Found an interesting article/infographic to share.

"Cycling has long been a great alternative for those looking to get fit without the joint pain that can come from higher-impact form of cardio such as running or walking. Depending on speed, cycling can be one of the fastest calorie-burning exercises, even at a relatively easy pace."

"Because it is low impact, cycling is a sport that can be enjoyed for decades. It protects the heart by lowering blood pressure, and can ramp up the metabolism. Cycling can improve memory and cognitive functions and research shows that regular cycling can lead to a longer life span."

"Cycling primarily works the lower half of the body, specifically in the upper leg and the calf. Because of this, it's a smart idea to combine your cycling workout with some upper body strength training."

So don't forget to work your upper body if you want to be fit through out for this cycling season.
