if you ride a bike every day is that going to help you lose weight?

Answer 1

it should, but it depends on what you're eating. You can't lose weight by exercising alone if you're stuffing garbage into your mouth all the time. It has to be a combination between exercise and a balanced diet

Good luck!

Answer 2

If you were to consume the same amount of food each day without increasing the quantity/calories...... then on average riding a bike 6 times/days a week for about 5 miles each time will help you lose about 11 pounds a year...........you can either cycle more than that or reduce your calorie intake by about 500 calories a day.....that will help you lose another pound a week......although having said that it would all depend on what you weigh right now......the more overweight you are to begin with, the more weight you will lose until it settles.
As time goes on you can increase the time cycling to bump up the weight loss too.

Answer 3

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

Answer 4

Everything is basic math for something like this. Amount of calories taken in over amount of exercise putting out. Riding is an excellent way to lose weight with low impact. Balance the diet and cardio (bike riding) and weight lifting. The diet is key though..........Good luck

Answer 5

That actually sounds like the perfect weight for your height, i don't know if i would try to lose more if i were you, you might get toooo skinny. but riding you bike for 1/2 hour a day or so would probably give you some toning and get you in shape! the more junk food/fast food you eat, the more you would have to ride to keep from gaining more weight!

Answer 6

A combination of exercise and healthy eating is the only way to lose weight. Riding the bike is the first part, but you will also need to reduce how much you eat, and choose healthier foods. If you are significantly overweight or have other health problems, please see your doctor before starting an exercise or diet program to make sure you won't be putting yourself at risk for a heart attack or something.

Answer 7

Yes it would if as previously stated your eating program is a healthy one. It would be good to vary your workouts though. Muscle confusion helps keep you burning calories & certain weight lifting type exersises are good for cyclists. When you cycle you should do harder days & then easy days so your muscles can rebuild.
I cycle at most 4-5 days a week.I have lost 95 pounds so far by using an exchange plan (not a diet, it's a way of life), cycling & doing the gym.
Good luck! Join a bicycle club, they will be helpful to you.

Answer 8

It depends on how long (30-45 minutes is ideal) and how vigorous the riding.

30-45 minutes at a pretty good pace and throw in some hills 3 times a week along with a sensible diet and you'll lose weight.

Answer 9

Yes, you can. Although, just to be in the safe side. You always want to do a physical check up with your doctor. Ask the doctor if bike riding is the appropiate way to loose weight for you. Also counsel with a certified nutritionist to see what healthy nutrition menu you can use. but whatever you decide, be consistant with anything you do.

Answer 10

It certainly will help you lose weight. Doing the same type of exercise everyday though is not the best way to improve your overall fitness however. I'd embark on an exercise program with numerous kinds of activity. Include some running, weight training, etc.
