Avec la distanciation sociale qui touche le monde entier, il est grand temps de se mettre au v\u00e9lo. Mais m\u00eame en dehors de cette terrible pand\u00e9mie, aller au travail \u00e0 v\u00e9lo est l'une des meilleures d\u00e9cisions que vous puissiez prendre ! Pour vous mettre dans le bon \u00e9tat d'esprit pour la suite de cet article, voici 4 excellentes raisons de changer votre mode de transport pour le v\u00e9lo :\n\u00a0\n\nSant\u00e9 Il est difficile de s'entra\u00eener r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement. Mais cela n'a pas \u00e0 l'\u00eatre ! Si vous abandonnez la voiture ou les transports en commun, vous pouvez faire deux s\u00e9ances de cardio par jour sans perdre votre pr\u00e9cieux temps libre. Apr\u00e8s environ un mois \u00e0 vous rendre au travail \u00e0 v\u00e9lo, vous commencerez \u00e0 vous sentir en meilleure forme, votre corps (surtout si vous menez une vie relativement s\u00e9dentaire) sera plus tonique et vous vous sentirez globalement en meilleure sant\u00e9 et plus vivant.\n\u00a0\n\nArgent Une voiture co\u00fbte cher. Il faut compter le prix de l'essence, de l'huile moteur, de l'entretien, des r\u00e9parations et du stationnement. Aller au travail \u00e0 v\u00e9lo peut vous faire \u00e9conomiser beaucoup d'argent. Aux \u00c9tats-Unis, les estimations vont jusqu'\u00e0 9 000 dollars par habitant et par an.\n\u00a0\n\nTemps Si vous \u00eates en bonne forme physique, vous rendre au travail \u00e0 v\u00e9lo peut vous faire gagner du temps. Embouteillages, barrages routiers, recherche d'une place de parking, trains et bus annul\u00e9s ou retard\u00e9s, m\u00e9tros bond\u00e9s... Vous pouvez \u00e9viter tout cela en prenant votre v\u00e9lo. Sans parler de la r\u00e9duction du stress. Et selon votre condition physique, pour des trajets allant jusqu'\u00e0 8 kilom\u00e8tres, vous serez souvent plus rapide \u00e0 v\u00e9lo.\n\u00a0\n\nBonheur De nombreuses \u00e9tudes ont montr\u00e9 que l'exercice physique r\u00e9gulier r\u00e9duit le stress et att\u00e9nue les sympt\u00f4mes d'anxi\u00e9t\u00e9 et de d\u00e9pression. Mais le v\u00e9lo peut vous remonter le moral de bien d'autres fa\u00e7ons. Le fait de pouvoir enfourcher votre v\u00e9lo et d'utiliser votre propre corps peut vous procurer un immense sentiment d'accomplissement, que la voiture ne pourra jamais vous donner. De plus, le v\u00e9lo procure \u00e0 beaucoup de gens un intense sentiment de libert\u00e9. Vous souvenez-vous encore de vos balades \u00e0 v\u00e9lo dans votre enfance ? Lorsque vous avez enfin abandonn\u00e9 les roulettes et pris votre v\u00e9lo pour aller \u00e0 l'\u00e9cole ? Aller au travail \u00e0 v\u00e9lo vous permet de revivre ces exp\u00e9riences ! Et enfin, le v\u00e9lo vous rendra plus attentif. Vous commencerez \u00e0 remarquer le chant des oiseaux, la sensation de froid, de chaleur, le vent qui vous souffle au visage. Il y a tout simplement moins de distractions \u00e0 v\u00e9lo.\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<a class=\"primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/fr\/sportstyle\/bicycle-the-short-guide-to-start-cycling-now\/\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">lire l&#8217;histoire<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On oublie souvent l'importance d'un bon \u00e9chauffement et d'un bon retour au calme.

The two major physical benefits to a quality warm up are \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;injury prevention and enhanced performance.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nA good warm up is all about \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;priming muscles for movement\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; by increasing blood flow and therefore oxygen supply while also raising muscle temperature resulting in improved flexibility and movement efficiency.\\nThis prepares the body for exercise and helps to improve performance by \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;firing up the central nervous system,\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; which becomes especially important for high intensity training. By priming the connections between your nerves and muscles you will be able to be faster and stronger during your training.\\nA combination of dynamic stretches and low intensity cardiovascular movement allows for \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;greater range of motion, reducing stress on tendons and joints while prepping the circulatory and respiratory systems for the activity to come.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nA 5-10 minute warm up is found to be especially beneficial for endurance, sprint and strength activities.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\",\"width\":\"Wide\",\"aspect\":\"0\",\"style\":\"2b\",\"firstletter\":\"\",\"gradient\":\"none\",\"spacing\":true,\"previewImage\":\"\",\"lock\":\"\",\"metadata\":\"\",\"className\":\"\",\"TrpContentRestriction\":{\"restriction_type\":\"exclude\",\"selected_languages\":[],\"panel_open\":true}} \/--><!-- wp:puma\/row-text-single {\"content\":\"\\u0026lt;p\\u0026gt;Tips:\\u0026lt;\/p\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;p\\u0026gt;- Use a warm up to gradually build into a workout\\u0026lt;\/p\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;p\\u0026gt;- Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.
