It's easy to find at the grocery store, and it's an immune-boosting basic. You'll get plenty of nutrients that protect your body from damage. It has vitamins A and C, and the antioxidant glutathione. Add to any dish or top with some low-fat cheese to round out a side dish.
The average adult who exercises for one hour by biking at a moderate pace burns 563 calories, more than double what the average person burns by walking briskly for one hour and about 50 percent more than walking briskly uphill. In addition, biking builds leg strength.
Biking is not an upper body work out. As a matter of fact: on longer treks I have found my arms getting rather numb. Riding a stationary bicycle that works both arms and legs simultaneously is an upper body workout. Riding a stationary bicycle that just peddles like your standard bicycle is not an upper body work out. Sorry....
