What Are the Negative Effects of Cycling for Women?
1. Riding too fast
The speed while cycling should not be too fast, as it can lead to adverse effects. If one starts riding too fast from the beginning, the body has not yet entered an aerobic state, and the fat has not yet started to burn, but one already feels tired and stops. This will make the legs thicker. Therefore, aerobic cycling is the correct method to avoid thickening of the legs.
2. Incorrect posture
Maintaining a good posture while cycling can keep the body healthier and enhance the exercise effect. Incorrect posture can increase the fatigue of cycling and make the legs thicker because most of the pressure during cycling falls on the legs, causing continuous leg movement and muscle formation.
3. Not doing cooldown exercises
After cycling, doing cooldown exercises can fully stretch the limbs, expand the muscles, and promote the excretion of lactic acid in the muscles. If cooldown exercises are not done, not only will the legs feel sore, but muscles are also prone to forming.
