(How Do Your Muscles Work continued) Thousands of thin spaghetti-like fibers make up muscle tissue. These fibers receive messages from the brain, causing the fibers to contract. The main muscles at work in cycling are the quadriceps and hamstrings in the upper leg, and the gastrocnemius and soleus in the calf. These muscles contract in a sequence that creates the pedaling action. The quadriceps and hamstrings do most of the work when you ride a bicycle.
To use energy and substantially increase the use of fat and carbohydrate, you need to undertake exercise that uses the large muscles of your arms and legs, and to perform it for a prolonged duration. For example, walking, jogging, swimming, cycling or doing aerobics for 30 minutes or more.The biggest factor determining how many calories (that is, the amount of energy) you use during exercise is how much you do. Walking 3 km uses almost the same amount of energy as running 3 km.ogging for 30 minutes will use more energy than walking for 30 minutes, the primary reason being because you will travel a greater distance in 30 minutes of jogging than in 30 minutes of walking. Exercise intensity also influences the proportion of energy that you get from fat and carbohydrate.
