“Low-impact”

• kazinator 3y ago
  The idea that swimming is better than cycling because it has even less impact is simply invalid. The low impact of cycling is more than low enough.¹ (Outside of falling down and hitting the pavement, of course!) I would say that if all you do is cycling, you should add some more load-bearing exercise, like weights, and a bit of running. You should not be worried that cycling is too high impact and go for swimming for that reason (though there are great reasons to swim, and nobody should be discouraged from that!) ＿＿＿＿ 1. Except for someone with a serious injury that they are treating with pool exercise, or a member of some other special population.
