What Muscles are toned during cycling?
Most people assume riding a bike as merely rotating the peddles to create movement. Basically, that is true, but there are other all sorts of forces in plays. Did you know the muscles that you use when cycling not include the leg muscles but also the upper body muscles? The following is the list of muscle that is used while cycling:
- Quadriceps muscles (your front of thighs)
- Gluteus Maximus (your buttocks)
- Hamstrings (rear of thigh)
- Calf muscles
- Dorsi-flexors of the foot
- Hip flexors
All these muscles work together in a series of contractions to cause the forward movement of the bike by pedaling.
