Cycling: A good way to burn body fat? |
I'm really getting into road biking. Is this a good way to burn fat from all over my body? How many miles should I ride a day to reap the benefits? (24, Female, 5'8", 146 lbs.) Lisa h is correct. Don't know why people answer questions they don't know the answer to! Cycling is arobic, you loose weight from your body in general, no such thing as spot reduction. Arobics is how you lose fat the fastest. A slow short ride will do little but a 30 to 45 min. medium to hard ride will burn calories and condition your heart and lungs. Biking does work out your legs and butt. The more you lean forward over your bars the more butt muscle you use. It does NOT work out your upper body much at all, abs least of all. If you want to tone your core, shoulders, back and arms you'll need some weight or other resistance workout. Doing both would give you the best health and looks you can attain. Good luck cycling is awesome. Unfortunately it doesnt burn fat all over your body. Mainly it works your abs, thigh muscles and claves...But hey, those are very important and stunning body parts, right? I dotn know the mileage and stuff..but keep excercising! ur really not overwieght!! but cycling wont burn all fat.. just some. Both of the above answers are wrong. You cannot burn fat from one area of your body. You can only tone one area of your body. When you lose fat, you gradually lose it from all of your body. Cycling is an excellent sport to lose fat. Nothing burns more calories than a hard bike ride. Just make sure you diet at the same time. cycling is a good way to burn fat and to accelerate the fat loss you should focus on riding in heart rate zones that lend them selves to fat burning. Naturally, the food you take in plays a Hugh role. Joe spinning coach |
