Now that the weather is getting warmer and the days are getting longer, it’s the perfect time to bring your bike out of the garage and go for a ride. Here are some benefits of cycling for your spine:

• Strengthens Core and Lower Back Muscles: Cycling engages your core by trying to balance on the bike. Cycling also helps to build strength in your lower back due to the consistent peddling. 
• Boosts Blood Flow to the Spine: Cycling increases circulation throughout your body including your spine and the muscles surrounding it. Getting more blood flow to your spine helps to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the spine which helps to keep it healthy.
• Reduces Stress: Getting outside and riding your break can help to relieve stress which in turn helps to reduce tension and pressure on your spine.
