Performing the same old cardio routine can get boring, so why not try something different, such as cycling. A great way to get some cardio done outdoors and enjoy some fresh air!
Bored of your usual treadmill or stair master in the gym?
Why not give outdoor cycling a go!?
Cycling is great for all ages. You can decide the pace and enjoy cycling on your own, with family or in cycling clubs.
Cycling is also a great sport for endurance as well as burning calories.
It is low impact, all the major muscle groups are used, and you can burn between 300-600 calories in approximately 30 minutes, sculpting your legs and butt at the same time.
Cycling is easy on the joints compared to jogging and works well when combined with other high impact work outs.
