Cycling

Cycling is an effective and enjoyable form of aerobic exercise.

Everyday cycling will keep you in good form and shape.

Not only reducing obesity, cycling can also reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Bicycling is better exercise for heart than walking and jogging. One can ride a bicycle at any time, anywhere and at low cost.

Best results are achieved when cyclists are breathing heavily, but not out of breath.It increases your daily caloric output because it requires energy to move you and your bicycle against the resistance of air and gravity.

Around 20 minutes of cycling 5 times a week burns off around 15 pounds ( 7 Kgs. approx.) of fat in a year. The amount of calories burned can even go higher when you increase the intensity of cycling.

No need to carry a guilt in heart after eating a chocolate bar or having a couple of drinks, an hour of cycling can burn 300 calories for you :)

For some reason if outdoor cycling is not possible indoor cycling is the option for you. It has almost all the benefits of normal cycling plus you don't have to spend for a helmet :) . For those who don't know riding, indoor cycling is a great solution. It is a great workout for people of all ages, even older adults with joint problems.

The ones with heart disease or other health problems should consult their doctor before starting.

This aerobic form of exercise is a fuel-efficient way to get around and very cost effective. That is why the bicycle is such a popular form of transport throughout the world.

Cycling, the researchers behind the study concluded, is 'one of the few physical activities which can be undertaken by the majority of the population as part of a daily routine'
