Cycling is one of the best exercises that there are. Not only does it help to build muscles in your thighs1, but it also helps to raise your heart rate which means that you will burn plenty of calories which will all contribute to your weight loss.
If you take a moment to consider the world around you, then there must be places near where you live that are of stunning2 natural beauty that you could cycle around. When I started cycling, I only had to ride for ten minutes out of my house before I was in a place where you could hardly hear a car for miles around, and you could see the Welsh mountains on the horizon. I found that cycling is one of the most rewarding exercises because it allows you to go to places where you have never been before.
If you feel like it, you could even take your lunch with you and eat it half way through your journey. You should make sure that it is a healthy lunch though, otherwise you will find that you simply undo3 the hard work that you have done on your journey.
You don't even have to cycle every day to be able to feel the benefits from it. I cycle once every week, on a Sunday morning, and it takes me no more than two hours. During this time, you could burn a decent4 amount of calories which would certainly add to the amount that you've already burned during the course of the week. I always weigh in on a Monday morning, and I find that cycling on a Sunday really does help me with regards to getting ready for the next week ahead.
骑自行车就是一种最好的锻炼方式之一。它不仅有助于你增加肌肉,也有助于提升你的心率,这意味着你将燃烧更多的卡路里进而减轻你的体重。
如果你停下来花一点时间观察你周围的世界,那在你住的附近地区肯定有不为人知的美丽景观值得你去骑行。当我开始骑自行车时,我只在自家房子之前骑了十分钟,这之后我骑车到了一个你很难想象汽车要方圆数英里才能到的地方,在那里从地平线上可以看到威尔士山脉。我发现骑自行车是最有益的运动之一,因为你去可以到你从未去过的地方。
如果你有这样的感觉,你甚至可以带上午餐在你旅程的一半时候享用。当然应以健康食品为主,否则你会发现你只是徒劳一场而已。
你甚至每天都不必骑自行车。我每周骑一次,在星期天的早上,花费不超过两个多小时的时间即可完成。在此过程中,你会燃烧相当多的卡路里,这肯定会比你一周燃烧的量要多。我总是在星期一的早上称重,我发现在星期天骑自行车的真的对我下一周的生活起到帮助。
