These are the top 5 reasons why cycling is the BEST sport for weight loss and fitness gains. It is a great cardio sport that allows you to train under aerobic and anaerobic respiration at a low impact which decreases your risk of injury. Cycling is also a great sport for adventure and being part of a motivated community. If however you can't find someone to ride with, no worries. Just grab your bike and helmet and explore new roads!

Cycling clears the mind and releases some great hormones for stress relief!
Yeah. It’s been a lifesaver for me this year
@@AWriterWandering Hope you're doing much better now! As someone who has been signed off for stress, I'm currently waiting for my new road bike to arrive to rrpalce my old one. Can't wait to get out there.
Is the weightloss possible doing by cycling only????
Used to work in a bicycle shop and I had a few customers that were overweight and wanted to be healthy. They came for a $100.00 bicycle and after showing and explaining them what we sell and how these bikes were better than department store bikes I saw these people transforming their body and soul everytime they visited me. Literally a transformation that brought them joy and health. That made me feel happy because in a way, I felt I helped them. Cycling is the best sport...
I have not lost weight; and sometimes people even look down on me bicycling because of age and gender --they say it is for kids and yes that hurts; but bicycling is what I do on my own and bike is what I have for this last twenty three years. I feel good on my bike; I feel less hurt when on my bike; I fall asleep faster.....
I encourage and wish senior women or just seniors in general to bicycle outdoor to feel the breeze, because it is truly food for our body and soul....
I bought a MTB last May 2015, been at it for almost a year. mostly road riding and small trails. It encouraged me to change my diet and drink only water now. I started at 374lbs I'm down to 298lbs and feeling great!
Congrats on your weight loss. I'm at 318 lbs. at 5'11" and just got a bike to start biking again after about 15 years. Need to lose weight big time and improve fitness. Any suggestions for biking and diet?
Thank you Dennis! I would suggest making small changes at a time to your diet at first. Your more likely to stick with them for a longer period. Get a HR monitor and stay in your fat burn zone for the first month or 2. Good Luck & let me know how you progress.
Will do; thanks.
One of the most important things is routine. Make a plan each sunday for the next week and stick to it! Even if it's just a short ride, get out on the bike more often instead of only a few longer rides. And if you are really busy biking to work is a great option if possible. If you want some great tips GCN has 3 or 4 great videos on losing weight through cycling! Cheers, and good luck
I lost 2.5 stone since cycling I could not ride much more than a mile before needing to stop , I now do regular 30 to 40 mile rides with out a stop , my aim is to do a 100 miler this year and I'm 54 , that's age not stone lol
Keep it up wether it's commuting or pleasure , I also do mostly road ut got a mountain bike now for the winter and I have no excuse all year .
Good luck to you buddy
Been inline and ice skating for a few months now. The best workout is one that you're not thinking about. I'm getting a bike soon to add to my wheeled activities.
I own both road bike and mtb. However recently I discovered that fixing a fork without suspension for my mtb give me best of both world. I get easy handling of MTB and speed (though still not totally as fast as a road bike). Note that I don't do trails with mtb, just urban casual riding, 80 percent on pavement and 20 percent on road.
I got a chuckle out of the video at various technology at 1:03. For the older crowd this image would scare the pants off some, with all these gadgets, lol. Great video. I agree.
👍 very well explained....I also,just grab and go out and enjoy cycling alone...
You know it!
Cycling is the best sport. And for sure: it burns calories while you have fun and the time goes fast.
Thank for the infos
1. It's cardio.
2. Low impact sport.
3. It's exciting and adventurous.
4. Social aspect (group rides / clubs).
5. You can do it on your own (no team required).
6. You get to eat loads of bugs that fly into your mouth and trap the rest with your eyes.
Buckblacket Lol Yea. That’s the only sucky thing about it
@@Buckblacket Protein is good, and wear glasses. :)
Pure Protein!
*muffemod* Yes, great reasons! And so original.
the best workout is the one that is fun
Watching TV, best workout.
You still own a tv?!
how long have you been not watching tv?
+Sentio Ergo Sum what is wrong with a tv?
Brandon Cabrera a lot of things, if you watch too much of it, imo thats more than one hour a day.
So I’m 13, and I’m like 190 somthing pounds, and I wanna lose weight. So starting tomorrow I’m gonna go explore with my bike, wish meh luck!
Proud of you. Stay with it and you'll be so proud of yourself, I promise
Evolved Love thank you, it means alot
how you doing bud? ^^
lost some pounds?
Status update young man? Hopefully you’re still exploring
Update?
I was 350 lbs when I finally got back on a bike. Size 48x34 pants.. I rode my bike 14 miles round trip 4 or 5 days a week. I lost a total of 159 pounds and had to buy new pants and shorts every week. Im back up to 250 and am getting a bike with taxes. Anyone looking to lose weight needs to get a damn bike because the pounds will literally melt off you. thabks for the video brotha!
