  • Medically reviewed by Mallory Christopherson, DC Both cycling and walking are excellent, relatively convenient forms of aerobic exercise. While both burn calories, bicycling typically burns more calories than walking when both are done on flat ground.

The article from MSN discusses the comparative benefits of biking versus walking as forms of exercise, tailored to different fitness goals. Biking is highlighted for its efficiency in burning calories quickly, offering a low-impact workout that's easier on the joints, and providing an excellent cardiovascular workout due to its ability to engage large muscle groups. It's particularly beneficial for those looking to improve cardiovascular health or lose weight in a shorter amount of time. On the other hand, walking is praised for its accessibility, requiring no special equipment, and its ability to be integrated into daily routines. Walking promotes mental health, helps in reducing stress, and is ideal for those aiming for moderate exercise or recovery from injuries. It also supports weight loss but at a slower pace than biking. The choice between biking and walking depends on one's fitness level, goals, and personal circumstances, with biking being more suited for intense workouts and walking for sustainable, everyday fitness.
