Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your
strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only
advantage of cycling. As you are not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it's a good form of exercise for people
with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it's important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing
too much or too quickly can damage your muscles that are not used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up
cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his advice.
For the best result, you should go cycling at least twice a week. While cycling, you should get a little out of breath. Don't
worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is
simply not true; it just shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain, you should stop
and take a rest.
