However, as an exercise and fitness activity, there are scientific methods and requirements. With a temporary interest, buying a bicycle to exercise blindly will not only fail to achieve the fitness effect, but may damage your health.
Cycling posture and movements should be scientific. Many people think that cycling fitness is as casual as going out to ride a bike. In fact, this sport has strict regulatory requirements, especially for beginners' postures and movements. For example, the correct posture requires that the back of the body is straight, the body leans forward slightly, the arms are straight, the legs are parallel to the car beam, the abdomen is tightened, and abdominal breathing is adopted.
In riding, it is required that the sole of the foot is pressed down, and the calf is retracted to drive the pedal to lift at the lowest point, push forward at the highest point, and then press down, so as to coordinate the leg movements and play a better exercise role for the body.
When riding a bicycle, our legs are prone to abduction, bending, hunchback, chest breathing and other problems. Basically, we all step down and let the car go, which is not conducive to fitness and will also cause joint fatigue and injury. Therefore, it is best to find a coach to guide you at the beginning of cycling fitness.
Exercise by bike should be moderate. Cycling fitness is a self-control activity. At the beginning, people's exercise will be properly controlled and will not be too tired. However, after riding for a period of time, many people are easily influenced by emotions and speed up and ride for a long time.
When riding a bicycle, the joints of the limbs are most prone to fatigue and injury. If the speed or time is increased unilaterally, the joints of the human body will not feel abnormal at that time, but after a long time, the joints will be damaged, even deformed, and even accumulated water.
Therefore, riding fitness must master the amount of exercise according to your own situation, with the body sweating slightly and not feeling tired.
Safety protection when riding a bicycle is an outdoor sport. Its advantage is that it can breathe fresh air, and the scenery on the road can also play a role in regulating mood. Most fitness enthusiasts ride on the road, and the traffic situation on the road is complicated, which is easy to cause traffic accidents. Therefore, when riding a bicycle for fitness, we should pay attention to choosing a wide road with few cars and mastering the speed.
In addition, helmets, knee pads, elbow pads and other protective equipment are also essential, which can minimize the harm to the body in accidents.
