Any of you into Cycling?

I cycle to work everyday..prob about 4/5 mile each way.

I go for it a bit on the way home as I sweat too much to do it on the way in...my lower back isnt brilliant so it's better for me than running. I think you can do pretty much the same type of stuff on a bike, you might just do the cycling for a bit longer...you can do the equivelant of sprints, hills everything and easier on the joints.

 

But harder on the prostate

Cycling is ok, you just have to spend more than 5 times the amount as you do running to get the benefit out of it. Don't forget your just sitting on your arse for 5 miles and your not burning as much fat off certain areas as you would running 5 miles, but again cycling is better than nothing i suppose.

If you have got problems with your joints then you should try running on the treadmill as it's 500% less impact than road running.

 

True, lol....but if you get you're bum out the saddle you're replicating the running / sprinting more.

It's my preferred mode of transport aswell though as it's quicker, healthier and environmently friendly! :good

 

Are you referring to the myth known as spot reduction?

rampant, if you're cycling that much per day you better make sure you're doing a hell of a lot of lower body stretching, particularly your hamstrings.

 

:deal

:huh

 

You know what i mean, I like to run and get my arse moving :bolt

 

You do know you cant target where you burn fat off right??? LOL credibility out the window kid


Apparently virus beat me too this i should have read the whole thread haha

 

Personally i would rather run than go on a bike as i get better results with my fitness etc.

And yeah fat will only burn off where it wants to my mistake as i have ALREADY stated.

As for credibility out of the window :huh Sorry i never knew this was a game of points scoring :-(

 

Hey you don't need to apologize for being ignorant its okay most people are

 

Who took the jam out of your doughnut?

 

Dont eat doughnuts brah they are bad for you

 

No wonder! It would probably take you an hour to burn off on your bike

That's why I like RUNNING

 

Yeah, my hamstrings are quite tight, I use one of them foam rollers quite regularly.

 

if your going up a lot of hills i think its brilliant for lower body strength. I live in north wales so will do 45 min an hour or so up and down hills. so suppose it is a bit longer than run, and i have no scientific **** to back this up, just i feel good of it. Doesn't sergio martinez do a lot of cycling?
