Answer 2

Yes, cycling burns more calories per minute than walking. Always base burning calories on time and effort never on distance.

Answer 3

Cycling generally burns more calories than walking, but it depends on the speed with which you walk or cycle. Walking has the benefit of being weight-bearing exercise which strengthens your bones. Cycling takes some of the weight off your knees and hip joints, which can help if you have joint pain.

The amount of muscle you have has more of an effect on how much energy you burn than your weight, which is why many people lift weights when they exercise to lose weight.
