Is it better to ride a bike or walk? Why?
Walking and cycling are both healthy forms of exercise, but they have different effects on the body. Generally speaking, walking is good for digestion and cardiovascular system, and cycling is good for physical performance and weight loss and body shaping.

1. Heartbeat change: The heartbeat of cycling changes greatly, indicating that the amount of cycling exercise is relatively large. Although riding a bike feels relaxed, the amount of exercise can be achieved quickly.

2. Heat consumption: Although walking seems to consume more than twice as much heat as cycling, considering the time factor, the two are actually similar. The heat consumption of cycling is relatively easy, because the speed is fast and the wind is strong, and the body temperature is easy to drop, so you won't feel tired.

3. Health benefits: Walking is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of food, helpful to the cardiovascular system, and suitable for exercise after meals. Cycling can strengthen the muscles of thighs, intestines and waist (iliopsoas), which plays an important role in supporting weight and lifting feet. Intestinal psoas is very important for supporting the body. If you are weak, you can't stand for a long time, and you are easily ill in bed.

In a word, walking and cycling are both healthy forms of exercise, each with its own emphasis. Walking is better for digestion and cardiovascular system, while cycling is good for physical performance and weight loss and body shaping. You can choose the exercise mode that suits you according to your physical condition and needs.
