Stationary Exercise
Is Cycling 8 miles a day on Stationary Bike good exercise for someone eating healthy and trying to lose weight?
I have a treadmill too but I hate it. I'm hoping this will be good enough.
8 miles on the bike isnt very much unless you have it on a high resistance level most of the time. If I were you I would focus more on the amount of time you were doing it while trying to keep your heart rate within a certain range. For me I would do 45 minutes and not let my heart rate fall below 135 or so. It's a little easier to keep track of if you have a heart rate monitor, but if you don't you can just check your pulse ever 5-10 minutes for 6 seconds and add a zero at the end of whatever number of beats you counted.
Though depending on what your goal is, you will want to change your target heart rate. For me, I'm 21, 5'3 and 135lbs, and if I wanted to focus just on fat burning I would keep my heart rate between 130 and 150....if I wanted to focus more on endurance and High Intensity Training I try to stay above 150.
