Calorie Burn The number of calories you burn in cycling or in running exercise depends on the intensity and length of time you do. In general, running burns more calories than cycling because it uses more

muscles. However, cycling is gentler on the body, and you may be able to do it longer or faster than you can run. You’ll burn more calories if you’re running or cycling uphill than you were exercising on a flat surface.

Lean Muscles The look of lean muscles usually results in low body fat and overall body fitness. Running may be better for toning muscles since it works your whole body and burns more calories.

Build Muscle Cycling can help you to build more muscles in the lower half as compared to running. Running helps you to build stronger and toned muscle.

Talk with your doctor and a physical trainer if you have a specific weightloss goal.
