Burning calories on a bike? |
I just bought a bike and have been for the last few days riding it in the morning for an hour for exercise around town. i would say that my speed and effort is about moderate. I read somewhere that in that hour, i burn over 500 calories. I doesn't seem like that much because I am not sweaty afterwards, am not completely exhausted, and actually enjoy it. I used to go to the gym and go on the elliptical and would burn about the same amount in the same time but be so fatigued, sweaty and unhappy afterwards.This may seem like a stupid question, but am I really burning that many calories on a bike? Please, only kind and thoughtful answers. Thanks you. (note: I also posted this in the cycling section for a variety of answers.) How many calories you burn depends upon your current weiight and fitness level, whether you are biking uphill, how hard you have to pedal, etc. Here is a site that I use to help me with questions like that. I have found it to be quite a useful site. I hope it is of some help to you. Source(s): http://www.caloriesperhour.com/... Check out this web site, it is a calorie calculator, put in your weight and how long you exercised, and what kind of exercise and you will get a pretty accurate calorie count! http://www.caloriecontrol.org/exercalc.h... Check your heart rate. You need to make sure you are pushing yourself hard enough. I bike ride can be as exhausting or as easy as you make it. |
