Does biking help you lose weight?

Question

Is it any good for our body?

Answer 1

yes, and if you are conscerned with losing weight you have to lose weight all over, not in any particual spot.  

Answer 2

Yes not sure ask a docter.

  

Answer 3

I have done a lot of biking.  It worked ok.

However, I have found the best combination is:

1.  Running 2-3 times per week (2-5 miles run/walk)

2.  Pilates 2x per week (with private instruction!)

3.  Yoga 2-3 times per week

I have done this routine for 4 years now.

I get lots of compliments.

I used to hate buying clothes.  Now I love it!!!

And I was never a big shopper!!

I think running is better than biking to keep your weight down.

I have done both.  Running works better.  You do not have

to go far or go fast, but if you get out there consistently,

it _will_ work.  I took a "Women's Running 101" class to

help me out.  It was a very supportive clasee and exremely

helpful.  

Good Luck!!!

You will have fun!!

Answer 4

Every kind of exercise is good for you! It's good for your dog too...if you have one.

Anything that gets your heart rate up is good for helping you burn calories and burning more calories then you take in is going to help you lose weight. Also it will help tone your muscles and the more your muscles are in shape the more fat you will burn.

Answer 11

Yes, It does

Answer 12

Biking can be great exercise.  It can burn calories and build muscles.  However, biking in traffic is very unhealthy.  I persoanlly know a guy who was killed when he was hit by a car.  Biking on trails where there are no cars is a good idea.  Biking alongside a road with cars whizzing by is too dangerous and the risk of being killed or crippled outweighs the health benefits.

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

Yes! I started biking every day for at least 30 mins and I lost a whopping 40 pounds. :D

Answer 15

YES. Especially the legs and abdomen (if you can contract your ab muscles while doing it). If you pedal at a fast enough rate, and keep you heart rate steady, it is a very effective workout.
