exercise bikes $100 image
MSI Magus
Every day I hope on an exercise bike for about an hour or so. It usually says I burn somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 calories. I am wondering how close to this number I actually might be hitting. Are these bikes often off by a small amount like 100-200 calories.....or are they frequently off by 100s of calories?
Answer
totally inaccurate, they are a rough estimate based on a certain gender of a certain height and weight of a certain age all of which probably dont apply to you unless you are mr or mrs average, i take absolutely no notice of them at all, i would say that on average someone would be burning off approx 600-1000 calories per hour but you would have to be really putting some effort in to get anywhere near that amount of calories burnt.

If i use an exercise bike for 45 minutes a day, what benefits will i see. I just want to slim down my legs and tone them up. I don't want to bulk my legs up even more. So, what benefits will i see if i use one?
Answer
It depends.
but if your diet sucks or is not well designed, you won't see much fat loss. Especially if you have a lot to lose.
Oh wait, you said you just want to slim down your legs. Then do HIIT training on the bike.
It goes like this:
5 min warm up at 100-120 bpm heart rate
45 sec 120 bpm + 15 sec as fast as you possibly can
repeat 14 more times
5 min cool down at 100-120 bpm heart rate
DONE.
Do this 3x per week. The other days you can do regular 120-130 bpm riding on the bike for 45 mins.
