Cycling towards better health

-

WHETHER outdoor or indoor, cycling is a great cardio workout for all age groups and body types. It not only helps to burn calories and gives the heart a good workout but it also builds stamina.

Cycling is a low-impact exercise that works the legs while pumping the heart. Regular cycling also helps stimulate and improve the heart, lungs and circulatio­n, reducing risk of cardiovasc­ular diseases.

According to a study done, regular cycling can cut the risk of heart disease by a whopping 50%. Cardiovasc­ular diseases are responsibl­e for over 30% of the global deaths annually.
