best spin bike for weight loss image
Q. I have just aquired an exercise bicycle from a friend of mine who was moving that didn't wish to take it with her.
When I go to the gym (rarely) I usually use the elliptical machine, but since I have this bike now, I would much rather stay at home and workout.
My question is for those of you who ride exercise bikes, is it really just as effective as other machines at weight loss, or will I have to ride at longer intervals to achieve any type of results?
For the record, I'm 26 yrs old, 5'6 and weigh 130lbs, trying to get down to 120lbs, or at least stay in that range.

stationary bikes are awesome for weight loss. Ever hear of spinning? That burngs nearly 800-1200 calories an hour. And you can do it now in your own home. Look up on google some spinning tips, and you'll be on your way to slimming down fast!! I have heard that bikes are the best way to lose weight..you're working out your abs, thighs, calves, butt. Do some arm movements while you're riding, and you'll slim down in no time.

How long should it take to see weight loss results?

I got up to 230 pounds and i'm gonna start cycling again. I bought a new spin bike and I am gonna cycle for 45 minutes for 5 days a week. How long do you think it will take to see results?
I will be eating healthy too by the way.

In the first few weeks, it may seem like you're losing weight because the numbers on the scale are going down, but that is not fat loss. That is water weight, and you will notice that your pants may fit better etc etc.
After that, your weight plateaus and it becomes more difficult to lose fat. This can happen a few weeks in. Don't let that discourage you, because it means you're doing things the way you're supposed to.
After that, you have to work harder to burn the fat. The more you weigh, the more calories you burn... so the more weight you lose, the harder you have to work in order to lose pounds. So every so often you'll have to adjust the intensity of your workout. 7-8 weeks in you'll start seeing results.
Also I would start off doing 20 minutes, then 25 minutes, then eventually graduating up to 45 minutes. If you add some strength training you'll boost your potential results as well
