Cycling is a healthy lifestyle. What misunderstandings should cyclists avoid?

With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to fitness and health preservation in recent years, and cycling is one of the most popular ways. But most sports actually have some side effects, but as long as we avoid those so-called misunderstandings, the body can minimize the damage. Of course, cycling also has some common misunderstandings. The following small series summarizes three points for everyone.

First: The wrong riding posture will not only affect the exercise effect, but also hurt our bodies, especially our knees and waist. Most cyclists' wrong postures include legs curling outward, bending over and so on, which will damage your joints. The correct posture is to lean forward slightly and keep your arms straight. Some friends bend their arms to make the whole person lean forward excessively in order to be handsome. This is actually a very wrong action. In addition, the abdomen should be tightened as much as possible, and it is best to use abdominal breathing. The measurement of legs and cars should be kept parallel, and the knee joints should be coordinated. The most important thing is to keep a constant speed as much as possible when we ride, which is the same as when we run. Pay attention to the rhythm, don't slow down for a while, it will greatly reduce your riding effect.

Second: Action Most people think that riding is a very easy thing. Isn't it just pedaling with your feet and turning the wheels? But in fact, we often ignore the fact that riding * * * is composed of four movements, namely, stepping, pulling, lifting and pushing, and then doing these four movements continuously and endlessly. When we are familiar with this set of movements, we should find our own sense of rhythm, that is, the most comfortable speed for ourselves, and keep it as uniform as possible. After a period of time, if you want to speed up, you can raise it appropriately, but after raising it, you need to adapt to this speed again and finally stabilize.

Third: speed? Speed? Phoebe? Speed? When many friends first came into contact with cycling, they planned to ride for a long distance and time at one time without any foundation before, and even pursued speed and strength excessively during cycling, thus achieving the effect of exercising leg muscles. But in fact, the burden on the body is particularly heavy, especially on the knees, which is easy to cause water accumulation. In addition, although riding is mainly to exercise leg muscles, it is actually a kind of whole-body exercise, so don't ride for the sake of exercising muscles, it is putting the force in the wrong direction.

Beginners are advised to increase the amount of exercise after finding the right frequency, but everything should be moderate and can be adhered to every day, but the amount should not be too large each time. Ordinary people pedal 60-80 times per minute, and warm up before each ride. In fact, it can be done on bicycles. In other words, in the first 20 minutes, you can warm up in a high-frequency and low-speed way, that is, run a few more laps with less effort, which can be achieved by adjusting the gear of the bicycle.
