Cycling is a good way to burn lots of calories. You can burn burn between 250 and 700 calories in an hour depending on the intensity of the exercise. Cycling can lower the risk of heart disease and reduce stress. Legs become bigger and stronger because they do most of the work. Calves and thighs become toned.

The Hearth Foundation recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity. If you think about it, 30 minutes is nothing compared to the benefits and fun that you’ll get when cycling. Just try it!!!
