Are exercise bikes good for losing weight? |
Are exercise bikes good for losing weight? they're excellent, and really tone your lower body! You still have to think about toning your upper body though, they don't help with that. Probly. =] Any kind of exercise can help. Any type of exercise is good. Bikes help in the lower area. well, i suppose so, but it is also a good thing to lose money. i notice a lot of people have them in the attic, their cellar, and the barn. they use them for awhile and then tire of them. sorry to bust a bubble, but know where there are a lot of good used ones that people would like to get rid of. honest. those and treadmills. think about it awhile. however, i am not saying you wont like it, but i am betting it will not last long. a real bike is more fun and does the same thing. wont lose much weight, though. sorry, that is my view. and i am old enough to have seen it happen. . A study from the University of Texas shows that for exercise to help you lose weight, you have to exercise intensely, consistently and often. A group of men and women from the ages of 16 to 65 exercised 3 times a week on a stationary bicycle, working up to fairly intense 50 minute sessions for 20 weeks. They lost a few pounds, but that is not enough to help a fat person become thin. This is astounding because most studies show that intense exercise raises metabolism and helps people to lose a lot of weight. To use exercise as your only source for weight loss, you have to exercise intensely enough to raise your body temperature, causing you to burn more calories for up to 18 hours and you have to do it at least five times a week. Swimming won't help most people to lose weight because they do it in water which conducts heat away from the body so efficiently that it prevents your body temperature from rising. Exercising on land at a pace that doesn't increase your rate and depth of breathing also reduces your chances of losing weight. 1)H Wilmore, JP Despres, PR Stanforth, S Mandel, T Rice, J Gagnon, AS Leon, DC Rao, JS Skinner, C Bouchard.Alterations in body weight and composition consequent to 20 wk of endurance training: the HERITAGE Family Study.American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1999, Vol 70, Iss 3, pp 346-352.