Jacob E. WOW congrats! That's freaking amazing! I need to lose about 50 pounds and have started biking local trails. I love biking.
Rose Gold ride as hard and as far as you can more and more each day! Im now back up to 250, its time for my fat ass to get back on the bike lol
I was at 420 pounds with. 55 pants size and I'd rid maybe 5 miles a day 4 days a week I'm down to 340 so fsr
Jonathan St Clair keep riding homie! you'll get there!
Congrats :)
I could not agree more with you. In 2000, living in Dallas, I purchased an inexpensive bicycle and started riding. At first I was riding only 7 miles after work each day. As my enthusiasm for riding grew, my mileage increased until I was getting 25 miles a day. In 18 months I went from 300 pounds to 190 pounds. I moved to Chicago and became an avid rider typically doing more than 30 miles a day to and from work plus adventure rides. I'm now 66 years old, 165 pounds, and I live in Ecuador. I only ride between 10 and 20 miles a day now but I live in a village 8300 feet above sea level and ride uphill from here into the mountains. Bicycle riding took me from being a sedentary person to being an active, alive, adventurous person. I love my bike riding life!
Al Wow that is so amazing!!! What took you to Ecuador?!? That seems really exciting!!!!!
Congrats Al. I will turn 61 in March, started riding 7 months ago, average 10 miles every day in 55 min, went from 165 pounds to 148. Indeed biking is super fun. Where in Ecuador are you settled?. I am from Ecuador, living in Houston.
Al what kind of bike do you recommend for being over 300lbs?
Al, Your story gives my hope. I'm 58, just started riding at the beginning of COVID 19 (about 2 months ago) no gyms are open. I weight 210 lbs trying to get to 175 lbs. Today I road 40 miles in 3.5 hours. I know it is slow but it was fun and I just kept going. I lived in Naples Italy some years back and road a little while there, but after returning to the states I stop. . What made you move to Ecuador. It sounds exciting. I'm thinking about New Zealand don't ask why? I guess I'm just sick of all the whining here in NC.
Cool. Are you retired there or expat? Whats it like living there?
"if you fall off it's not low impact anymore" LOL
Use your bicycle for transportation. Saves you time to workout, save money for gas and car, and good for the environment.
well said brother! hats off to you :)
But im overweight and my work is 19miles away, maybe lose weight first huh?
Well you don't have to lose weight at first except if your bike can't handle your weight every bike has different weight limit usually up to 100kg so don't hesitate my friend ride your bike and ride safely
19 miles might be a little too far to commute daily by bicycle, at least for me. Give it a try first on your day off just to see whether it's a reasonable distance for you. Then start commuting by bike one day a week to see how it goes.
I second that, first you have to know if you can handle that distance before you go off cycling to work but I recommend you to practice first as @bimapringgo said don't force yourself if you can't do it. It will take sometime for your body to adjust so take it easy try 1-2km first then add more distance if you are used to it. again ride safely :)
I'm glad I came across this video. I've been cycling for over 30 years. Three years ago, I had both my hips replaced because of arthritis. Last year, July 4, 2017, was my first month back in the saddle. I actually found it to be beneficial for range of motion improvement. It also strengthened my legs. It's almost a year later and I'm already up to 300 miles per month, weather premitting. I strongly encourage cycling, not only for physical health, but mental and social health as well. I'm 57 years old and I approve this video. See you all on the road someday.
I'm 58 and just started during COVID 19 (about 2 month ago.) What do you mean when you say "weather permitting" I rode one day last week it was 58 but sunny and thought I would freeze. today it was 78 degrees and it felt great. I want / need to keep at it because I' trying to lose weight. I'm 210 and trying to get to 175, running is out of the equation. I'm in N.C. so the weather changes a lot. So if you could help me out on the weather permitting would be great. I now what works for you might not work for me and that I need time to adjust. I'm just trying to get some ideas and see if I need to invest in better gear.
@@kennethdavis9732
What I meant by 'weather permitting' is this, I have arthritis and it's painful when I ride during cold weather. Even if I wear layers of clothing, the pain is still there. Rides like that are very short, not even a mile. 🤔 Stil working on that.
300 miles a month! Ive done 40 miles in two weeks. Ive got a way to go
I started cycling this year, I'm 74 !! I really enjoy it ! I ride in the neighbour, there are bike trails too, or I'll ride in a park going around a lake !! Nice to see nature and people's homes !! It seems to give me energy when I'm home with chores !! And I wouldn't mind losing 20 lbs.
