Compared with boys, we female riders will have a lot of "confused problems" when riding a bike. For example, there are doubts about whether riding will make the legs thicker, whether going out for riding will be tanned, and whether you can ride during menstruation. Let's uncover the answer behind it~

Will riding make your legs thicker?

The legs of aerobic riding will not become thicker. Through long-time and low-intensity trampling, the body can maintain a micro kick aerobic state, which can improve cardiopulmonary function and promote metabolism.

As long as each ride lasts for more than 30 minutes, it will start to achieve an effective fat burning effect, and the fat is systemic. It will not only thin legs because cycling mainly uses leg muscles, which is good for body shaping. Riding posture is very important. You must stretch after riding.

Will you get sunburned when you ride?

Don't be afraid of being tanned, but refuse to be sunburned. Take sunscreen measures. Chemical sunscreen and physical hard sunscreen are best arranged. Apply sunscreen before riding, and wear riding sleeves, leg covers and masks to protect against the sun.

What if physical strength is not as good as boys?

Don't worry about physical fitness and form good habits. Diet provides energy for the body, replenishes consumed energy and nutrition, and accelerates the recovery of the body. At ordinary times, you should pay attention to supplement vitamins and minerals, and eat some foods with high nutritional density, including vegetables, fruits and protein sources with low fat content, such as eggs, lean meat, chicken breast, dairy products, fish, beans, etc., with a small amount of nuts. Avoid deeply processed foods and adhere to a healthy, natural and green diet. In addition, pay attention to energy supply during long-distance riding. Adequate sleep can promote growth hormone secretion in the pituitary gland, so as to improve physical fitness.

Can you ride a bike during menstruation?

Compared with male riders, women will encounter a special difficulty when riding, that is, menstruation. During this period, women bear both physical and psychological pressure. Most women doubt whether they can ride during menstruation. In fact, menstruation can be "moderate" exercise, and the key lies in the way and intensity of exercise.

If your menstrual response is particularly strong on the first day, you need to rest for a day. If you don't exercise at all during the menstrual period, it is also inappropriate. An appropriate amount of exercise can promote the circulation of blood in the whole body and facilitate the elimination of congestion in the uterus. Please remember that it must be "an appropriate amount of mild riding" in advance. Usually, you are willing to gradually restore the usual riding intensity at the end of the menstrual period. You don't have to adjust your diet.

Reasonable rest is also an important part of cycling, especially for menstrual girls, it is not suitable to ride excessively. It is also good to rest for a few days!
