7 REASONS TO GET ON A BIKE☝️
1. CYCLING ENHANCES MENTAL WELL-BEING
According to a YMCA study, people who lead physically active lives have a 32% higher level of happiness than inactive people.
Cycling combines physical activity with being outside and discovering new sights 🤗😊
2. CYCLING INCREASES BRAIN POWER
According to a 2013 study, cyclists' blood flow in the brain is increased by 28% during exercise, and up to 70% in specific areas. Improved blood flow is beneficial because the red stuff in your body transports all sorts of nutrients that keep us healthy 🧐🧠
3. CYCLING CAN HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
This is especially important during the global Covid-19 pandemic 🤧
4. CYCLING AIDS WEIGHT LOSS AND MUSCLE BUILDING
Cycling burns calories at a rate ranging from 400 to 1000 per hour, depending on the intensity and rider weight. It also helps to build muscle, especially in the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves. Muscle is leaner than fat, and people who have a higher proportion of muscle burn more calories even when they are sedentary💪🦵
5. AFTER CYCLING, YOU CAN ENJOY SECOND BREAKFASTS
If you decide to ride your bike to work, you'll have a great excuse to include a couple of guilt-free snacks in your day😋
6. CYCLING ENHANCES YOUR S*X LIFE
Cycling strengthens some very important muscle groups. Dr. Matthew Forsyth, a urologist and avid cyclist from Portland said that all of the muscles worked on the bike are used during in*******se. The longer and more athletic the in*******se, the better developed these muscles😉
7. CYCLISTS GET BETTER SLEEP
It's probably not rocket science that riding your bike will help you sleep better. Looking for reasons for the link, researchers hypothesized that it could be a reduction in anxiety caused by exercise, which improves sleep quality. Exercise also helps to prevent weight gain as we age, which is another cause of sleep problems😴🌚
