| Ok, so I have levels 1 - 10 of resistance on my bike, do you have any idea roughly the calories burned on these levels? I am 107lbs. Or what resistance would be equal to an average flat terrain. |

| The same calories as cycling downhill! Without getting your heart rate raised you aren't burning much. |

| cycling on a regular bike needs more energy and burns more calories since the resistance would be higher |

| I would think it would not, because you are not working out as hard as you would with resistance, it tends to work the muscles a whole lot more. |

| Definitely not... A regular bike no matter what speed is burning more calories b/c you have terrain that acts as a natural barrier... |

| My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product (all natural) which I think helps a lot in the process. I recommend you check this website http://slimhealth.info , they have a free trial and you only pay $6.95 shipping and handling. Good luck! |
