no. i would recommend a tredmill its more intense for losing weight while your on a bike you're sitting down and not burning as much calories Any method that you're able to stick to and can get your heart rate elevated is a good method for losing weight, you can dawdle on a treadmill as well as on a bike. RIding hard can use up 800 calories/hour which is pretty darn good exercise any way you look at it. Bikes are good because they offer a low impact method of exercising, which can be important if you're significantly overweight.
Depends on how hard and for how long you go at it, and what your eating habits are like.
If you ride for for about one hour/day, at a level of effort that gets you sweaty and winded, it can use up a decent amount of calories - which certainly can help with weight loss.
But if you're overeating badly, one hour won't be enough to to let you lose any weight.
Likewise, if you're just casually turning the pedals you won't use up any important amount either.
Depends on how hard, for how long you go at it, and when you last had a meal. The body is lazy, and turning fat into energy is harder than than using up the energy already stored in the body in other shapes. So before your body will start to burn fat, you have to use up all of the other energy first. As a rough rule-of-thumb, it takes about 45 minutes to use up the "easy" energy, and it's only after that your body will turn to fat. If you do your exercise before breakfast, pretty much all of the easy energy has been used up during the night, so the body has little choice but to go directly onto fat burn. Even if this is effective for fat burn, it isn't all good though. Fat-to-energy is a slower process, so you can't train as hard as you would have been doing otherwise. Not that effective if you're looking to improve strength and/or stamina. There's nothing special about riding a bike.
Yes, it is a form of cardiovascular exercise like running and biking. It's also good for toning your legs if you stay on your toes while jump roping.
Running and biking are great exercises.
Walking, jogging, biking, and swimming are all excellent ways to lose weight. However, exercise must be coupled with proper eating measures to ensure a proper and healthy balance to weight loss.
Any exercise is good for you!
yes but try not to lose anymore weight and eat good and exercise.
Well,jumping is a good exercise and it works the legs very well.So,yeah it probably is a good way to lose weight.
Exercise alone isn't the best way to lose weight, thought it is a good part of it. Diet, exercise, patience, and willpower all tie in to a successful weight loss. As far as exercise goes, a good beginner one to start with is walking. Biking and swimming are also great options. These are low impact, fun, and work then entire body even though you don't realize it. Remember that a pound of muscle is much smaller than a pound of fat, and extra muscles burn extra calories. Get active in a manner of your choosing, something you can stick with, and good luck!
Exercise biking is better than rip sticking because it is comparatively safer due to presence of brakes, although rip sticking is more fun.
There is no such thing as spot reduction. Dancing and biking are good cardiovascular activities which can cause you to lose weight all over your entire body. As said before, it is not possible to lose weight in just one area.
dont get fat, eat good foods and exercise