Agreed wholeheartedly - 1 year ago I was 225 lbs and had knee issues from a baseball injury I sustained in my teens, so every time I tried to take up running my knee would balloon up and I had to stop for a week. I switched to a vegetarian diet and took up bicycling as a low impact way to turn my commutes into a workout. After a few months I got a proper road bike and took up cycling as a hobby. Today I'm 165, and my resting heart rate has dropped from 85 to 60. I'm in the best health of my life thanks to cycling.
This man is absolutely correct. I've lost over 100 lbs from my stationary bike.
stacyboudreau123 props to you
stacyboudreau123 man I love riding its awesome
stacyboudreau123 hi Stacy! Wow! That is amazing l? Bravo to you! Please tell me more. How often and how long each time. And how long did it take you to lose 100. pounds 🌸
Good for you dog !
stacyboudreau123 wowww
I just bought a bike yesterday. I haven't been on a bike in ages. I was worried how I'd do with balance. Im recovering from knee surgery. It felt great riding. Good video.
I'm the same dude I forgot how to turn i just kept crashing into shit lmfao
Riding is so much fun. I can't believe that some people get upset about having to do that to get to work instead of being able to drive a car. I mean, on rainy or cold days I kind of get it, but I know some will complain on good days. Plus, it's not as dangerous as people sometimes think.
But don't ride the sidewalks, okay? The road actually _is_ safer if you use the bike for commute. I used to ride the sidewalks. I wrecked sooo much. I once even fell into a righthand turn lane, (the road, basically). Riding the sidewalks is also really unsafe for pedestrians. Sidewalks are too narrow, curve too suddenly, are still very closeto the road, etc., etc., etc. Bike laws exist for a reason.
Same here. I came back from New Orleans and we saw almost everybody own a bike. So when we got back from home we just happened to stopped by Marshall to because TJ Maxx forgot to take the magnet thingy. To our surprised a bike that I been saving for 3 years went on sale for $140...it was originally $500+ it was already assembled and everything. Bought it in a heartbeat. Hahahaha. I ride it today for 1 hrs and 36 min for 10 miles. Yea I fell because I forgot how hybrid mountain bikes works. But it was fun.
If you live in an area that has literally 95% of the population on the road and only 5% of the population walking on the sidewalk like I do then its totally fine to the ride on the sidewalk.
Why Cycling Is The BEST Sport for Weight Loss....because it is lot of fun...and every climb is awarded by downhill
im iam runner mtb and road biker
+Pavol Petik Ride a track bike and those downhills become a workout, too.
I do a 4 mile trek to work, which averages a 210ft uphill incline 😔 riding home is fun though. I seldom have to even pedal
Gotta love the downhills and the tailwinds 😀
Oh those downhill runs after a hard climb , bliss.
Now it's 60days of cycling ,feel like I have reclaimed my life ! ❤
❤️
Started cycling 4 months ago and it's changed the way i looked at everything! Lost weight, met some great people, and visited new places. Cycling is TOTAL freedom!
I lost my drivers license years ago and was forced to ride a bike everywhere. In retrospect it was the best thing to happen to me. I lost 40 pounds pretty quickly and got into racing. Now am an avid cyclist and at 56 yrs old am in the shape I was when I was 30.
@Alexia Zamora I was a young and dumb thrill seeker, and one of the thrills I chased was purposely getting chased by the cops on my motorcycle. Fun while it lasted however when they did finally catch up with me they threw the book at me.
Wow it happened for good
charlie dee ..mate it’s changed your life for the better still I hope, I’m in my 50,s now and need to get healthy and lose weight. You got me inspired to do this, thank you.
@@charliedee9276 Probably the decision of not having a driver's license anymore saved your life down the line. If not the life of many more around you.
In comparison, I am approaching my 30's and I've never been interested into cars and getting a driver's license. I might get one once I will get married. Until then......
But I've been a vivid bike raider since I was 17. I got myself a mountain bike, 2 city bikes, 2 road bikes and one fat bike.
From my very first job to the current job I always used my bikes to move.
During winter season when there's snow, sleet on the road I always ride my fat bike until the ice season ends. Never had issues doing so. The ride is slow but very stable.
During rains I go for my city bikes.
During sunny, dry days I go for my road bikes.
And mountain bike is for off-road fun. 5km away from my home there's a big forrest. That's where I release my adrenaline.
I am an overweight guy (morbidly obese) and this video just validated my concern why I chose cycling.
Also, this made me eat a banana. I am gonna be eating more bananas now and pedaling more often.
Well, how has it gone? What's happened during 3 years?
@@shinacohen9746 still at it. I lost some weight in 2018 but put it all back in 2019. Been shedding and shredding recently with cardios and planks and cycling. From 310 lbs in December, I am now down to 270 lbs and working on my goal to 250 by July.
