We have long known that bicycling can improve your heart health and strengthen muscles, but this form of exercise tends to do a lot more than that for older individuals.
According to an article in Bicycling magazine, a recent study shows that “when older adults cycle regularly, their happiness improves and they are better able to maintain their quality of life.”
Reflecting on the results of this study, a personal trainer noted that regular physical activity can help seniors maintain good health, improve their quality of life, and increase overall well-being. Additionally, bicycling can “enhance physical strength, flexibility, and endurance, making it easier to perform daily activities and maintain independence,” which are important as we age.
