Cycling: Muscle and Fitness
Exercise to Get Fit and Build Muscles
Bicycling workouts are
good for resistance training, fitness and muscle toning. They help to
develop several muscles in the lower body region.
Cycling: Muscle Development
Bicycling workouts are
useful for bodybuilding and muscle-building, as they strengthen and develop
the hamstrings, quads, calf, hips, and bottom muscles. They specifically
work the biceps femoris, vastus latoralis and semimembranous muscles in
the hamstring; the vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis
and the rectus femoris in the quads; the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior
muscles in the calf; the hip flexor muscles, the iliacus and the psoas
major; and the gluteal muscles, including the gluteus maximus.
Bicycling: Fitness Benefits
Cycling routines help to build lean tissue, burn body fat and develop a flat stomach by toning the rectus abdominis. They also help to raise resting metabolism rate.