@@ericjonpo that's amazing! Good luck for the rest of your journey!
Eric, just skip the car for transportation if you can reach your destination within 45 minutes relaxed biking. You"ll save fuell, lose weight and gain health, and got 90 minutes fresh air as a free bonus. So simple and so effective it can be.This is how many people in the Netherlands are doing it, even our president and our queen. Don't make it difficult for yourself and use a bike where you can sit on in a nice comfortable upright position. Also don't bike too fast, no need for sweating. If you bike on this way it can get a normal every day thing. People are made to be active, you won't feel tired but instead you feel full of energy after the trip.
@@lienbijs1205 thing is, I don't own a car hehe
So funny. I cycle miles on my Dolce for work, school, and home. I never intended for cycling to help me lose weight and just to get from point A to point B. My legs have never been so strong and toned. My calves too. My heart rate. I've lost weight and gotten mentally and physically stronger. Going fast is a plus too.
Suzie Duran you can ride my face if you fancy it ?
It that natural rush of adrenaline that surges through your body on an exhilarating ride!
I think the best sport is the sport that someone will actually do regularly. If you like rowing then do rowing. I do like cycling but I know not everyone else will. I totally agree with your video it is great for exploring. Great to see you are promoting cycling! Liked the video! :D
Peach Mango Moon ..
It s not about like, but more on something you can do often. Cycling usually works as it is also a commute option. Otherwise taking the stairs rather than the lift (use emergency stairs even) is probably the best workout for some
Thank you! I’m a newbie in cycling just started 2 weeks ago but i agree with everything you said 100%! Love, love cycling so much i can’t stop. Thanks again 😄
The perfect sport is the one you enjoy and do consistently. For people who doesn't like biking but love to dance, then dancing is better.

i noticed that too XD
After 2 years of cycling with an average of 2 rides a week, I'm almost 80lbs lighter than I was when I started. A lot of that was because of a drastic diet change. Cycling was not only physically helpful, but it pushed me mentally as well.
My greatest achievement with a bike was in 2016. I cycled around Lake Balaton with my friend. It was a 220 km journey under 12 hours. I was super happy, was playing football and basketball besides cycling plus I was lifting weights. But unfortunately I drifted off the biking road to bodybuilding and then came a knee injury in November 2017. Doctors in my country dont care about "smaller" injuries like patellar tendonitis. I was crying like hell when I heard: "You need to learn living with it." I couldnt accept it. I fell into a depressive mood lasting for months. Sport was my life. I was smoking cigarettes, drinking every weekend under the name of "enjoying life"... i had attempts of getting out of this hell hole but I always found myself back again... Everytime I did something I had to stop because the pain in my knee. but in this month Ive decided that Im gonna get out of this. I started cycling again, which keeps my knee pain free👐❤ cycling 20-30 kms everyday slowly increasing the volume. and I have a goal set to August... Cycling Lake Balaton around in one day again. Im motivated more than ever. Im planning on making a video about my journey. Cycling truly changed my life!❤👐👐
I started cycling properly about 5 years ago after reconstructive surgery on my knee. Since then I have lost over 5 stone in weight and am fitter than I have ever been, 46 years old and still going strong. I would recomend cycling to anyone.
I'm in my early 50's and am one of a handful of cycle couriers in my area on ALL platforms i.e Just Eat, Delivero an Uber Eats. Plus i have a titanium replacement heart valve since contracting endocarditis in 2015. Never felt more energetic. Cycling is fab!
your exactly my personality type damn. Cycling is for me. I love just getting on the bike and exploring new roads like you said. that's the best
I'm just starting out in the world of cycling
+Andrew Radakovitz I wish you well in all your bike journeys and that you will find lots of buddies to socialize and ride with in the world of cycling. Oh, and don't let all the haters of bike riders get to you. I think the worse thing anyone can do to someone is to discourage a person in what they personally desire to do and accomplish in life. This world has way too many negative lives in it.
Where I ride on my bike here in San Diego is either in designated Bike lanes or the back streets through neighborhoods as for short cuts where through traffic is not prevalent. The City has been increasing designated bike lanes here in San Diego which makes it a tad safer than before, but like you said, still gotta watch out for cars!
I know what you mean, I have seen (even recently) cars deliberately driving into the bike lanes; likes it's like they don't have enough room on the road to begin with?
I used to mountain bike, but I gave that up the past few years ago. Now, I have been a roadie the last several years. Here in San Diego, there are no cars allowed on the dirt trails (they are within our Canyon areas). The only type of car is allowed on the dirt trails here are Government City and Park care takers or natural landscape inspectors.
I'm really having trouble finding a good bike. I want something good for exercise (speed), but in the $100-200 range. I'm really new to this. I also don't know what I'm supposed to wear. I always see people with these compression gear. I usually wear a white t-shirt and shorts when exercising.
