Is The Stationary Bike Effective For Cardio? What Do You Think???

[variation]

How do you manage to read Elite posts while on the exercise bike???

take out my computer chair, put the exercycle in the place of my chair, set the keyboard on the handles, and reach out to use the mouse, while peddling with my legs at a moderate pace.

Cycle to gym?

Yes it works, I've lost 60lbs. on the stationary bike, but I also stairstep a little.

Wow Bignutt! That's great!! What did you used to weigh and how much do you weigh now? I'm trying to come down from 270lbs 20% bf to 230-235lbs 7-8% bf right now. I think I'm going to buy an Elliptical Trainer so I don't stress my joints so much.

try the spin bike, or take a spin class, that works you pretty hard as well.

Just think about the target heartrate. That is what you need to reach and how you get there except for running from the cops doesnt really matter.

Well, I was 309 and went to 248. I would ride for about 20 min. then workout, then ride another 20 min. I started mixing stair-steping into it also. I mountain bike too so I like biking to lose weight at the gym.

Umm...21st century?! ever heard/seen a PDA/Laptop?! most of those ecercise bikes have plenty of space in the front to position such an appliance (especially PDA)

The equipment does not really matters

It is how you use it which makes the difference

Yes! Exercise Bike truly helps a great deal to me. My 30 minutes on a bike ups my day by day calorie consume. I can feel that burn in my thighs while riding the bicycle each day. It is a compelling approach to get into physical shape and enhance your health
