I m doing 12 mph on a exercise bike for 30mins to an hour everyday will i lose weight? I try to eat less latel

Answer 1

The rate of the bike means nothing to weight loss. The amount of time spent at your target heart rate and PROPER diet means everything. Your body will, for the first 15 minutes, work off the carbohydrates that you have consumed for the day while working at your target heart rate. After those first fifteen minutes, your body will change it's thinking. It recognizes that it is losing carbohydrates and will need them for future energy. The body changes over to a slow burning long lasting source of energy. Fats are stored on the body as a source of energy that the body can use as needed. These fats are burned for the next 45 minutes in a gym while working at your target heart rate. After you hit the 1 hour mark on your workout the body once again goes though a change and realizes that it is losing a precious resource. Fats are no longer consumed for energy and proteins are. Our bodies store proteins as muscle, so working at your target heart rate for over an hour is counter productive to have a shapely body and looking good.

Now for the disclaimer, in order to proper manage your weight loss, you need to calculate your resting metabolic heart rate. This will tell you how many calories your body is burning while functioning in an average state. Using this you can tailor your diet to see best results. In no way am I saying that working out for over an hour or under an hour will help you or hurt you. Each person needs to tailor there workout for best results.

An average workout should go as such.
plan 1
stretch
15 minute warm-up on treadmill/bike/elliptical trainer (start easy and build up to finish at target heart rate)
(optional weight lifting)
1 hour max lifting weights correctly for toning and muscle building
-this lifting to be done at 30 seconds rest between each set and 60 seconds rest between each exercise. Target the muscle areas in new ways each week to keep them from getting use to the workout.
45 minutes to an hour at target heart rate on treadmill/bike/elliptical trainer

plan 2
stretch
10 minute warm-up (not at target heart rate)
1 hour cardiovascular workout

Exercise Bike Workout for Weight Loss 1. DON'T just ride the bike nice and easy while comfortably sitting on it Here's a hint you won't burn much fat. Can you talk in a normal conversation while you're exercising? If so, you might as well stop doing it. You're just wasting your time. 2. DON'T ride at the same pace the whole time This is not going to cause much fat burning. You need to change it up on your body, keep it guessing 3. Do use INTERVALS... high intensity intervals mixed with low intensity intervals This is the 1 and ONLY WAY to lose a good amount of weight using this piece of equipment. Here is a general outline that works great for most people. You can adjust the times to fit your conditioning. Ride the bike as fast as you can for 10 seconds. That's tough, but definitely doable. Next, ride it slow for 50 seconds. You're still exercising, but this is actually an "active rest". After that, repeat the 10 high intensity seconds. And so on. You keep repeating the 10 hard seconds followed by 50 easy seconds for at least 20 minutes. At the end of 20 minutes, you would've rode the bike fast for a grand total of 200 seconds... barely 3 minutes. YET... I bet you're sweating. Hmm, wonder why. Well, because you're actually working out in a smart manner that's efficient for burning fat.

Answer 3

Bike is great but must get out and walk for 30 minutes too to get the wind and son. Classes at gyms help too, like spinning.

Eating- proteins-chicken, turkey, salads, fruits, stay away from cookies, cakes and all those fattening carbs.

The diet companies-Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, will make you lose weight as a group but they cost and don't work after you leave them. Diets never work.

Answer 4

Here is the best tool you will need in any cardio workout!

Here is my example: 220 - age = ?

Take ? (which is your maximum heart rate) and
multiply it times 80% and 60%.

While doing for 25 minutes of cardio...try and stay between these numbers (60-80%) for the most optimal performance.

Oh, 3 days a week minimal.

Answer 5

Sounds like that's pretty good exercise, and with a good diet I would think you'd lose at least a pound a week. Good luck!

Answer 6

That's good. Try to do excercises for your arms and torso as well. Eating less is good, but eating healthier is better.

Answer 7

the amount of exercise wont matter if you consume too many calories.. in stead of eating less eat healthier and try to find out your calorie deficit

Answer 8

yes but every couple weeks try to add more time and eat 30 min. before you work out.

Answer 9

milk a cow for 34 minutes

Answer 10

Don t drink soda regularly
