Moving further away from work definitely provides you with an opportunity to incorporate more physical activity into your routine. With a 22-mile round trip, you're definitely putting your endurance to the test. Regular biking at this distance will gradually improve your cardiovascular fitness. Over time, your body will become more efficient at using oxygen and delivering it to your muscles, allowing you to maintain the pace without feeling as winded. This is also a fantastic way to strengthen your leg muscles, particularly your quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and most likely upper butt muscles. While your route might have some slight hills, the consistent pedaling against resistance will definitely help build leg strength over time. And even though this isn't being talked about often I can tell you that this will be a huge boost to your mental health.