I prefer yoga, but I bike around town to get groceries sometimes.
You can go up a tall hill and lose weight then ride your bike down the hill and have fun= win win
B2BG TeQo Totaly AGREE
I started cycling to deal with my issues and problems . The weight loss came second . When I ride I'm free my mind is at ease . I'm constantly pushing myself . I used to weigh 300 lbs now im 206 . Its done wonders for my self esteem. If there is a heaven I hope that there is a bicycle there so I can ride for eternity.
Honestly the furthest i can run continuously is 0.5 miles and the furthest I can bike is 14 miles
That's still 14 miles more than someone sitting on a couch. It only improves from here on out.

Just use your body as it was intended, walk to the shops , go cycling , play team sports, go to the gym, walk up a mountain do whatever you want. If people are too lazy and idle then no amount of preaching is going to shift their arses from the TV set. Anyone with a basic understanding knows that exercise loses weight ! just limit the food you throw down your neck and have some self discipline and restraint or you will achieve nothing.
+Paul Martin Gyms are a waste of time for most people you can pedal all winter on a indoor trainer. Hit that first real outdoors hill and you're wasted after 50m climbing.
Athletes can eat.all kind of stuff and don't get fat, most of them.at least. It's consuming more.than you burn that causes weight gain. The more sedentary you are the more weight you tend to gain.
Paul Martin
“Shift their asses from the TV set”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Since I came out of my coma I have been walking than riding bikes now jogging but I like biking more !! Never give up woohoo.
Cycling is fun! I take my bike where ever I wanna go to that is reachable :-) But my best results with weight maintaining and bodyshape I always had with a little running plus regular, mindful and healthy yoga, bodyweight and streching sequences! I am 31 and my body did not chance much from when I was 18 with this method ;)
About 20 years ago, dropped 25 pounds in two months on a mtn bike doing ten miles a day. Met my future wife, added 50 pounds in the meantime and just bought another bike this afternoon. Starting over but with all the technology, HRM's, and social sites hoping it will keep me motivated.
Yes. Cycling for the win! :)) much love Tino!
I am 66 years and have had both knees replace. I brought me a bike and will start riding it this week. It's been over 40 years since riding a bike. Pray for me as I get started.
"BEST Sport for Weight Loss" is running, but cycling is better :-)
I started commuting to work
in my MTB cause my car's engine was blown and even though i have always love MTBiking but this time I had no choice but to ride everywhere I needed to go
and I swear I was waist size 36/38
and after almost 7 months of commuting 20 miles daily to work in my bike I went back to waist size 30/29, never in my life
I thought I was gonna be 30/29 again
like back in early 20's
I also I eat a lot more, I didnt make anychanges on my diet yet my weight went down, i guess its all about exercising constantly and by the way I lost 26 pounds during this time frame
I find however, after many years of triathlon training, that after tons and tons of cycling/swimming/running I stop losing weight and plateau every year every time. I think this has to do with your body adapting to it. Need to mix in High intensity interval training and weights. But I agree cycling is awesome.
I can bike for 3 hours and feel great, no injuries. I can run for 30 minutes and I'm limping for 2 days.
Ha ha so true! Me too! I always get injuries from my running and than I have to do biking because of my injuries!
Haha limping for two days after a 30min run?
NO WAY...
I have been jogging every single day, even through a blizzard with snow past my knees @ points, since June 5th,2014.
well...it's Oct.15th 2015 now! I do these basic jogs daily and only times I have ever had problems with limping/pain was due to running in worn down shoes....or the first time I went for 1-2hrs.
I wanted to do a 3hr jog this year, but ugh I have been lazy. maybe I'll end up doing it before the snow comes.
Good Luck on your biking journey! Maybe I'll get a stationary bike for this winter.
i ride 10 km bike 6 time a week a day by day i can see changes in my body my legs got stronger and i feel awesome with every ride i would like to suggest everyone who wanna lost weight try cycling
I always loved biking, i would literally go anywhere with it even though I always struggled with my breathing after about 2 minutes doing it. Now I had to quit the gym after finding out I have two bulging disc and biking is my way out to keep exercising. Although I’m not in a good physical shape to ride long distance I’m really excited to start changing this and making biking a habit 💪🏽
If you're riding a cycle basically in india (jahan me rehta hoon)
If u fall 1 time then u will think that cycling is not a low impact sport
I also cycle everyday
And lost kinda 4-5 pounds week
And

Is Strava on android? I'm thinking of getting an android phone
Yes
yes and it works great
or you can get exercise bike and not worry of being made into a road pancake.
