Benefit of Regular Exercise | Benefits of Daily Exercise

The benefit of regular exercise comes in several folds; exercising makes you healthier, happier and able to manage your weight.

Regular moderate exercise makes you fitter,so you are stronger, leaner and more enduring. If you’ve ever wanted your body to look good, showing off some abs, a regular exercise program is just what you need.

Exercise reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and also certain cancers.

A key benefit of regular exercise, coupled with a healthy diet, is it can help you manage your weight better. A strong dose of willpower is often needed to change bad habits; but after you take the first step, managing your weight gets much easier. All you need is a bit of guidance.

Exercising often also reduces and prevents the development of diabetes - Diabetes and Exercise Expert Sheri Colberg answers a few questions on diabetic exercise here.

Exercise makes you happier. No really! The release of endorphins (your bodies “feel good” hormone) coupled with the increase in blood moving through your brain lifts your mood.

• Regular moderate exercise will benefit your health in many ways, both physically and mentally.

• Exercise helps you reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and cancer.

• Exercise helps you prevent and control diabetes.

• Exercise help you reduces your risk of bone and joint problems.

• Exercise helps you manage your weight.

• Exercise helps you feel happier.

• You need to do at least 30 minutes of light--moderate exercise each day

But anyone can say they’re exercising regularly – once every year is regular right? For you to really the most out of exercising, you should be exercising daily.

To incorporate the recommended 30-minutes of exercise daily (kids need at least an hour a day), you’re probably going to have to give up a whole load of your time.

Isn’t that just fantastic? You’ve gotten home from work each evening, and you have to do 30 minutes of sweat-inducing workout, or you have to get up early to exercise. For most people, exercise is an added extra – a bolt-on to an already hectic life.

So you don’t do it...

...And that makes sense. Humans aren’t perfect. But the health benefits of daily exercise are so important, it is difficult to ignore the dangers of not exercising – especially now you know them.

Electric Bicycle Exercise | Simply Easier and More Practical for Everyone

Electric Bicycle Exercise is simply easier, more practical - and importantly - more regular than "traditional" cycling

Electric bicycle exercise has the chance to save you money and help make you fitter – more so than ‘traditional’ bikes. Curiously, fitting a motor can help people get fitter, easier. Why?

Perhaps you’re one of those people who want to get fitter, to lose a few pounds and “live the healthy lifestyle” – but you simply don’t have the time. Next time you’re sat in the car, or on the train on the way to work, think. Could you be using this time more productively? Or healthily?

You’ve seen those commuters who cycle into work everyday, arriving sweaty and needing a change into more formal wear. For most people, its not particularly attractive nor practical.

The reason's simple. Brits are lazy! Even with the biggest and best government incentives, the vast majority of us aren’t particularly attracted to the idea of using bicycles to commute to work. Sure, they’re cheap and “green” – but not for everyone. We all 'politely decline'.

The strange thing is most people agree that cycling is a fantastic, affordable and environmentally-friendly way of getting from A to B; but the effort involved is a mile away from the comfort of your own car or a the sometimes convenient public transport system.

Cycling is often perceived as being hard work for little reward. You can’t cover as much distance partly because you don’t want to work hard all the way and arrive soaked in sweat.

Imagine if that psychological barrier were to be removed though. Would your attitudes towards cycling change? Would you consider travelling on a much more effort-free bike?

Electric bicycle exercise can deliver that freedom.

You can enjoy a little gentle exercise on your way to and from work to keep the pedals ticking over whilst the motor does the real legwork propelling you at a steady 15mph (faster than most cyclists).

That little bit of regular exercise from pedaling will raise your metabolism a little during the journey. That means your pulse and breathing rate go up a little. Overtime, you will feel much healthier and happier (even trimmer!) as your body reacts to the regular exercise pattern.

… And as an added bonus, you’ll be saving money, skipping the traffic jams and getting a little fresh air everyday. Sound good?

"And a little fresh air as an added bonus"

Purely because of the practicality, electric bikes are a surprising way to get a little bit more gentle exercise without going out of your way. No, it isn't some overnight weight loss technique - but it is an easy step towards sustained healthy living because:

Cycling isn’t weight bearing – unlike running – so its easy on your joints.Cycling is a form of aerobic exercise – you can raise and maintain your metabolism for a long period of time (that’s good for burning fat).Cycling is much cheaper than going to the gym - so you more money to spend elsewhere.Cycling is much cheaper than other forms of transport – so you even more money to spend elsewhere.Brits are prefer to use electric bikes than other kinds of bikes since we use them more often.

