Myth 1: The faster you ride, the better
The key to riding is to maintain the speed. Don't ride fast or slow. Some novice cyclists only pursue speed on the way. Speed does not determine the degree of your domineering riding. In fact, it does great harm to your body. It is suggested that beginners should find a suitable frequency during cycling and then increase the amount of exercise, so that cycling step by step can not only exercise, but also lose weight.
Generally speaking, the speed of ordinary mountain bikes should be maintained at about 20 kilometers per hour for long-distance riding under the conditions of normal physical strength and flat roads, and it can be accelerated to 25 kilometers per hour for those with good physical strength.
Myth 2: The longer you ride, the better
When riding a bike for the first time, don't take too long. Wait until your body adapts to the new distance. When cycling for a long time, pay attention to changing the riding posture to move the body's center of gravity.
Myth 3: pedal like crazy and neglect riding movements and postures
Don't pedal too hard and neglect your riding posture. The height of the bike should be adjusted to avoid contusion of the inner side of the thigh root and subcutaneous tissue. When pedaling a bicycle, the foot position must be appropriate and the force must be even, otherwise it will cause pain in the ankle and knee joints.
The body posture should be correct. The body should not be pressed too low when cycling, which will limit abdominal breathing, and abdominal breathing is conducive to reducing abdominal fat.
Aerobic exercise should not be less than three times a week, and each exercise should be more than 40 minutes, or more than 60 minutes. I don't have time to train on the riding platform at ordinary times. I benefit a lot from riding outdoors on weekends. I can keep fit for a period of time and improve my mental state.
Myth 4: Only focus on cycling and do not do other training
The body is a highly adaptable machine. You may consume 36-37 calories per kilometer when you just start riding. After a long ride, the body has become a perfect riding machine. The same speed and distance may be less than 36-37 calories. Sports should be diversified. Cycling can exercise lower limb muscle strength and enhance overall endurance, and make your body more symmetrical and charming. You can do some upper limb and waist training properly.
