Stanley Park, Vancouver Tour



Stanley Park is recognized around the globe as one of the great parks of the world! Vancouver’s first park and one of the city’s main tourist attractions, Stanley Park is an evergreen oasis of 400 hectares (1,000 acres) close to the downtown core. Its natural west coast atmosphere offering a back drop of majestic cedar, hemlock and fir trees embraces visitors and transports them to an environment rich in tranquility. The park abounds in wildlife and its features appeal to the naturalist, the plant lover or one who would do nothing more than relax in beautiful surroundings.

General Cycling Tips and Tricks

Do you love cycling? If you do, then congratulations. Cycling is both a fun and effective workout that gives you a ton of energy, but there are a few musts when it comes to cycling. It does not matter if you are an expert or a beginner, a cyclist should remember these few tips.

Before you start your cycling expedition, make sure you have the proper equipment. A sturdy road/mountain bike, the proper clothing, extra chains, few bolts, screws, and bottled water are all essential. It is important to be prepared before and during your cycling routine.

A 10-15 minute warm up is recommended before you cycle at top speed or for long distances. A warm up helps stretch out the leg and arm muscles, and it helps to avoid cramping. Warm-ups are important in any type of active exercise and cycling is no different.

For beginners and people who have not ridden their bicycle in a while, it is important to cycle in intervals. Cycling intervals refer to the speed and power you use during a bike ride. Interchanging between a few minutes of full speed and a few minutes of light cycling will help prep you for a more prolonged and strenuous cycling workout.

To become more physically equipped with cycling, try some strength training workouts. Tone and strengthen your core and leg muscles to add some power during your bike rides. Try adding resistance by going uphill. Extra inclination really makes you work out your leg muscles to their fullest power.

A healthy cycling routine is a combination of aerobic exercise with a nutritious lifestyle. For example, including a lot of protein in your diet helps build muscle for more power and endurance. Being healthy by eating fruits, vegetables, and avoiding fatty products is very important. Since cycling is the perfect aerobic exercise for losing and maintaining your weight, it will not do you any good to eat unhealthily.

The benefits of cycling are incredible. It lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, keeps you in shape, and prolongs your life expectancy. If you are able to combine a great cycling program with a healthy lifestyle and avoid dangerous habits of drinking and smoking, then you will be cycling well in to your 80’s.

Everything also depends on how you set up your training program. Cycling is beneficial only when it is done the right and safe way. A good cycling program is one that makes an improvement in your life. A bad one can be a safety hazard to your health.

Cycling is fun and exciting for all ages because it is simple yet effective. If you cycle a few days a week, you are guaranteed to feel better about yourself and have loads more energy. Have a great ride.