Of course, there are far more dedicated cyclists who use traditional bikes extensively and could end up doing less exercise if they had a motor to assist them – but they’d already be doing lots of cycling. They’re the lucky ones, because most people don’t.

If you’re like most people, electric bicycle exercise is the perfect solution for fitting an healthier lifestyle around your current busy schedule. But they have lots of other benefits you should know about too. What to Read Next?Return from Electric Bicycle Exercise to Electric Bikes Experts and read the full story

Make Exercise a Breeze

by Neil Cook
(Yorkshire UK )

“Make Exercise a Breeze”

The words my partner now uses to explain the benefits and enjoyment of these terrific inventions. It’s been over two years since we purchased our first electric bikes from Poweredbicycles, which were our first electric bikes.

The decision to buy from Powerbicycles was taken after a fair bit of research, traveling around and testing of the electric bikes available at the time. We didn’t have to use any real scientific evaluation to make the decision it was almost obvious to us when we had met Hamant and the team at their slightly confusing but thoroughly endearing, well stocked and welcoming shop in Long Eaton.

Hamant’s passion, knowledge and desire for his product was infectious, it left all the other retailers we had visited looking dull, uninviting and uninteresting. We had planned to spend an hour or so at the shop that first day, having arrived at 10:00am, traveling from North Yorkshire. We left seven hours later at 5:00pm!

Throughout the time, we never once felt pressured that we had to make a purchase, we were just given a step-by-step understanding of the technologies used in the production of the bikes, the history of the business and the choices available us.
We made endless, but vital trips to the ‘testing ground’, across the road with different styles of bicycles, not realising that we were being assessed by Hamant as to what we were really after, and what would be best for us.

Indeed, my partner, Sarah, was initially more concerned with the look of the bike. Her aspiration was that it had some real street cred, e.g a mountain bike look alike. All the time Hamant was getting to know her, and knew exactly what bike was best for her. How right he was, Sarah is so passionate about her bike, she rides most days and calls it “Lady Penelopy”. She wouldn’t change it for anything.

I didn’t really know what I wanted, but once I’d ridden the Mantra City, I was smitten, and I remain smitten to this day. It’s a wonderful bike, both on road and even some bridleways etc. We always take the bikes with us on our motorhome holidays, which we thoroughly enjoy. Everything that we told by Hamant about the bikes, their capabilities has proven to be totally correct.

After many years of heavy use, I feel we are in a worthy position to comment on this. I have been down to see Hamant several times over the past few years, and have always been made to feel very welcome. I have no concerns about recommending Poweredbicycles to anyone. My brother and his wife have recently also bought bikes from them, they too are totally happy with their bikes.

Best Time to Exercise -- And Why

When’s your best time to exercise? Experts reckon adults need around 30 minutes of exercise each day to be considered “healthy”. But finding 30 minutes in between work or school, commuting, eating, sleeping – oh, and relaxing at the end of the day – is tricky, isn’t it?

For most of us, we have to go ”out of our way” to fit exercise into our lives. In short, it’s an inconvenience.

The only solution is to build exercise into your current lifestyle, with as little interruption as possible. One practical idea is cycling for exercise to get to the shops, cycling to work, school or wherever – simply because its useful.

(You also save lots of money instead of driving a car, or using public transport - and its much quicker too).

However, even that isn’t the best time to exercise all the time. Who likes to turn up to work in a sweaty suit, even have to shower and change when you get to work?

The solution is electric bike exercise – not only will you arrive sweat-free, but you’re likely to become even fitter in the process. Electric bikes feature electric motors which assist your pedaling. If you like, you can let it take all the strain and carry you along at a swift 15mph (that’s quick in a city - especially if you’re used to the usual stop-start routine in heavy traffic!).

Funnily though, it’s a very peculiar sensation to be travelling on a bicycle which is whizzing along at 15mph, without pedaling. Perhaps it’s the way pedals never settle in a natural sitting position, or because you feel slightly less balanced or for whatever reason – you tend to keep pedaling, albeit gently.

The net effect of this is your metabolism is raised slightly; that means your heart rate increases, you breathe harder, more blood is being pumped around your body, endorphins (your bodies “feel good” drug) are released and believe it or not, you are exercising.

Cheating? Barely. It’s an entirely psychological thing – it’s all in the mind. Once you start exercising gently, you tend not to notice it. And over the course of a 10, 15 – even half hour commute each way you’ll be raising your metabolism. Discover how electric bike exercise is more likely to help you exercise than an ordinary bicycle (really).