+Hodor I knew if Hodor ever said anything other than "Hodor," it would be to expound upon the merits of indoor training on the turbo. F yeah!
Paid Shill that ain't fun
My dad kinda ruined cycling since he made me do it everyday, but I'll give it a try :P
The main reason that cycling is great for weight loss is that it maximally exploits the uniquely human evaporative air cooling system (We are designed for endurance performance). That is, the harder you work, the faster the air flows around you, the faster the rate of evaporation from your skin and the more cooling you get. In other words, it is practically impossible to overheat no matter how hard you work. This means that cycling offers you the absolute fastest rate of calorie burn of any exercise bar none. This translates to the greatest weight loss for the least time investment and the least heat stress discomfort, you don't even realise your sweating till you stop. For this reason, there is no other exercise that can burn calories as fast for as long as cycling can.
I think swimming has a similar effect - low impact and you don’t notice your sweating or even that you muscles are as exhausted as they are until your out of the pool.- But cycling is more fun and accessible
Stop harassing me, dude, I can't afford a bike right now! Thanks for posting ; )
It's been 3 years. Hopefully you have a bike by now
Its been 5 years now friend. Have a bike now? I am planning of buying a MTB. Just went to the store today
I bought, and then sold, a bike. Cycling isn't for me, I guess : (
@@tamcon72 oh ok 😎❤ glad to hear from u regardless dude
I used to jog a lot and lost a lot of weight but it was always hard on my knees and I never enjoyed it. Now I only cycle and have also lost a lot of weight but I'm no longer sore and it's way more fun.
i disagree....rollerblading is better:) but all the same benifits you talk about for sure
Plant Basics and you wont look anorexic
fair enough...but im talking more around town. I soak a shirt way quicker then i would biking. But i like skating so to each thier own right:)
Plant Basics I tried rollerblading once, it was terrible. Riding bike is much more clumsy friendly. Of course this is my opinion.
lol right i forgot.... only when we start putting on
jersys and tight shorts i agree;) but thats normal for cycling right? I doubt that fly at the skate parks i hang out in.
I bought a bike at 420 lbs. when i got to 350 i bought another bike that i thought was cooler. Ill buy another bike when im at 280 and in shape. I agree with this but I had to get a diet plan first because you can ride all you want but if u keep eating mcdonalds u wont lose the weight.
+Plant Based Analyst:1. I started biking with a $78 Walmart bike. I also see decent bikes at yard sales all the time. I've even had people offer me free bikes. 2. Not everyone enjoys cycling, because not everyone enjoys the same things. Personally, I'd rather be outside, riding TO somewhere, rather than be indoors on a treadmill staring at the wall. Cycling is one of the few exercise programs I could actually stick with. Also, people may not enjoy cycling at first, because they are unsure of themselves. Find a friend who bikes and ride with them. 3. I also work and have many, many grownup responsibilities. So that's just silly. Also, if you have kids, take them along. Biking is a very family-friendly activity. 4. Yes, winter biking can be difficult, but only because we Americans aren't used to seeing it. In Copenhagen, there are more bicyclists in that one city, than in the entire USA. In one city. A cold weather city. 5. Riding in traffic is dangerous, you are correct. You can wear proper safety gear , like a helmet, put lights on your ride, or just bike in parks, off the road where there are no cars. And I totally agree with you, you don't NEED all the bells and whistles. I had a cheap bike, remember? But you can start small and graduate to those things when you can afford them if that's what you want.
The best reason I like bicycling is it's one of the few sports that men and women can participate together without worrying about somebody being left behind because of gender.
I have the same Vegan cycling shirt.
I want one! Looks great. Where from?
Here's a link for the men's shirt- hillkiller.com/mens/team-vegan-1324 . They also have one for ladies too on the site.
+The Veggie Nut I'm pretty sure most vegans wear clothing that tells everyone their vegan. I'm pretty sure they think people care. I'm very sure we don't. Real cyclists eat fish and omelets.
The Veggie Nut So what fuck off
Vegans seem angry all the time.
Wrong it's the best for continued weight loss, but to start you must first reach the maximum weight the bike will allow, so walk and swim first🤓😝🧐
"plus it's a great way to stay in shape"
family guy
Dear All,
Hope every one is fine,
My health condition is in obesity because my height is 1,86 cm and weight is 121kg so i would like to start cycle biking every day which will take 34 km round trip. Does biking lose my weight if yes so which cycle will be better meanwhile my weight is high.
I wouldn't say your obese
Eat less and you'll lose weight. Exercise alone won't control weight unless you spend inordicate time exercising. For instance you'd have to ride for an hour to work off a few cookies. Better to just not eat the cookies.
I rode 20 miles yesterday and enjoyed it, but I don't do it for weight loss.
