| Weight Loss Diary Just a short bookmark to note that since I upped my mileage to 100miles/week, and two-a-day rides, my weightloss has increased dramatically. Initially I only had lost about 15lbs over 6 months at a more modest 50miles/wk. In the first 5 higher mileage weeks, I've lost 15lbs, the second 2 weeks 10lbs more. These last two weeks, I've ridden faster (from 11.7 mph, average to 13.5 mph, average), and farther (from 10 miles/ride to 20 miles/ride average). So, IMO, biking alone can help you lose weight if you are doing enough mileage, and at a fast enough speed. Of course you have to find your own 'threshold' for these. Some people may find that threshold with less mileage, and greater speed - gotta experiment. In addition, I'm adding muscle to my legs, calves and yes, a little to the upper body, although some of the apparent 'muscle' is just better defo, due to the loss of fat. Thus 25-30lbs in 8 weeks has not resulted in any bad side-effects for me, nor have I lost any significant muscle. Energy and drive have increased markedly, as well. Moral: When in doubt, bike a lot! ;-p -B |
