recumbent exercise bikes weight loss image
Nick A
I'm a 22 year-old smoker, I weigh 220 down from 230 about 2 months ago. I used to run on a treadmill for one mile a day. I have since stopped because it is way too difficult being a smoker. (please spare me the responses on quitting)
My weight loss goal is 20 lbs. I believe this is within reach but I would like someone with experience to tell me how long I should pedal per day to get the fastest results. Thanks!

HI
You should ask your gym instructor to give you a program that suits you with controlled heart monitoring, The usual training for CV machines is: Tread mill for approximate 8min.for your worm up.
Move on to a choice of bikes,you have chosen recumbent bike which is good for 20min. and then you what to cool down by perhaps using the tread mill in walking pace for approximate 5min.If you find this is hard going start with a lesser time on the machines and increase your pace gradually.
But you should all ways remember that exercise on its own will not make you loose wait, you must ad a correct diet designed for you by your gym instructor or your dietitian to run along side with your exercise, i hope this is of Any good to you.

What's better a recumbent or regular exercise bicycle?

Is there much difference in calories burned, quality of exercise or comfort? The bicycle will be used for general weight loss and fitness purposes, not hardcore training.
Answer
As long as you put the effort in I dont think there is much of a difference in terms of calories burnt. The only difference, I think, recumbent bikes offer back support and a larger seat which may be more comfortable for certain people. In my opinion its just personal preference.
