Exercise benefits you in many ways. Cardiovascular exercise increases your endurance and the strength of your heart.  That is why elite athletes have low pulses because their hearts are stronger. \n\nAlso, strength training helps increase your insulin sensitivity which will reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.\n\nIt will decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and several other diseases. There are too many benefits to enumerate.

Any exercise makes you healthier as long as you are eating healthy and drinking plenty of water. There is no science just plain old fashion maths. Energy in needs to be less than energy out and hence you have weight loss. If you want to be healthy cardio activity is a great start. \n\nIt increases stamina, increases fitness levels, reduces body fat, leans muscules. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Even for the disabled, exercise is critical for maintaining function and mobility.  Exercise not only helps maintain muscles, but the endorphins that are released are a nice boost to metabolism and mood.  That means that excercise can be a great way to relieve stress and promote fitness.  It is important to build up to a regular level sensibly and to follow a regular schedule.  I like to think of it as a regular part of daily life.\n\nI think being as fit as you can also assists you to function mentally and physically at leisure activities more easily.\n\nFollowing a sensible diet will help control fat too.  It's not really more time consuming to cook from scratch than to go through fast food chains.  Next time you make yourself a sandwich, just pay attention to how long that took; did it take more time than to drive somewhere?  I'll bet that sandwich you made was healthier than what you'd get through drive-through.\n\nGood luck!

It most definitely does. Bike riding helps build your leg muscles especially the upper leg were the Hamstring is. The Hamstring is an important muscle for running. The calf will also develop, but those are not the only things that get better. The respiratory system also gets a great benefit from bike riding.

It surely works. But in order to get full benefit, you have to participate in aerobic exercise seriously by learning the proper way (like running, swimming, cycling)

many forms of exercise have benifits in helping those with Coranary artery disease, such as walking, swimming, bike riding, or other forms of aerobic activity. Strength training such as lifting weights or calithetics can also provide benifits though not as "heart spacific" as aerobic exercise.  If you have CAD or any reason to think you may, check with your doctor to see what your limits might be or the best exercise for you as an individual. No exercise alone can prevent or reverse coranary artery disease there are too many other factors involved, but it can help many people live a longer, better life.  Make sure you check with a medical professional regarding your health condition and any exercise paln you might decide to try!!

Mostly, cardiovascular improvement, but there are many other benefits.  \n\nLower body strengthening, balance, agility, are all improved.  Some people have experienced phenomenal weight loss.\n\nHere is my favorite cycling forum.  There are many friendly and knowledgeable women here.     Look under community.

The expression "use it or lose it" tells it all. It's true. If you don't use you body, you will surely lose it. Your muscles will become flabby and weak. Your heart and lungs won't function efficiently. And your joints will be stiff and easily injured. Inactivity is as much of a health risk as smoking! Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. It can also improve you appearance, delay the aging process, and reduce stress. So get up off your butt and move!
