Cycling

​

Cycling is a great sport for improving your mood. Regular cyclists often talk about the “cycling uplift” as it pumps blood around your body at a greater rate which allows for the rapid spread of endorphins and other good substances like dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin around the body.

 

Cycling promotes positive mental health, improves self esteem, helps with depression, helps to lower anxiety and lower your stress levels. The nature of cycling has been shown to be one of the most effective activities for the head and heart

 

It can also helps improve sleep

​

Regular riding helps synchronise your circadian rhythm and can help to reduce levels of stress hormones that can make proper regenerative, deep sleep difficult.

 

Improves creative thinking

​

The regular, uniform movement of cycling has a relaxing effect on the brain, stabilizing both physical and mental function.

 

Cycling promotes new thought patterns that promote feelings of calm and wellbeing

It can be a great way to “zone out,” almost like a form of meditation as you focus on movement, rthym and breathing.
