Cycling: Get Fit, Burn
Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning
Combined
A cycling workout is a good
way to improve fitness and burn stored fat. Cycling burns calories, and
- if combined with a calorie-controlled eating plan - will cause the body
to burn fat - including abdominal fat. In addition, cycling helps to develop
the leg and thigh muscles, so you get fit and reshape your body.
Cycling Improves Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of cycling
burns about 360 calories. In one year, this daily fitness routine burns
a total of 131,400 calories per year - about 38 pounds of stored body
fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percentage - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.
Cycling: Fat-Burning Health
Benefits
Because it helps to burn
body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like cycling) contributes to improved
health in several ways. It helps reduce stomach fat, associated with serious
illness; it assists weight control, thus maintaining healthy cholesterol
levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins the
happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further
boosted by a balanced eating-plan.
