The Positive Power of Pedaling [Infographic]

What is one thing you could do TODAY to change your health?

Be more physically active.

Many of you may not know my Finding Fit journey started on a bike.

Biking is a great way to incorporate more physical activity into your life. You can bike to get around town. Commute to work. Visit the grocery store. Biking is also a great way to get the whole family moving together.

Cycling is even a quick in to the ever expanding hipster culture sweeping across America. Skinny jeans and single speed bikes. I got the first this summer...halfway there.

Benefits of biking for exercise include:

• Burning approximately 300 calories/ hour
• Improving cardiovascular stamina
• Increasing muscle and strength in your legs
• Being a low impact form of exercise

Whether it is on the street, the trail, or in a spin class hop on and enjoy the positive power of pedaling. Check out this infographic about the power of pedaling in America.
