Biking

I used to ride to and fro from school and now I have so much fun biking again. I love Biking. Yes, on Delhi roads (We do not have very nice biking trails here but there are few places where you can bike). I have invested in Trec Bike. It is a dream machine.

Bicycling offers efficient, low-impact exercise. Intensive bicycle workouts can be just as effective as running, without the knee pain. Biking at 15 miles per hour will burn calories at a rate of approximately 650 an hour. To lose a pound a week, you should bike four times a week. That may mean three workouts of 30 to 60 minutes each and one workout of one to two hours.

One of the other reasons why bicycling is a good exercise is that your body has several moving parts when you ride. Your legs are in motion as long as you pedal, and your arms are in motion every time you turn. They also burn calories from your muscles tensing up in order to keep your balance. If you bike up hills, your glute muscles do more work. As you challenge these various body parts, your heart rate increases with each pedal stroke.

Depending on your biking posture, you can focus strengthening certain body parts. Standing up as you pedal can put pressure on your lower legs, while leaning back a little bit can focus on the glutes. By keeping your hands closer to the middle of the handlebars and leaning forward, you can put weight pressure on your forearms.

In Delhi, there is a Biking club.