+1 for you. I've lost 40 pounds in the past couple years (6'1", 268 lbs to 228ish), partially by getting off my cubicle-fattened ass and riding, but also by controlling my diet.
It's not easy and exercise helps, especially if you find a fun activity like cycling, but it's not the whole answer. Losing weight begins in the kitchen.
What I meant is that the role of exercise is more to curb the appetite, and not so much to burn calories. At least that's how it works in my case.
Let me put it this way: If I count the calories I expended exercising they'd never add up to a significant weight loss. There has to be a reduction in food intake and probably a dietary change to accomplish anything of significance. But riding a bike (or walking, swimming, or whatever) helps make this possible far more effectively than being a couch potato.
That's why you incorporate activity into every bit of your day you can. Exercise does things dieting cannot like building muscle and raising metabolism. If being sweaty is not an issue when at work, then cycle to work. If it is, then see about cleaning up at work. Cycle to stores, the doctor (if possible), to the bank, to public events, and to restaurants.
PrivateEyeYiYi exercise is more important b3cwuse if you burn the calories you consume you won't gain weight. Sedentary life style will make u gain weight gradually unless u starve yourself.
It is rare to hear of athletes being fat and they eat a lot of calories
Cycling is bad for the Economy
A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy - He does not buy the car & does not take car loan - Does not buy car insurance - Does not buy Fuel - Does not send his car for servicing & repairs - Does not use paid Parking - Does not become Obese - Yes,.....and well, damn it !! Healthy people are not needed for economy. They do not buy drugs. They do not go to Hospitals & Doctors. They add nothing to country's GDP. On the contrary, every new McDonald outlet creates at least 30 jobs - 10 Cardiologists, 10 Dentists, 10 weight loss experts apart from people working in McDonald outlet. Choose wisely: A Cyclist or a McDonald ? Worth thinking. 🤔🤔😀😀
PS. Runners are even worse. they do not even buy a bicycle.
Mr X
Underrated comment
You had me until you said "Vegan" .
Yikes, how close minded.
Being vegan is not for everyone including myself.
@@Jake-zl8rl its a plus when youre a vegan that dummies avoid you like the plague lol
Meat is murder
Tasty, tasty murder
Excellent video, thank you so much!
That’s why I started. I’ve lost 110 lbs in less than a year. I will continue cycling the rest of my life, simply because I love it! 😎👍
I like to ride bikes but the seats always hurt my butt bone
Take a reclining bike. They have a very large seat, so your weight is distributed, instead of focused on your butt bone. Start with a cheap used one, learn what you want different, and then buy a good one.
Cheers,
Cedric
Get padded shorts and a seat that fits your butt.
Thank you for the tips guys!!
I have the same problem even though I have a wide, cushioned seat and kind of a big rump. I found that if I angle the seat down it helps take the pressure off my tailbone and I tend lift off the seat.
this has been a great video to watch. i've ridden since March and have lost 49 pounds by riding and watching my calories. strava and my fitness pal are a deadly combination for weight loss.
Fasted bike rides. If you commute by bike, do it Fasted. Quality oatmeal with nuts, cranberries, and blueberries almost daily. Don’t eat breakfast until noon, and make your last meal at 6/7 ish.
Cut the bread and cut the sugar.
Screw that I eat an entire $5 little ceasar pizza wait an hour and Bomb out 50 miles. Then I eat lots of tuna and Turkey subs with veggies when I'm done.
So.. basically Keto and IF (which TOTALLY works btw)
Fiona Ndanu keto ish
Lots of protein about 80-100 mg of carbs and maybe 20% calories from saturated fats..
@@mtnbikehead Yeah those carbs are way too high. So why not just go all the way keto for maximum benefits?
Fiona Ndanu my weight is now exactly where I want it to be. My bloodwork, Health, fitness, vO2 Max, post workout recovery, heart rate variability,, vital signs, endurance, all really good, best in 20 years. I have done full keto, but found my peaks during exercise were seriously blunted; fine for endurance rides where I limit high intensity during a workout. I do full keto when I can’t workout, so only a few days a month.. I can do mod intensity workouts while fasted, so I am already very well fat adapted. I don’t need to be full keto.
Good, sensible tips. Nicely done and no need for endless, repetitive profanity. Good on you.
*cough cough* durianrider *cough cough*
I feel it is because i can cycle for an hour or two without getting bored, super tired, or sore.
