Get Lean, Lose Weight, Improve Fitness!

 

For many people, the main reason that they start any form of exercise is because they wish to lose some weight.

Whether you want to shed pounds or just get rid of those pesky love handles, burning fat is often the main aim.

Or maybe you want to find and reach your proper riding weight!

So how can cycling help? In short, cycling is one of the most complete body workouts, which means that you can burn fat from all over your body if you do it right.


How Does Cycling Burn Fat?

Cycling is a form of cardiovascular exercise, which means that as long as you cycle at the right speed or more importantly in the RIGHT ZONES, you will start to burn fat and lose weight.

Furthermore, because you are engaging so many different areas of your body,  you will also find that you burn calories a lot quicker than you would with other cardio activities. After all, your legs, arms, and entire core are constantly engaged whenever you head out for a ride or get on the INDOOR TRAINER!  A properly tailored B1 training plan working in your personal training zones will get you burning the most calories and help you get leaner faster!

How Much Fat Can I Burn?

A lot of it depends on the time that you ride and the zones that you train in. Our plan will have you doing some endurance rides/training with the right amount of interval training mixed in to burn the most calories and fat.

However, assuming a 185-pound rider riding at a moderate pace for an hour, the rider can burn approximately 654 calories. Upping the endurance and effort ups the lost calorie count, so if that same rider ups his endurance rides in the right zones it is entirely possible to burn as much as 1,000 calories every single hour or higher. That's not a bad rate for something that's fun as well as healthy.

Cycling to burn fat and calories!

The best way to burn fat is to pick a sport that's the most fun for you and that you are going to do the most! If you are reading this we assume you want to start cycling or are already doing some cycling now and want to do more!

It has kept me fit and lean, it's what I love to do and that's why I recommend it. More importantly it works!!

Does Cycling Burn Belly Fat?

Cycling does burn belly fat, in fact, it burns fat from your thighs, your butt or anywhere you have it for that matter. As long as you have the right training plan for you with a calorie deficit, fat is going to melt off! Aim to expend 500 more calories than you consume each day, this is a healthy weight loss plan and works out to approximately 1 pound each week. Hopefully, that is 1 pound of fat, but remember you may not lose it that fast as you are simultaneously building muscle. But, muscle burns fat faster, so really it is a vicious win/win cycle when you bike to burn fat!

The proper balance of Calories in, Calories out with the right training plan tailored to your personal zones!
