1. Cycling without warming up
Many cyclists are anxious to start cycling and neglect to warm up. This is not the right way to ride a bicycle. You should do some simple stretching and warm-up exercises before cycling to fully move your body so that your body will not be harmed. This is an important step to obtain the best results.
2. Cycling without a helmet
It is very sad to see too many cases of "safety accidents without helmets" in real life. You must wear a helmet when you ride out because it is directly related to your life safety. In addition, it is necessary to check your equipment, brakes, lighting, tire pressure, etc. before cycling.
3. Like cycling fast
The faster you ride, the longer you ride, the more aggressive and the faster you progress?Wrong! The most important thing about cycling is to maintain speed, avoid the phenomenon of fast and slow, vigorous, and desperate cycling, and not struggle to stop. Some beginner cyclists only pursue speed when cycling, and speed does not determine the degree of your domineering cycling, which is actually very harmful to your body. It is recommended that beginners should find the frequency that suits them during cycling and then increase the amount of exercise, so that gradual cycling not only exercises the body but also loses weight.
4. Ignore hydration
Many cyclists only replenish water when they feel thirsty during cycling, and they take a lot of mouthfuls, which is very convenient. Replenishing water should follow the principles of "small sips, many times and slow drinking" and "timely", and can't make big sips to ensure physical vitality. If you do not replenish water in time, your body's functions will decrease, and muscle contraction speed and blood flow speed will slow down, resulting in insufficient muscle energy and oxygen supply, reduced cycling efficiency, and cramps in severe cases.
5. Casual cycling posture
Do you have straight arms, locked elbows, and crushed wrists during cycling? Is it also a collapsed waist, a belly stiff, and a push-up? Or the seat cushion is high, the handlebar is low, and the center of gravity of the cycling posture is too forward! The foot is a little bit strange when stepping on it. The correct cycling posture is to lean forward slightly, straighten your arms, tighten your abdomen, and adopt abdominal breathing, with your legs parallel to the crossbeam of the bike, and keep your knees and hips in coordination. Pay attention to the cycling rhythm.
6. No simple repairs
During pleasant cycling, far away from home while enjoying the scenery and cycling pleasure along the way, suddenly the tires hissed and punctured…Although there are pumps and tire repair tools, they will not For tire repair, you can usually learn simple bicycle repair skills through some videos.
7. Cycling excessive
Young people are energetic, but they must also pay attention to the appropriate amount of cycling. Excessive cycling will cause excessive slack exercise, which can damage the body's immune function and affect health. This is because when people exercise vigorously, more hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol are produced in the body, which can cause a decline in their own immunity, dizziness, insufficient balance, and decreased brain response. After over-exercise, the heart becomes hypertrophied due to over-exercise, and the blood supply is often poor, which can easily cause malignant arrhythmia and cause sudden death.
8. Blindly imitating others
Don't just imitate the professional riders because they are handsome in the race. You must master your own rhythm during long-term exercise. You must not blindly follow for the sake of chasing. Remember to do what you can, there's no need to be more nice than wise. Perseverance is a good thing, but you must not ignore the load and endurance of your body.
9. Become a data slave
Many novices are always stuck on time, distance, speed, indulging in calories, etc., like to compare with others. But cycling is a kind of fun. If you keep looking at the data and forget to enjoy it, you may override and exhaust your body. Moreover, this is not the true essence of cycling.
10. Set in stone
Have you been cycling on a flat road? Are your cycling distance and rhythm the same every day? In fact, this way of cycling is easy to feel bored, and the effect of exercise is also average. A more correct and effective approach is to use a combination of climbing and flat terrain to moderately change the distance and rhythm of cycling. Have you been riding on a flat road?
