Walking vs Cycling?

Dear Friends

Happy Evening

Which is better for maintaining proper weight?

Exercise bike or walking?

Riding an exercise bike and walking are both forms of

aerobic exercise that raise your heart rate and promotes good health

Walking and biking on a stationary bike are low-impact forms of exercise.

Walking at a slow-to-brisk pace is considered low-impact.

Race walking is considerably more stressful on your body. 

Riding an exercise bike, especially a recumbent model that supports

your back, is easy on your spine, knees and hips.

 However, once you increase the resistance on the stationary

bike or stand up to pedal, you increase the musculoskeletal

impact of the activity. 

Both riding an exercise bike and walking helps to burn calories.

For quick burning of calories, riding on a stationary bike is better than walking.

110 calories are burnt during a brisk walk if we cover a distance of 1.5 kms

A 70 kg person who cycles vigorously for 30 minutes on a stationary

bike burns an estimated 391 calories.

If you are trying to lose weight, hopping on the stationary bike

may be a better choice.
