The following is a comprehensive explanation:

Cycling is the second largest sport in Europe after football, and it is an aerobic exercise in which all muscles participate, among which leg muscles play a leading role, which has a good effect on improving human function, muscle group, fat loss and body shaping.

There are three kinds of common bicycles: public bicycles, mountain bikes and road bikes. Three kinds of bicycles can be distinguished by tire width, only the difference between speed and comfort. We can choose whichever suits us.

Fat reduction efficiency:

Take mountain bike as an example, the wind speed is light and the road surface is asphalt, and the pace is 20 km/h, so it can be used for leisure riding. 1 hour can ride 20 kilometers, consuming about 650 calories, 2 hours and 40 kilometers consuming heat 1300 calories, and so on.

Compared with the running exercise commonly used by dieters, under the same external environmental conditions, jogging at a pace of 7 minutes/km, 1 hour can run 8 kilometers, consuming about 1000 calories, 2 hours about 2000 calories, and so on.

We can see that the efficiency of reducing fat by cycling is half that of running, and running is obviously better than cycling to lose weight. There is no need to distinguish between good and bad. At this time, dieters need to make a choice. Cycling converts kinetic energy through bicycles, gaining several times the speed and consuming half the energy of running, so many dieters choose cycling.

Like all aerobic exercises, cycling consumes glycogen for 30 minutes, which means you have to persist for more than 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, fat and muscle participate in providing energy to achieve the purpose of reducing fat/weight, so time is very important.

Aerobic exercise is the key to losing weight. Even if you only ride for 40 minutes every day and consume 600 calories, you still have 18000 calories a month. Including water, fat and muscle, it can lose about 5 ~ 65,438+05 kg, which varies from person to person.

For reference only, my standard mountain horse party (riding a mountain bike on the road) has recently been changed to a road party, and I am 198kg fat. I went through four stages: walking-cycling-running-cycling. The diet is reasonable. My current weight is 128kg, which lasted for 1 1 month. Among them, running is indeed the most efficient. Therefore, after riding-running-riding, the heat consumption of riding sometimes approaches or even exceeds that of running, especially after riding for more than 4 hours, and the weight is obviously reduced, but the body does not feel any discomfort, so now I still insist on riding in this cold weather, and the rain has been delayed, and I have already ridden 400 kilometers 1 1 in the middle.
