just bought an exercise bike and..?







i was wondering if anyone had used one as an attempt to tone and lose fat. how long did it take to reach your goal? has anyone ever reached their weight goal by using one? what kind of exercises in combo to the bike did you use? how long do you work out? i need a good plan to try that has worked for someone else. i dont have weights or anything just a bike. so i cant use exercises that include other machines or weights. thanks


Answer
the exercise bike is better than the couch, but not the most efficient workout. to simplify things, i like to do cardio that involves having to move your own bodyweight. a bike does not provide that to you. stairclimbers, elliptical machines and treadmills all force you to move your own body weight, but dont worry, the bike will still do the job if you are consistant. as for other exercises, you can purchase a $5 jumprope and do 5 minutes jumprope, 10 minutes bike, switch back and forth 2-3 times and you just trained for 30-45 minutes. it will help keep you from getting bored if you mix it up a little bit. you can also opt to go for a brisk walk or jog once a week in place of the bike. other exercises you can do without equipment are pushups, squats and lunges, and dips. these exercises all use your own body weight as resistance. google them to find out how to do them, feel free to message me if u have any ?s about what i wrote. good luck

will an exercise bike help with this???



Answer
Hey
An exercise bike will burn calories, increase circulation and endurance and generally improve your health. However, using an exercise bike will not build muscle. Cardiovascular exercise can help the heart and the overall health of a person, but its effect on weight loss is actually limited for many people. If you are exercising without dieting, you probably will not notice a significant change. Cardiovascular exercise, such as an exercise bike can provide, is actually far more effective in weight management than weight loss. An exercise bike, even at full resistance, is not likely to shape your abdominal areas, so if you are looking to lose weight and raise your metabolic rate, then try resistance training exercises, such as weights, machines or even push ups.
