Bike Reviews

If you want to lose weight, then cycling can help. You can’t expect cycling to instantly make you thinner, but nevertheless it can definitely make a contribution to weight control: one hour of cycling at a good pace will burn 450 to 550 calories. Of course not everybody, especially when starting out, can maintain a steady fast pace when cycling - but whatever pace you do cycle at, it’s definitely better for you than sitting in a car! Another thing to bear in mind is that cycling can be an easy way to get the kind of regular exercise that is recommended by most diet programmes (and by most doctors for that matter).

Governments and medical professional general recommend that you should aim to get 30 minutes exercise about five times per week. If you were to cycle to and from work each day (or to the train station), would that reach the target for you? This target doesn’t seem so unattainable when you think of it this way: 15 minutes each time you go to and from work every day.

Of course no matter how keen you are to start exercising, it’s never a good idea to overdo it: if your fitness level is not very high to start with, you will need to build up gradually. For example, you can start out by cycling just once a week, or perhaps cycle to work one day, and cycle back from work the next day, and then, over time, gradually increase the amount of cycling that you do.
