I love to bike and i need to lose weight. I would get a regular bike but i live in the middle of nowhere and the roads are not that safe to ride with a bike. So would it be a good idea to get an exercise bike? Would it help to lose weight when combined with other exercises??
Answer
I absolutley love my exercise bike!! It is a York c301 Diamond and cost me $650 on sale. It has many different programs and I have it set up in a room with a tv right infront of it. Whenever i am bored, looking for something to do or feel like exercising safely, I jump on the bike. I love it and would highly recommend it. The seat is big and comfy and it has an electronic screen that records, calories, speed and distance.
It has been the best money ever spent.
Go for it, it really sounds like you are a perfect candidate for one.

Answer
Basically, you need to exercise to elevate your heart rate (you should be out of breath). This sort of exercise is the most calorie intensive and therefore burns any excess fat quickly. Interval training is a great way to do this. Simply cycle at a pace that you find difficult for five minutes, then drop to a slower recovery pace for the next five. Keep alternating between the two paces for half an hour at first. You'll be able to increase this once you gain fitness and endurance. Using the bike in this way will provide you with a much more effective workout than simply cycling at a steady pace for the same amount of time.
