The physiotherapist explains how cycling helps increase stamina and physical well-being
Nowadays it is common to find women who don’t really like going to the gym and who don’t have time to do this or other physical activities. However, considering the importance of exercising regularly, a good way to do this, which can be just as effective as spending a few hours in the gym a week, is by cycling.
Cycling helps people achieve well-being and health. Cycling is a very accessible sport and should not be seen as “a time for physical activity”. It can simply be inserted into your daily routine, in moments such as a trip to the supermarket or even to work (avoiding the stress of running into traffic), a walk in the park and even on the beach.
Female cyclists can count on benefits such as weight loss, stress reduction and improved physical condition. Below I will report some very interesting advantages for those who are thinking of starting to cycle.
