Biking

Research shows that there are many benefits to biking. Biking is a low impact so it causes less strain and injuries than other exercises do.  Some other benefits include that it increases muscle strength and flexibility, improves joint mobility, decreases stress levels, strengthens bones, and reduces anxiety and depression. Biking is an easier exercise but can be made more difficult.

Water

In order to get the most out of these exercises, it is important to consume a lot of water. It is recommended to consume 2 liters of water a day. Drinking a lot of water can help with energy levels, brain function helps with mood, reduces headaches, and can help with weight loss.
