  • Both cycling and walking are great aerobic exercises that help to stay fit. But should you go for cycling or walking for belly fat reduction?

The article from Health Shots discusses the benefits of cycling and walking for reducing belly fat and provides guidance on choosing the best activity for weight loss. Both cycling and walking are effective for burning calories, improving cardiovascular health, and reducing visceral fat, which is particularly harmful as it surrounds internal organs. Cycling can burn more calories per minute than walking, especially at higher intensities, making it potentially more effective for those looking to lose weight quickly. However, walking is praised for its accessibility, requiring no special equipment, and its lower impact on joints, making it suitable for all fitness levels. The article suggests that the choice between cycling and walking should consider factors like personal fitness goals, current fitness level, time availability, and enjoyment. For belly fat reduction, consistency is key, and incorporating either activity into a routine that also includes a balanced diet will yield the best results. Additionally, varying the intensity, like interval training, can enhance fat burning in both activities.
