Activities that burn calories – Stationary Bike

January 28, 2009 by mrogers 

Using a stationary bike is one of the excellent activities that burn calories. When the weather keeps you indoors, a stationary bike provides a way to get cardiovascular exercise and help you stay healthy and get to, or maintain, a healthy weight.

To get the most out of activities that burn calories, like the stationary bike, alternate between longer distances and shorter distances with more intensity. Both are useful, but by alternating the two, you will get the most benefit.

When you have extra time, do a longer workout at moderate intensity. This will help build endurance and stamina. When you’re crunched for time, do a shorter, more intense workout. This will help expend more calories and strengthen your heart. All activities that burn calories are useful to your weight loss efforts.
