But what if I tell you there is a way you can get your daily dose of exercise while also moving from one point to another? I am talking about a two wheeled wonder that has the power to offer a wealth of health benefits both physically and mentally. I am talking about the Bicycle.
I want us to think of bicycle as a magic potion which we can make with our own leg power. So guys, here is a taste of the incredible things that happen when you decide to embrace cycling.
First off, cycling is one of the best cardiovascular workout around. It gets our heart pumping and helps to improve the health of our heart and lungs. Let's think of cycling as a love letter written to your heart. Now with every pedal stroke we take, it boosts out heart health and reduces the risk of any form of heart disease. Cycling is a low-impact exercise, and this means that it's gentle on our joints compared to running or other high-impact activities and this makes it accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels, from young kids just learning to ride, to older adults looking to stay active.
I want to state here that Cycling does more than just improvin the health of our heart and lungs. When we ride bicycle frequently, it helps us to shed unwanted pounds and subsequently helps us to maintain a healthy weight. The bicycle is a calorie-burning machine that has the ability to turn fats into dust just as it also have the ability to tone our muscles, especially the lower half of our body – our calves and thighs.
Whenever you are feeling so stressed or down, I want to advice that you ride a bicycle because research has shown that riding a bicycle can go a long wat to boost your mood booster. Whenever you are pedaling the bicycle, you are unknowingly releasing endorphins hormones which is that's secreted in our brains. This hormone has a way of always us feeling happy and positive.
Did you know cycling can actually improve your brain function? Research has shown that when you keep cycling regularly, your memory, focus and cognitive function will be improved. This proves that Cycling is a natural brain booster that will continue to keep your mind sharp at all times.
Research has shown that cars are one of the major contributors of pollution in the world. Now, if we decide to choose to ride a bicycle, we are not only doing our body a favor, rather, we are in a way also doing our part in an attempt to savage our environment.
So guys, what are you waiting for? Dust off that old bicycle of yours parked in the garage, pump the tires, and get ready to experience the wonders of bicycle. Trust me guys, cycling is a simple yet powerful way to invest in your health, happiness, and well-being. Always remember that the journey of a thousand miles begins with just a single stroke of pedal. Your heath matters alot.

I try to exercise as much as possible but many of the other exercises that I do seriously hurt my knees. Cycling does as well but it is much less pain and pressure than other things like running or playing football (which I also do but for a much less amount of time)
If the pain in cycling is lesser, then continue cycling but reduce how often you do it. I believe you will be fine with time. Thanks so much for your feedback
