What are the advantages of riding a bike?
1. can prevent brain aging and improve the agility of nervous system. The research results of modern sports medicine show that cycling is a sport dominated by different sides, and alternating pedaling with two legs can develop the left and right brain functions at the same time to prevent premature aging and negligence.

2. It can improve the cardiopulmonary function, exercise the muscle strength of lower limbs and enhance the endurance of the whole body. Cycling exercise has the same effect on visceral endurance exercise as swimming and running. This exercise not only benefits 3 pairs of joints and 26 pairs of lower limb muscles, but also benefits the muscles of neck, back, arms, abdomen, waist, groin and buttocks. Joints and ligaments have also been exercised accordingly.

Bicycle is one of the best tools to overcome heart function problems. More than half of the people in the world die of heart disease. Riding a bicycle can not only compress the blood flow through the movement of the legs, but also draw the notes back to the heart from the vascular endings. In fact, it also strengthens microvascular tissue, which is called "collateral circulation". Strengthening blood vessels can protect you from the threat of age and keep you young forever.

In addition, habitual cycling can enlarge your mind. Otherwise, the blood vessels will become thinner and thinner, and the heart will deteriorate. In your later years, you will experience the troubles it brings, and then you will find how perfect riding is.

Cycling is a sport that needs a lot of oxygen. There was once an old man who finished riding 460 kilometers in six days. He said: "Old people should exercise at least three times a week to strengthen their hearts and restore normal function. You should let your heart beat violently, but not for long. In this way, it will be able to adapt to emergencies, such as catching up with a car or resisting difficulties. "

Cycling can also prevent high blood pressure, sometimes more effective than drugs. It can also prevent obesity and arteriosclerosis and make bones strong. Bicycle keeps you healthy without drugs, and it's harmless.

3. You can lose weight. When riding a bicycle, because of the periodic aerobic exercise, the exerciser consumes more calories, which can achieve significant weight loss effect.

Bicycle is a tool to lose weight. According to statistics, a person weighing 75 kilograms can lose half a kilogram by riding 73 miles at a speed of 9.5 miles per hour, but he must persevere every day.

Riding a bike can not only lose weight, but also make your figure more symmetrical and charming. People who lose weight through exercise, or people who diet while exercising, are in better shape and more attractive than those who only diet first. I don't know how to describe "more charming", but in fact, the strong muscles brought by exercise and the tiny ankles exercised by riding are much better than the haggard and bulging diet!

Proper exercise can secrete a hormone, which makes you feel happy and cheerful. According to experience, we know that cycling can produce this hormone.

Riding this two-wheeled bicycle by yourself will make you feel very free and carefree. It is not only a weight loss exercise, but also an exile of spiritual pleasure.

4. It can improve sexual function. Cycling for 4 ~ 5 kilometers every day can stimulate the secretion of estrogen or androgen, enhance sexual ability and contribute to the harmony of husband and wife's sexual life.

5. It can prolong life. According to the investigation and statistics of relevant international committees, among all kinds of occupations in the world, postmen have the longest life span, one of the reasons is that they often ride bicycles when delivering letters.

From birth to adulthood, people's muscles become thicker and stronger, reaching the peak during the age of 20 ~ 30. After that, with the increase of age, the muscles gradually became thinner and the strength gradually weakened. Among them, the muscles of the back, waist and lower limbs are obviously weakened with age, which is one of the reasons why people will hunchback, gait instability and fall easily when they enter old age. As the saying goes, "Old people get old first", which has scientific basis.

First of all, the lower limb muscles are much bigger than the upper limb muscles, and it takes a lot of exercise to maintain muscle strength. In daily life, the habit of riding instead of walking, walking less and exercising less is exposed in old age.

Secondly, the lower limbs are farther from the heart than the upper limbs. Because of gravity, the blood in lower limbs is more difficult to return to the heart than the blood in upper limbs. With the increase of age, the elasticity of blood vessel wall decreases, which is prone to poor blood circulation, making it difficult to eliminate fatigue of lower limbs. Third, the sense of the lower limbs is transmitted to the brain, and the accuracy and speed of the brain transmitting motor instructions to the lower limbs are reduced. Therefore, in order to ensure that people can walk steadily in old age, like the wind, it is necessary to strengthen the exercise of lower limb muscles and keep strong.

Besides walking, jogging, Tai Ji Chuan and other sports, cycling is a very good way to delay leg aging. Due to the special requirements of riding, the upper limbs and trunk mostly work statically, while the lower limbs mostly work dynamically. Long-term exercise can improve the strength and endurance of lower limb muscles. Due to the redistribution of blood during exercise, there is more blood supply to the lower limbs, and the change of heart rate varies according to the pedaling speed and the fluctuation of terrain. Repeated exercise like this can enhance the contractility of myocardium and increase the elasticity of blood vessel wall, which is beneficial to the blood circulation of lower limbs. The management of lower limbs by nervous system can also be coordinated and accurate due to exercise. Now, the emergence of bicycles with fixed resistance and power provides convenience and superior conditions for the majority of fitness enthusiasts. The exerciser can design an exercise plan before pedaling, and various information such as heart rate, speed, distance, time and oxygen consumption will be displayed on the screen when pedaling. These displayed test data are more convenient for exercisers to master and adjust their exercise intensity in time, so as to achieve the purpose of scientific fitness.

Cycling to keep fit will definitely delay the aging of legs and give you a healthy body.
