Since Easter, I have been riding my bike about 40 miles a week. Will I ever start to lose weight? |
My car broke down Easter weekend, so I've been riding my bike to work. I'm not doing this to lose weight-- but because I need get to work. But I am wondering if they'll eventually be a weight-loss benefit. I've heard that the body strives to maintain whatever weight it's at by adjusting its metabolism and the trick is to stay with a diet/exercise program long enough to change your "set-weight point." One word answer? Maybe. Bike riding is great exercise, and your heart is probably loving you for it. But if you're riding 40 miles a week and you work 5 days a week that's only 8 miles per day, and four miles at a time. That's better than nothing, but its still not a lot of sustained cardio. Also, steady state cardio like bike riding doesn't effect your metabolism much. So if you burn say 400 calories a day riding your bike (probably about right) but you eat a lot of junk food, it won't make much difference. That being said, you have a good thing going. I'd build a whole nutrition and exercise routine around the bike, using that for your cardio. Add in three hours a week of weight training, and eat right (check www.spartafit.com for how many calories you need per day and other nutritional advice) and THEN you'll see some good weight loss. Good luck! it really depends, because if you eat more since easter, then your body may continue to gain weight. what you are doing is healthy if u keep doing it for a long time, you will definitely lose weight for sure There is definitely a benefit and eventually you will start to loose weight as long as you maintain the amount of calories you take in. Do not eat more food just because you are exercising more. A healthy diet is the other crucial element to loosing weight. to loose weight you need to burn more calories than you eat, then the weight will come off, so as long as your eating healthy, your bike ride should certanly make u loose weight xxxxxx for sure One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great!
