00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.

00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.

00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, cycling vs, running, which one is better for you.

00:15Running and cycling are popular exercises that offer great cardiovascular benefits and can be

00:19done outdoors. Choosing the best one for you depends on your fitness goals and personal

00:24preferences. 1. Cardiovascular health,

00:27both running and cycling strengthen your heart, helping it pump oxygen more efficiently.

00:31Vigorous exercise, whether running or cycling, should be limited to 60 minutes a day and 5

00:36days a week to avoid potential negative effects on your cardiovascular health.

00:402. Calorie burn, running typically burns more calories than cycling as it engages more muscles.

00:45However, cycling is gentler on your joints and can be done for longer periods,

00:49which might lead to more overall calorie burn. 3. Building muscle, cycling builds muscle in

00:54your legs due to the resistance of pedaling. Running doesn't build as much bulk but strengthens

00:59and tones muscles throughout your body. 4. Toning muscle, running may be better

01:03for toning muscles as it engages your whole body and burns more calories.

01:07Pair running with weight training and a proper diet for noticeable results.

01:115. Weight loss, both running and cycling can help with weight loss.

01:15Running burns more calories in shorter periods, while cycling can be sustained longer,

01:19potentially leading to greater calorie burn over time.

01:22In a study, both cycling and running suppressed appetite in young men,

01:25which is helpful to control cravings. 6. Other considerations,

01:30there are some other things to consider, such as.

01:32Cost, cycling requires a bike, helmet, and maintenance, making it more expensive than

01:37running. However, a good pair of running shoes is also an investment to protect your joints.

01:42Chronic conditions, cycling is easier on the joints but may aggravate lower back pain.

01:47Running has a higher risk of injury but might be safer for those with balance issues.

01:51Both cycling and running are excellent exercises. Choose the one that fits your lifestyle and keeps

01:56you motivated. Alternating between the two can offer varied benefits and prevent boredom.

02:00For specific goals like weight loss or muscle toning,

02:03consider consulting a trainer for a tailored exercise plan.
