It was stated that bicycle helps fight issues pertaining to weight for the women aged between their 30s and 40s will have the same effect as that of brisk walking which helps in trimming down the weight.

The observational study took data of Harvard Nurses’ Health, that tracks 1, 16,608 female nurses, who were asked questions about their health, weight, diet and behavior.

It was published that women who increased their physical exercise such as brisk walking and bicycling by 30 minutes a day tend to lose pounds faster than those who did slow walking.

On the other women who decreased their cycling time for 15 minutes jotted up about four-and-a-half pounds on average.
