Over the past couple of years, cycling has become more and more popular, and for a very good reason-It’s a great form of exercise. I have compiled a list of five benefits of cycling and why you should give it a try! **
It’s a full-body workout
Not only are you working on your legs and core but also your arms and glutes. Trust me-you can feel the effects of it after class.
Burns calories
An average 45-minute cycling class burns about 500 calories.
Decreases stress
While cycling, you are only focused on cycling because it’s a very intense workout that requires 100% of your energy. You will be less stressed because you won’t be thinking about other things.
Builds strength
As I said before cycling takes up a lot of energy and doing it will build up muscle in your legs and abs.
Being apart of a team
Grab a couple of your friends and go to a class. Working out with friends pushes you harder, while also encouraging you.
