If you like to run and cycle, you can get more variety in your exercise routine. I enjoy both activities, although I don’t go biking often. Yet, biking can have some of the same benefits as running and tends to have a lower impact on your joints.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When comparing running and cycling, the health benefits can be equally as good. You’re improving your overall health and leg muscle development. The differences relate to how runners and cyclists use their legs and bodies and what happens as a result. \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I definitely have more fun riding my mountain bike on a trail than running on a trail. There are pros and cons to both. Your opportunity to run or bike may be limited by circumstances, but doing both is one way to add variety to your exercise, which may decrease your likelihood of injury. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Running and Cycling Similarities and Differences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      When you run or cycle you are using your legs and core muscles but in different ways. The effects of running and cycling are different over several miles. One uses a machine to move, while the other relies mostly on their legs. If we compare the two activities we can see how similar and different they are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
