Can cycling take the place of running?

Cycling and running are aerobic exercises, both of which can achieve the goal of losing weight. The former is less boring and more fun, but it will be very tiring to step on the body for a long time, and most of the exercise on riding is the lower limbs, and the leg muscles will be fully exercised. The latter is relatively boring and needs endurance support. It takes at least 30 minutes to burn fat, but the method is simple and easy, and you can exercise all over your body, that is, running can reduce fat all over your body. These are the advantages and disadvantages of cycling and running to lose weight.

Bicycles are better.

Cycling is a very good aerobic exercise, which can not only exercise cardiopulmonary function, improve vital capacity and promote bone health, but also keep fit and exercise almost all muscle groups. The result of exercise is also related to the intensity of training. The more exercise, the better the effect. Riding a bike can exercise your arms. In particular, the triceps brachii can continuously provide upward support, and the deltoid muscles and pectoral muscles of the shoulder and back help support the weight of the upper body, which is equivalent to a push-up posture in the process of continuously supporting the body weight.

In addition, you can also exercise your shoulders, chest and latissimus dorsi. Cycling can also exercise gluteus maximus, lumbosacral muscles and thigh muscles, so don't worry that cycling will make thighs thicker and uglier, because cycling is not a heavy muscle training, so don't worry that cycling will make leg lines thicker.

Cycling and running are aerobic exercises, and long-term moderate exercise is good for your health.

However, the entry requirements for running are low, you need to buy a bicycle for riding, and running is easier to shape and can exercise your whole body muscles. It is suggested to choose an appropriate exercise mode according to your own conditions.

Cycling and running are both good exercises to lose weight. They exercise different muscle groups and can be used interchangeably. In the process of losing weight, we must first determine whether obesity has occurred. The standard of obesity is that 20% of the standard weight is obese, and more than 10% is overweight. The standard weight is calculated by subtracting 105 from the height, and the number is the standard weight.

When obesity occurs, whether riding a bike or running, you should stick to it for about 30 minutes every time and sweat slightly. At the same time, you should control your diet, reduce the intake of total calories, try not to eat some diets with high nutrition, high protein, high calorie and high salt, and eat more coarse grains and foods rich in dietary fiber, fruits and vegetables on the basis of a light diet, so as to control the total calories every day at a low level and increase exercise.
