But you shouldn't pedal hard at night, close to bedtime. The reason for this is that activity makes your body and mind agitated, making it difficult for you to fall asleep easily.

Therefore, always prefer to practice the activity in the morning, so that when night falls, the effects on your sleep will be well perceived.

WELL-BEING

Pedaling increases the release of endorphins and serotonins, substances that cause sensation and pleasure. No matter where you pedal, the feeling of well-being will always accompany you.

All physical exercises have the effect of increasing endorphins in the body, a neurotransmitter linked to the feeling of comfort and tranquility.



In cycling, this sensation gains even greater results, because the activity puts the practitioner in contact with nature, people and incredible moments.

BREATH

Cycling increases your breath, this is because cyclists sometimes take a lot of climbs and end up demanding a lot from their lungs, because pedaling requires a lot of oxygen and because of that your breathing will be very exercised. Over time, you'll have the stamina to handle long rides.

Also, with a higher heart rate, your lungs receive larger doses of air and thus withstand more intense activities.

REGULATES BLOOD PRESSURE

Your arteries and veins are toned, their contraction and relaxation are faster, which helps to lower blood pressure and your heart will benefit greatly from balanced pressure, requiring less effort to pump blood to the body.

BLOOD CIRCULATION

When you're cycling your body needs more oxygen to fuel it, so your heart will beat faster and your blood will run faster through your veins.

Your entire body will be supplied with lots of blood and oxygen, making your health and performance even better.

INCREASE STAMINA

One of the best benefits of cycling, for someone who loves this sport, is being able to pedal a lot without getting tired, but for that you need a lot of training and focus on eating.

Stamina is a person's ability to resist for a long period of activity, this is a benefit that comes with time and frequent practice of this sport.

SEX LIFE

Cycling greatly improves blood circulation, thus contributing to the vascularization of the sexual organs. So one of the benefits of riding a bike is to help the practitioner's sex life. This happens because blood circulates better through the body, in addition to physiological stimulation, it improves hormone production.

When they are regulated in the body, they help increase sexual appetite. How serotonin, known as the pleasure hormone, collaborates in turn to increase well-being.
