease.
MUSCLE STRENGTHENING
Cycling activates most of the muscles of the body.
The leg muscles work as we spin the pedals, the abdominal muscles and back muscles stabilize the body on the bike and silence external effects such as vibrations generated by riding, the muscles of the arms and shoulders support the body on the steering wheel.
All these moves train and strengthen the muscular system, making it stronger and thereby ensuring its effective functioning.
STRENGTHENING BONES
Exercising and working the entire skeletal system leads to its strengthening and increase in mobility. Cycling has a positive effect on bone density and strength.
In addition, the muscle system strengthened by regular cycling supports and protects the bone system.
PREVENTION OF PAIN IN THE SPINE AND BACK
While cycling, posture is optimal, and leg movement stimulates the lower back muscles where the most common spinal damage occurs. In this way, your spine strengthens and reduces the negative effects of external factors.
Cycling especially stimulates small muscles around the spine that are difficult to activate with other exercises, thereby reducing the incidence of pain and the possibility of spinal damage.
STRESS REDUCTION
Cycling has a rather relaxing effect thanks to uniform movements that stabilize the physical and psychological functions of the body.
It reduces anxiety, depression and other psychological problems and controls the hormonal balance of the body.
PREVENTING HEART AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
The heart is one of the most important organs for a healthy life, however physical inactivity can lead to damage.
Cycling is an ideal way to strengthen the heart, with less burdensome physical exertion.
REDUCING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Riding a moderate intensity bike can prevent the appearance or reduce already high blood pressure. It automatically reduces the likelihood of stroke and organ damage. Cycling reduces heart rate and regulates high blood pressure.
BOOSTING ENDURANCE
Cycling is a particularly good aeroban training because the body load is less than in other sports that require effort.
Better body endurance reduces fatigue and improves mood.
ACTIVITY THAT DOES NOT BURDEN THE BODY
This does not burden our joints because our body weight is evenly distributed throughout the bike.
You can choose the intensity of the exercise yourself, which makes cycling suitable for people of all ages and fitness.
GUARDS THE PLANET
Replacing cars with bicycles reduces greenhouse gas emissions, reduces road maintenance costs because bicycles are negligible damage to roads.
Cycling 25 minutes a day instead of driving a car reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 165 kg per year.
