best exercise bikes for weight loss image
parallel u
I have an exercise bike, but would running be more effective for weight loss?
I want to build as minimal muscle as possible.
Or is there a better way then both of these?
Also, with running, I'm concerned of getting attacked by a dog.
Answer
Both are good for weight loss, but the most important thing is to get your heart rate to 80 percent of it's max for about 30 minutes at a time. If you don't want to gain that much muscle, it would probably be better to run because cycling will really build your leg muscles. If you run, you're also moving your arms so you will also give them a little tone. I hole heartedly understand your fear of getting attacked by a dog. My sophomore year of college, I lived in a really rundown neighborhood and had a neighbor who kept her german shepherd outside all the time which was fine until she gave birth. After that, the dog became quite territorial and even though she was familiar with me would sometimes chase me. After it happened twice, I decided to go running at parks where dogs were required to be kept on their leash at all times since I couldn't afford a gym membership. If you can make it to a swimming pool 3-5 days a week, you might want to consider that too. Swimmers, in my opinion, have some of the best bodies out there. No matter what workout you choose, make sure to stretch a couple of times a day. This will help lengthen your muscles over time, so you still get the strength and tone from the muscle you gain from working out to give you more of a sleek build. Good luck on your weight loss and don't forget to eat smart.

What should be a daily goal of miles to ride on an exercise bike each day?
For a good weight loss?
Answer
you should do four forty five minute sessions a week, and your body becomes acclimated to exercise after doing the same ole thing. So make sure you mix it up, walk,run,bike,sprint,jump rope,stairs,elliptical,row machine,boxing and kickboxing. 45 minute sessions because you don't start burning fat til 15minutes into cardio exercise.
