Whether walking or biking is better for your overall health depends on many factors. For example, if you need to travel long distances and/or in bad weather conditions, walking might be your best option, as cycling can be unsafe and take longer than walking.
On the other hand, biking is a great cardiovascular exercise that strengthens your leg muscles and helps you burn calories faster than walking. The amount of calories burned when you bike depends on how fast you ride, your body weight and the intensity of your workout. For instance, a 155-pound person who bikes vigorously for 30 minutes burns more calories than a person of the same weight who walks at 3.5 mph.
In addition to the leg muscles, cycling works your gluteal muscle (the largest muscle in your hip) and calf muscles. The calorie burn increases if you are biking uphill or on a hilly terrain.
Another factor to consider is the availability of safe biking routes. It’s a good idea to plan your route ahead of time and estimate how long it will take you to reach your destination, as well as to wear proper safety gear when biking. Also, remember to always be aware of your surroundings, follow traffic rules and respect other people’s safety. If you want to get into cycling, consider talking to a personal trainer to learn more about how to safely practice this activity. He or she can help you find a suitable bike and teach you how to use it properly.
