Many people think about the best way to get to work.

Let's figure out what is best to choose in order to get to work.

Bicycle or walking: what to choose

In fact, both methods are beneficial to the body. However, it is believed that cycling is more beneficial.

Firstly, cycling has a positive effect on the legs, back and abdominal muscles, which are involved when pedaling.

At the same time, there is no increased load on the joints, which is important for people whose legs hurt from long walks or fast running.

Also, traveling by bike saves you a lot of time, since you get to work much faster than on foot.

Unlike walking, cycling actually helps burn calories and lose weight. But to see the same effect from walking, you will have to spend much more time and effort.
