How to Lose Belly Fat Biking

You can lose belly fat by biking moderately and regularly. The facts on how cycling can reduce belly fat are not complicated. You do not need to ride hundreds of miles for biking and improved diet to cut belly fat.

You should work up to at least 30 minutes of solid biking per exercise session and try for three to seven days of workouts per week. As your conditioning improves, add minutes as time and inclination allows.

Try to add at least 10 percent more time per week as you progress in conditioning.

Going up hills adds intensity and calorie burning. In general, one minute of intense biking is equivalent to one minute of intense running, and biking is a lot easier on your back and joints.

Try buying a pedometer and using it in the same way that you would measure steps while walking. One time around when you pedal is roughly the same as one step. Go for a total of 10,000 steps per day, adding your walking during the day with your biking workout. This is a level that will quickly lead to improved fitness and consistent, steady fat loss.

Get a heart rate monitor and wear it while walking and biking. Try for the same number of beats per minute biking as you get when you are walking. Equivalent beats per minute in the various activities equals roughly equivalent intensity.

Follow a well-rounded diet that fuels your activities while cutting off 500-1000 calories from your caloric need to maintain your weight.

Above all, enjoy your biking and integrate it into a varied and consistent exercise program. Make activity your lifestyle and you will lose belly fat while biking--and feel great in the process.
