Cycling to Lose Weight

There are many exercises to choose from that can help lose weight. The best exercise to perform would depend on individual preferences and capabilities. What may be a great exercise for one person may not suit another. Cycling is a popular exercise for those attempting to lose weight. This exercise does offer many benefits; it can be done outdoors, view the scenery or together with friends.

However, I personally wouldn’t cycle to lose weight. I believe cycling is a very "hit or miss" exercise. Firstly, only the lower area of the body is involved in the movement. Also, the legs only have a low range of motion. Both these facts make it difficult to burn lots of calories unless pushed. Plus, cycling at a high rate of intensity only drives the activity further towards the anaerobic spectrum of our energy system causing the body to burn more carbs. Another problem is when cycling outside, tackling any hill requires greater muscular effort going up but a period of rest coming down, it doesn’t allow the energy system to establish a steady pace, which is vital for burning fat.

I’m not saying cycling is no good, I just believe there are better exercises for burning fat. An exercise that requires a full range of motion and involves numerous joint movements which helps tone the whole body. My favorite exercise for burning fat is rowing.

 

 

 

Exercise recovery can be an important factor for losing weight permanently

ALL DIETS WORK!

 

Yes, if weight loss is all you desire, and you don't care where it comes off, then virtually any diet will work - in the beginning stages that is.

 

However, if you wish to Decrease Excess Body Fat Permanently and without Fast or Easy Regains,  then NO DIET WILL EVER WORK!

The problem is dieting actually slows the metabolism as the body needs to burn up muscles to make up for the very low calorie intakes.

 

As Tom Venuto states in his brilliant, New Book, the solution is to Burn the Fat Off, rather than attempting to starve it!
