Road Bicycle
I just bought a mountain/road bicycle because I really want to lose weight, will it help?
I bought me a decent $275.00 bicycle and is a smooth ride. I roughly weigh 216-219 and 6'ft. I really dedicated myself to quit drinking beer, eating healthy, riding my bike, and working out (rigorously). Do you think I will see results in 20 days?
Congrats on your choice of a bike for conditioning! Running burns more cals but is hell on the joints. Swimming is all around best, but not easily available and pretty boring. Cycling is tops for cardio and mental stimulation, and a great
balance to lifting.
Yep, you'll see and feel results in 20 days. Not dramatic probably, but it'll be there. But, why not think in terms of months and years? I'm talkin' lifestyle change.
You already know about the benefits of exercise. Now, learn all you can about healthy nutrition. It'll serve you well the rest of your life.
Check the link on low carb eating. Be a good complement to the lifting you're doing.
Good luck.
