In a previous article, we informed you about the health benefits of hiking<\/a>, for example, when you take the opportunity to do a section of the Tordera route. We do not want to miss the opportunity, although the benefits are very similar, to also inform you about the good practice that cycling while doing tourism involves. So we give you 10 reasons why you can take your bike and get healthy, while also discovering the territory.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The benefits of cycling are numerous, both for health in general, and for our body and mind. A good recommendation to start is to have a periodicity or routine when cycling, at least a couple of times a week for about 30 minutes approximately.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In general, cycling, in any of its modalities, helps us burn calories, improve aerobic capacity, lower stress and anxiety, and even helps us improve our memory or feel happier. So, if we haven’t convinced you to take your bike yet, here are 10 reasons that might help you:<\/p>\n

1 – Improvement of cardiovascular health:<\/strong> the use of a bicycle helps prevent cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, heart attacks, etc., as it is a very dynamic activity.<\/p>\n

2 – Contributes to calorie burning and preventing obesity: <\/strong>pedaling is an excellent practice for weight control since, for example, with a 30-minute ride at a leisurely pace, more than 100kcal are burned.<\/p>\n

3 – Improves respiratory capacity:<\/strong> cycling will make you notice an improvement in lung capacity and all the thoracic musculature.<\/p>\n

4 – Strengthens the immune system:<\/strong> the practice of physical exercise in general causes our defense system to activate naturally, which helps us a lot not to get sick.<\/p>\n

5 – Tones and strengthens the muscular system:<\/strong> any physical exercise will help you improve muscle mass, and in the case of the bicycle, it will bring you benefits, especially in glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, in addition to the lumbar area.<\/p>\n

6 – Improvement of elasticity:<\/strong> apart from an improvement in muscle tone, the bicycle helps us to have greater muscle and joint elasticity, both of ligaments, tendons, and joints in general.<\/p>\n

7 – Decrease in stress and anxiety levels:<\/strong> physical activity is a great ally to destress, as it generates endorphin and dopamine, hormones related to happiness and pleasure.<\/p>\n

8 – Improvement of cognitive performance:<\/strong> cycling also helps us to improve and optimally maintain our memory and the ability to plan and solve problems.<\/p>\n

9 – Improvement of concentration:<\/strong> riding a bicycle forces us to have balance and coordination, which means we need to stimulate parts of the brain in charge of attention and concentration.<\/p>\n

10 – Stimulation of creativity:<\/strong> finally, the fact that pedaling and riding a bicycle helps us feel better and happier opens the doors to new ways of seeing and interpreting things, stimulating our creativity.<\/p>\n
