Which is better for weight loss?

Question

Going 20 min. on a stationary bike with low resistance at a fairly quick pace, or on a higher resistance? Wouldn't the higher resistance cause me to gain more muscle. I was doing 30 on a stairmaster with med. resistance and I gained muscle weight. So wouldn't the lower resistance do it for me on my bike? Wouldn't I bulk up less?

Answer 1

going 20 on a stationary bike at high resistance and longer you sweat more and loose more weight its easier

Answer 2

you would possibly gain more weight but unless your trying to make weight for somthing gaining muscle is going to be better then losing weight

Answer 3

Muscle is one of the key ingredients of fat loss, so please don't think muscle gain is a bad thing. Muscle is a very active tissue, so burns fat even while resting. You need to have a certain amount of it in order to burn fat efficiently.

You will only really bulk up on muscle if you do hardcore heavy weights for long periods. There is no chance of bulking up doing the exercises you have mentioned.

Always remember muscle weighs more than fat so even though the scales may not have changed much you may have lost fat but gained muscle.



Throw away the scales (they are your enemy) and use you mirror, tape measure and how you feel to judge weight loss.

Good luck and all the best with your weight loss goals
