If i do about 30 minutes a day on a stationary bike, could that help me lose alot of weight or only some??

Answer 1

Here's a serious answer. I hope it helps.
I think it would help if you could have a change in your way of thinking. A more positive attitude will help you feel better and get healthy faster. Using affirmations is one way to change your mind. I have used the following affirmation with some of my clients and they did very well. ''I, (say your name), am at my perfect weight. I look and feel fantastic.'' Write that down 21 times a day for 21 days. Start telling yourself positive things about yourself like, ''I am getting better and better every day!'' or ''Everything I eat makes me thin and healthy.''
This will help. If you have negative thoughts when you write down the affirmation, write down everything that comes into your mind. Then write down the affirmation again. After a while your mind will start to agree with you.
Also, you need to eat healthy and exercise. Following is my standard answer to everyone who wants to lose weight. It's a lot of information but I'm sure it will help you. Good luck with your goal! You can do it.

*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com (Link at bottom of page) and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!

Answer 2

The bike will certainly help you to lose weight, but without an accompanying low calorie diet the weight loss will be small.

The best way to lose weight is to do aerobic exercise (the bike is good, but jogging is even better) about 5 days a week and 3 out of those days do a 1/2 hour of strength training (weight lifting) because the body continues to burn calories for hours after a strength training workout compared to about 1/2 hour after an aerobic workout.

Then with the diet you don't have to radically change what you eat, but the more fattening the food the less you should consume and if you are still hungry fill yourself up with healthier foods.

And most importantly keep it up! This will only be effective if you do it for a few months!

Answer 3

Yes, you can. I like On Demand, too! My clients would lose 30 lbs in 3 months on my program. No cereal for breakfast. How old are you? Eat like an adult. Have eggs and eat 3 meals a day. Why would you want your body to be out of balance? A system running efficiently can use all the food you eat as fuel. Sounds like your meals are all wrong. The problems begin as soon as you lose the weight and start to eat again. Without proper balance in weight loss, you're setting yourself up to do it again in a year.

Answer 4

I once met a senior doctor who gave me stress tests, etc. He told me I need to walk 40 mins daily cos I was overweight. I asked him about a stationary bike. He told me a stationary bike will exercise the lower part of your body compared to walking which exercises your whole body.

So I guess you may not lose as much weight as you would walking or doing some other exercise that involves your whole body.

Answer 5

YES! I ride my bike everyday for about 30 min to an hour and i've lost 12 lbs.! It really helps. I ride up hills mostly, but not like hill after hill. Like go up one then go down ride around for a while then turn around go back up and down etc. I've also been drinking one green tea day. It helps too. If you get flavored green tea it almost takes like flavored water. I really like the citrus. And i was one of the people who thought it was gross, but now i love green tea. It's something everyone whos going on a diet should try. Also if you've ever looked at diet pill boxes, they have green tea in them. So it's like taking the pills but in a liquid form and with no nasty side effects! And it's totally healthy and everything. You can find green tea in walmart, target, etc.

Answer 6

Use the calculator in the link below, it will help a lot. And as long as you're burning more calories than you take in, and have a significant amount of sweat from the exercise, after a few weeks you're going to notice a nice amount of weight loss.

Answer 8

Cardio will help you a lot. But you really want to tone your body too, otherwise you could end up with a lot of excess skin, and its really hard to get rid of it. I run, and do pilates.. which is actually pretty relaxing.. and kind of fun!

*ALSO*

Remember to also diet, and if you have any medical problems, consult your doctor first. It takes a combination of diet and exercise to lose weight and keep it off!!!

Answer 9

I would try running or using a cross trainer/ellipctical because those burn way more calories....probably anywhere from 400-650 calories for 30 mins based on how hard you work compared to 200-250

Answer 10

to lose weight you have to do cardio 4-6 times a week for average of 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat.

Answer 11

Bike is a good source of exercise,it depends how much force u apply while paddling.If u apply less force u will burn less calories and if u apply much force u will burn more calories.
