00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, cycling vs, running, which one is better for you.
00:15Running and cycling are popular exercises that offer great cardiovascular benefits and can be
00:19done outdoors. Choosing the best one for you depends on your fitness goals and personal
00:24preferences. 1. Cardiovascular health,
00:27both running and cycling strengthen your heart, helping it pump oxygen more efficiently.
00:31Vigorous exercise, whether running or cycling, should be limited to 60 minutes a day and 5
00:36days a week to avoid potential negative effects on your cardiovascular health.
00:402. Calorie burn, running typically burns more calories than cycling as it engages more muscles.
00:45However, cycling is gentler on your joints and can be done for longer periods,
00:49which might lead to more overall calorie burn. 3. Building muscle, cycling builds muscle in
00:54your legs due to the resistance of pedaling. Running doesn't build as much bulk but strengthens
00:59and tones muscles throughout your body. 4. Toning muscle, running may be better
01:03for toning muscles as it engages your whole body and burns more calories.
01:07Pair running with weight training and a proper diet for noticeable results.
01:115. Weight loss, both running and cycling can help with weight loss.
01:15Running burns more calories in shorter periods, while cycling can be sustained longer,
01:19potentially leading to greater calorie burn over time.
01:22In a study, both cycling and running suppressed appetite in young men,
01:25which is helpful to control cravings. 6. Other considerations,
01:30there are some other things to consider, such as.
01:32Cost, cycling requires a bike, helmet, and maintenance, making it more expensive than
01:37running. However, a good pair of running shoes is also an investment to protect your joints.
01:42Chronic conditions, cycling is easier on the joints but may aggravate lower back pain.
01:47Running has a higher risk of injury but might be safer for those with balance issues.
01:51Both cycling and running are excellent exercises. Choose the one that fits your lifestyle and keeps
01:56you motivated. Alternating between the two can offer varied benefits and prevent boredom.
02:00For specific goals like weight loss or muscle toning,
02:03consider consulting a trainer for a tailored exercise plan.
