When it comes to exercise, your body doesn't care much about what you do, but it care a lot about how hard and how long you go at it.

Everything that gets you equally sweaty and winded for the same amount of time will have pretty much the same exercise effect.

Is riding a bike good for a leg muscle?

Kinda. Bike riding is more about stamina and endurance than sheer strength, so don't expect your muscles to grow that much from it. It's a good low-impact cardio exercise though.Only if you make an effort and are at least slightly out of breath but able to hold a conversation without difficulty. riding V slowly doesnt do much.


Does riding a bike improve running muscles?

Not that much. Cycling is softer on the body than running - less impact - so if you're hurting from running, switching to cycling will get you a possibility to maintain your general fitness level. But generally, to get better at running, you need to do more running.

How does the bike help your heart?

I ride my bike every day and it helps your heart by a chain, okay? The chain starts like this...You ride your bike.You lose weight.Your heart gets relaxed because it doesn't have to pump as much as it did when you weren't riding your bike because of the fat making it work harder to do actions. Simple as that.Actually, I think that any form of exercise makes your heart beat harder/faster, which is exercise for the heart, which makes it stronger.
