The many benefits for the body
It's recommended that you exercise for between 30 and 45 minutes, but sometimes there just isn't enough time. Cycling to work or to the shops can help you achieve this goal.
Cycling every day strengthens the heart and keeps it young for longer. What's more, it's an excellent way of burning fat and calories while stimulating your leg muscles.
Cycling also improves endurance. All you need to do is extend your journeys or, for the more motivated, increase the difficulty of your routes. Finally, cycling boosts the immune system, helping to prevent illness. If you want to avoid colds, consider cycling.
Cycling to clear your mind
Cycling outdoors gives you a sense of well-being and freedom. It encourages the release of endorphins, natural anti-stress agents, giving you a feeling of well-being. What's more, cycling helps to reduce stress. Even a short journey can help you to clear your mind and return home more relaxed.
Finally, if motorists are cooperative, the experience is even more enjoyable. And as an added bonus, cycling guarantees you a better night's sleep. After all, what better way to fall into the arms of Morpheus than with a short bike ride?
