Is an hour on the excercise bike too much for a 14 year old?

Question

exercise

Answer 1

No, as long as you don't let him go too far from home.

Answer 2

If you can handle it (which I think you can) go for it. I wouldn't stop til you can't go no more.

Answer 3

noopeeee:]

it's perfect you'll be really in shape when your older

;]

Answer 4

nope. hour is about right. i know some 14 year olds that train for a few (3-4) hours on their bikes.  

Answer 5

not at all. a lot of 14 year olds get more exercise than that riding bikes, playing sports, skateboarding, and other activities.  

Answer 6

nope.

why would you think tht??

Answer 7

No.

Answer 8

ROFL, no!  

Answer 9

Nah. You're just doing yourself an immense favor.

Keep it up.

Answer 10

Why would it be ?

Answer 11

Nope, but why isn't this kid outside ... on a real bike .... with you (you could use a little excercise too, right?) ... or running, playing a team sport. Unless you are in far northern Finland where it may already be getting dark 24/7 get the kid outside playing.

Alternatively connect the exercise bike to a generator and use it to power the TV and computer.  

Answer 12

nope. =]

good luck & God bless

Answer 13

no absolutely not .

think about it !  how many hours do kids ride their bikes , my 6 year old rides every day for a few hours, and my 15 year old rides his bike back and fourth from school (about 5 miles ) .

:)

Answer 14

What the h**l is a 14 y.o. kid doing on an exercise bike instead of a real bike? An hour is nothing. I used to do that to spend all day swimming or playing rugby. At least they are exercising. They should be doing more and eating like a horse at that age. As long as they are looking after themselves, that is the main thing.

Answer 15

nope.  it's just right :)

Answer 16

No. You will have the most stamina in your teens so make the most of it while you can.

Answer 17

No i did a 1 hour gym session (cardio) when i was 14/15 twice a week and i was in brilliant shape, and the fittest in my rugby team!

If you go to a gym use other machines, such as the cross trainer, rower and stepper (they were best for me), if not do 10-15 minute periods, which are more intense, and have a max 5 minute rest between them (this is what i am currently doing myself)

Good luck  

Answer 18

No. When I was that age I used to ride my bike outside for most of the day. 1 hour on an exercise bike is good. It's better than sitting on the couch playing video games. lol :-)

Answer 19

No it is OK. It would do you a lot more good to ride a real bike out in the open and then you would get a variation on pace due to hills, inclines etc. You would also benefit from fresh air in the lungs which will assist your body to cope with the exercise.

Answer 20

h**l no.  If anything, why is the 14 year old bothering with an exercise bike?  Get them a cycle, a water bottle and, if needed, an ordinance map for your area and kick them out for the day (Mobile phone optional).  Even better, join them.

Luck
