what if I told you that walking and biking are much healthier than running or boot camp?

Why walking and biking is so healthy

Exercise is good for the mind

A nice walk or bike ride outdoors is very healthy for your brain, according to research from the University of Mexico. Every time your feet touch the ground, your artery gets a boost and blood is pumped to your brain. Even a walk of a few minutes in this way improves circulation. This contributes to better memory and less risk of stroke. Who wouldn't want that? So take short walking or cycling breaks more often these days!

When you are in motion, the hormones serotonin and endorphins are produced in your body. These are the so-called happiness hormones. Not only do these sound extremely healthy, they are. The substances make you happy, joyful and give your body a relaxed feeling. Ever suffer from feelings of stress or depression? Exercise will help you become calmer. Not for nothing that walking, for example, is often used as a form of therapy. Whether it is about enjoying nature, burning calories or boosting your health; walking and cycling are both good options for this.

Hiking or biking?

Planning to work on that tight summer body? Hiking and biking are great calorie-burners. For example, a 5 km walk in an hour will quickly burn about 300 calories. Add an extra mile and you'll burn 350 calories, so speed makes all the difference!

That speed plays a role in the amount of calories burned is also the case with cycling. An average cycling speed is about 15 km per hour, which burns about 280 calories. Are you more of a speed demon and do you hit the 20 km per hour mark? Then that can already add up to 500 calories per hour! So when you pick up the speed, it turns out the bike wins out after all. But remember; every movement counts.

Both activities are also a good way to promote mental health. Cycling and walking can help improve your mood by helping yourself relax and organize your thoughts. Both activities can also help boost your energy levels and help you make better choices when it comes to diet and exercise.
