2 It strengthens your body's biggest muscles
In order to increase your fat-burning ability, you need to build lean muscle tissue in your body especially in your legs and glutes and Cycling does exactly that , it uses all the biggest muscles in your body, your quads, hamstrings, hip muscles and glutes.
3. It wont wear your joints out
Whether you are sweating in a Gym or lifting heavy weights at home, you are bound to strain your joints in some way or other. Fortunately, bicycling is a non-impact exercise means no jarring on your joints.
4 It trains your muscles to burn more fat
Cycling builds hundreds of thousands of capillaries in your legs so you can deliver more oxygen rich blood to your working muscles. When the fat burning furnaces in muscle cells get bigger they used the raised influx of oxygen to burn more fat and produce more energy.
5 It Increases your daily Calorie Burn
Cycling also increases your daily calorie burn while your are pedalling. Even at recreational pace of pedalling 13-15 miles per hour, one can burn 500 to 600 calories in one hour. An example here - an hour of walking burns just 150 to 250 calories, jogging burns between 350-450 calories. In simple calculation, if you ride a bicycle just an hour a day , you can burn upto 4000 calories in week.
