Will An Exercise Bike Help You Lose Weight?

mariah

I want to buy a bike, the one you sit down on and i was wondering if it helps you lose weight,and not just make your legs look better. I know i have to have a good diet and everything to also help me lose weight but can this bike help?

Answer
Burning more calories than you consume, helps you lose weight (fat)...however you choose to burn those calories, is up to you...

Diet (what you eat) is the real key...70% of fat loss is due to WHAT you eat and how much...30% is due to your physical activity/exercise...

How many calories you will burn using the bike will depend on the intensity that you ride, and how long you ride...if you just sit and casually pedal for 10 - 15 mins, you won't burn many extra calories...really pushing yourself (esp in intervals) and setting the resistance so that you have to use some effort, and go at it 30 mins or more, will give you better results...

Do you think that this exercise bike can help me lose weight? (picture included)?

I'll never

Should I ride this for 30 to 45 minute everyday or every other day?

I'm a female that weighs 230 lbs and has a height of 5'6".

What muscles does this bike workout?

Are there any other things that you suggest that I can do to lose weight properly without me gaining it back.

Answer
Yeah if you throw it across your shoulder and walk 5 miles every day. The best way to lose weight is to back off from the trough.
