Any type of exercise supports balance, coordination, muscle strength, and improved health, although cycling and swimming are non-weight bearing exercises that benefit the cardiovascular system. The legs contain the largest muscles in the human body, together with the trapezius and the gluteus muscles. This is why the legs can feel fatigued after only several minutes of walking or running.
