Is cylcing good exercise for losing weight?
Of course cycling is a good exercise; a good cardio exercise at that because it helps you hike up your metabolism to higher levels causing you that much easier to burn off excess fat from your entire body, to get rid of the fat and the excess weight. Besides the above mentioned, cycling also gives you lots of benefits like lowering blood pressure; improves blood sugar level hence diabetic condition; eases stress and tension; enhances mood and mental health and strengthens your heart and lungs (hence lowers risk of heart diseases and strokes).
Hi, hard-core exercise is NOT the best way to lose weight. In fact, exercise too much, and it increases your appetite, so you’re eating even more during the day. Focus on other things besides new exercise methods to lose weight. In fact, I would not exercise more than 30 minutes a day, 5 days per week, when trying to shed pounds. As someone who has been in the Health and Fitness industry for 10 years, here’s what I would recommend: 1) Follow a very low carbohydrate “induction phase” diet for 2 weeks, such as that offered by Atkins or the South Beach Diet plan. The key is consuming fewer than 20 grams of carbs per day for 14 days. This will put you in a state of “ketosis.” Ketosis is when your body burns pure fat for its energy source. You’ll lose approximately 1 pound of fat per day when in ketosis. After the 2 weeks are up, slowly start incorporating health carbs back into your diet, such as brown rice, oatmeal, whole grains, and veggies. 2) Do your exercise first thing in the morning
