Will I benefit from using a mini exercise bike?

best exercise bikes recumbent image

Q. I bought 2 exercise bikes, one recumbent for in front of the TV for when I am watching my favorite shows. I have been doing about 40 mins a night. During the day when I am at my computer I have a mini under the desk bike. With the mini bike I am using it alot but really not exerting myself. I know that to lose weight you need to diet and exercise. Am I helping my weight loss at all with this?

Answer
All movement uses energy, that's to say it does burn calories. The thing is, if you want to burn fat you have to be in the fat burning zone of your exertion. This is normally not achievable at the same time as pouring over a spreadsheet but maybe when you are watching dancing with the stars. If you are reducing your calories and riding the bike as often and as intense as you can eek out, who is anyone to tell you it's not working? My experience leads me to say exercise that is only mild in exertion shows as only mild results. If you are going to spend the time working out. Give it your whole hearted effort. I mean it is your time and energy. Why not make it count.
