Can I get the same benefit out of 30-40 min on stationary bike as I can with 2 miles of moderate walking?

Just curious.

Probably. You didn't specify what benefit you're asking about, but I assume it's weight loss. In that case the answer is: depends. It depends at what intensity you are riding the bike and what intensity you are walking.

You'll get the same fat burning results as long as you are doing either exercise for at least thirty minutes in your Fitness Zone which is 60鈥?0% of your maximum heart rate. The percent of food energy from fat in this zone is 85%. Calculate your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220. Source(s): http://chubbyloser.com

Depends on how hard/fast you push it on the bike, but yes, its probably similar.
The calorie expenditure will be approximately a third more for the bike depending on speed of each, but the stationary bike will be a cardio workout only. Walking is a low-impact weight bearing exercise and in addition to the cardiac benefits, it will also help prevent osteoporosis.

The key to effective exercise is time and intensity. 30-40 mins on the bike at piss-poor effort will not equal to 2 miles of moderate walk. 2 miles moderate walk is not better than 30-40 mins high intensity bike ride. So you need to look at the intensity of the exercise + the time spent execising. A good guide is exercise to when you have trouble having a conversation for minimum of 30 mins five days a week.
Proabably ur statement is w/o trying either. Biking for 30-40 min is positively more beneficial.

U eat only when hungry and that too not more than three times a day with only and only water in between. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. In the process u enjoy it more and make ur body motor system tell u that u have had enough.

Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.

U will achieve the ideal weight effortlessly in a reasonable time.
