|
| I am a female in her early 30's, 5ft. 2, 165lbs (oh no!!!) who just bought a recumbent bike. I needed something non-jarring due to some upper vertebrae degeneration I have. How many minutes per day do I need to be on this bike to see some weight loss results? My diet is the typical American diet, though I am switching to more baked foods and less sodas. Would like to start off with a solid excersise program first, then modify my diet gradually day by day. I have yo-yo'd so many times in the past, with diet pills, starving, and what not, and just want to be healthy this time. Drastic is not for me anymore, as I wish to preserve my health and not be jarring or harmful to my body. Thank you. |

| Definitely a great attitude to have...your already half way there. Most people will quit in the middle because they think it will happen over night, but to be healthy and not gain back the weight...it takes awhile.The first thing I would do is drop the sodas all together. That can be easily replaced with good old water. 0 cal 0 fatAll the other foods you can modify over time...but water is a must. ( remember that your body is made up of about 70% water.)Start out slow on the bike. What important is to keep track of how long and how far you go. Then every week raise it by a certain increment and continue on. As you already know...consistency is key to losing weight. Good luck~! |
