Cycling and running fitness
Winter is a season of energy storage, and the weight will rise sharply. And summer is the season of revealing meat, so it is imperative to lose weight. A friend asked me, which is the best way to lose weight, cycling or running? Talk to you today! First of all, let's learn how these two forms of exercise lose weight.

Running to lose weight requires a persistent process. We should stick to it for a long time. If we jog for an hour, we will consume 650 kilocalories. If we run faster, we will also consume 700 kilocalories. However, some people are eager to lose weight and think that running can better lose weight. In fact, when our energy consumption is similar, we can burn the body fat. Therefore, it is unscientific to advocate running to lose weight. Without the effect of losing weight, we are exhausted. You can lose weight by riding a bike. People can exercise the body's heat through periodic exercise, and the weight loss effect is obvious. But at the same exercise intensity, running is better than cycling to lose weight?

At the same training intensity, running consumes more calories and fat than cycling.

Some experts have done experiments. Under the same training intensity, running consumes 1000 calories per hour, while cycling consumes only 600 kilocalories per hour. The data comparison practice proves that it is not difficult to see that running is much better than cycling to lose weight.

2. Running can strengthen the body function more than riding a bike, thus increasing the speed of burning fat.

Running can not only lose weight, but also enhance human function, because the more we strengthen running, the better our health will be, and the more we run, the better the effect of losing weight will be, while cycling will not get better and better because of the improvement of physical function.

Running is aimed at the whole body, while cycling is only better for individual parts of the body.

Running is to exercise the muscles of the whole body to the maximum through the movement of all parts of the body, while riding only pays attention to the exercise of thigh muscles and hip muscles.

4. Running is pure aerobic exercise, and cycling is closer to anaerobic exercise.

When we ride a bicycle, the exercise point is generally in the lower limbs, which is close to anaerobic exercise and has less aerobic metabolism function, resulting in lower energy consumption than running and less fat consumption in the body.

In terms of safety, running is much safer than riding a bike.

We can adjust the running speed on the flat ground, but in the process of riding, there is danger ahead when accelerating, so we can't avoid it in time and fall easily. When you are familiar with the road conditions, you'd better do our cycling.

The best thing to lose weight is persistence. If all kinds of exercises are organically combined, the effect will be better!
