Biking is a great exercise to keep your spinal muscles and joints loose and strong. Biking helps get your heart pumping and helps to circulate blood throughout your body. Biking is better for your spine compared to running because your spine isn’t being jostled around as much. Before biking, contact your doctor to make sure your body is capable of stretching, stretch before biking, and train by establishing a goal. Always wear protective head gear when biking.
