Walk and Bike to Work – A Brief, But Excellent, Cardio Workout!
There is no question that biking or walking to work in a good speed (no need to establish new records there) gives great cardio aerobic exercise, offering a variety of health rewards, including weight control, muscle toning, and lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure levels while reducing your risk of stroke, heart attack, and diabetes. But what if you want to add some resistance training? That’s right – biking and walking can be turned into weight-bearing exercise by targeting specific muscles. Here’s how.
Walking and cycling can provide a great cardio workout, but the real fat-burning benefit comes from using other muscles during the activity. By keeping your legs working and using other stabilizing muscles like the core, you can drastically increase your calorie burning potential by intensifying your workouts with resistance training. Biking and walking are great fat-burning activities, but they are not very efficient if you want to burn calories from fat. By targeting your hips, quads, and abs with resistance training, you can significantly increase your calorie burning potential by up to 500 calories!
So now you have a better idea about why cycling and walking to work are an excellent fat-burning exercise. What do you do next? Try combining these two fantastic forms of exercise by setting up a daily bike ride program. If you’re anything like me, you’re probably already familiar with the benefits of biking and walking to work, but you might be hesitant to add in a commute into your weekly exercise regimen. Well, I’ve found a really cool, simple way to integrate your bike ride into your workout routine, and I want to show you how in just a few moments.
