I know that the treadmill is the best fat burning machine in the gym, but...
The stationary bike is the great equalizer.
Everyone of all fitness levels can get a hard workout on the stationary bike. All you have to do is set your resistance and Go!
And it's allright if your muscles burn out before your heart rate gets really high...remember what I've said before, "Heart rate does NOT determine fat loss."
The amount of work you do in a short time, and therefore the amount of turbulence put on your muscles, matters so much more than worrying about your heart rate.
So that leads us to...
Secret #3 - Use the stationary cycle for interval training.
I choose the stationary bike for intervals whenever possible
because cycling against a resistance can help maintain muscle mass.
Cycling against a resistance also allows you to perform a large amount of mechanical work, and that is a key determinant of the Turbulence in my training.
But please note: I don't use low-intensity, fast pedaling
'spinning' intervals as I'm convinced that the hard, resistance
based intervals are more effective for fat loss. My clients only
cycle against a strong resistance in their intervals.
I really like the bike, but there are many other ways to do
intervals. Use what works for you, but if you are at a plateau, try the bike.
If you have any other questions, just let me know.
Sincerely,