The BEST Sport for Weight Loss is NOT to eat )))) No energy = no fat ))
I am 82 kgs starting cycling from tomorrow wish me good luck
you spend $700 on a bike (now im out) now i need to spend 1k on garmins... its $1700 to lose a few pounds
pretty much. You can always get a cheapo hybrid bike from Academy instead of a road/mountain bike. The exercise is still just as good if you choose a good route. I'm getting ready to buy a $400 mountain bike after I get my tax return, which is still a lot of money, but I know it's something I love doing and I will get my money's worth out of it. The point here is that you should go for a less expensive bicycle for at least a year before upgrading to something more expensive, that way you know for sure that it is something that you are going to enjoy and use for both exercise and entertainment. The only one you don't want to cheap out on is a mountain bike - and by that I mean Walmart mountain bike because they aren't really built for rough handling and you could get hurt.
Bloo Tube you can get a used garmin 500 for like 100 bucks
I bought a diamondback "fitness" bike. $250. Downloaded Strava. Free. Bought an activity tracker. $50. Tune up at local bike shop. $75. $375 all in.....30 pounds down....best investment ever. Forgot about my handlebar mounted cell phone holder. $20. $395 all in
not necessary to spend that much money, bought a great mountain bycke at a garage sale for 25 bucks they are all over the place for sale for under 100. a garmin is an unecessary item for bycking but if you want to blow your wad go right ahead. if you need a garmin to go bycking better stay home and use a stationary
you dont need to spend 1k on garmins use your head just get onyour bike and ride, didnt need to spend 700 on a bike either use your head. i got a 700 dollar mtb for 25 on a garage sale
I Road Cycle doing around 2500 miles a year which isn"t a lot compared to some but i absolutely love it. I prefer Cycling on my own to be honest and for fitness you can"t beat it.
As for Strava, be careful,..............it can become Addictive, my Downhill Segments are Bordering on Reckless.
what color lipstick do you use
Here in the UK during winter it's pitch black when I go to work, and pitch black after work, and usually raining, with cars flying past me at 70 mph. It's not impossible but realistically it's dangerous. No "fun filled adventures" to be had during the week that's for sure. I usually just pull my runners on after work and go blast a 40 minutes run with my favourite music. Best advice I can give is set a performance goal and work towards it. Cut out alcohol and watch what you eat. And before you say "well why dont you quit your job then", cyclists wouldn't have smooth tarmac'ed roads to cycle on without people like me who wake up in the dark and work my arse off
I've been using my wife's peloton for a week now. I really like it
I bought a road bike for the same reason, much more fun way to exercise and it's rewarding to see you get faster and more fit.
I've been trying to lose weight for some time now with no result. So I ordered Weight loss green store tea and was surprised when my doctor told me that I had lost over 15 pounds in less than three months! I will be ordering it again!
+Nousred Hatimi Great...great, great! I've been searching for the right kind of supplement and finally I've stumbled across this one!
+Gregg Altus No longer fat because of this. Over the course of just three months of working out and eating fruits and veggies, I lost up to 18 lbs.
+Nousred Hatimi You needed a doctor to tell you this? Spamy Green tea advert why not just drink water. I got headaches drinking Green Tea guess they did not use Green pesticides.
Weight loss green store tea was a very easy way to lose weight, since all I had to do was to remember to drink the tea as scheduled, and that'll be that. I really like the effect that this has on me and I will be taking it some more.
+Elsaas Kumar Wow. Perfect product
I was worried that I weighed too much to ride a bike but I’ve been riding everyday and it’s a lot of fun
"Ride a flat road by the beach" thats what i do near palm coast
Excellent, this is the reason we bought bikes! We have the new Trek 1120 and I got the Trek Powerfly5 which helps me a lot!
I'm subscribing now!
Please come by and see our bikes and videos posted on my UA-cam channel and Please Subscribe back (looking to grow)! And, I'm on Strava as RZR Sharp Productions! Thanks for the info!
I definitely agree about cycling, but lock your diet in FIRST before anything. Vegan is obviously among the best ways to go.
nice video , i like to use Runkeeper app for tracking my cycling and Jogging
Honestly you're right, I've lost a fair amount of weight riding my trek bike to my friends and back without even realizing the amount of weight I was losing. I was so caught up on the thrill of getting to point a from point b, it's so much fun
It's true I lost fifteen pounds in a week on a bike, since I cannot run due to a back injury, I strap a Bluetooth speakers on my handle bars and download lots of music to listen to at night . I wear a black spandex catsuit for the compression for my injured back and tired legs, people think you're gay for wearing a catsuit but it takes a real man to do it.
Hey i want to buy a bike for fitness, i read MTBs are easy to padel and are fast... But i love Fat Bikes, and i heard Fat Bikes are hard to padel and are not fast... I want to ride my bike on roads, may be sometimes off road. Should i buy MTB with plus size tyre or should i go for fat bikes coz i like it more. Are fat bikes practical??
I've been cycling around 24km every day, this is going great
I've tried both extensively and i love both running and cycling. Currently i am more into running as i just managed my first marathon and have my eye set on trailultras, but i always come back to cycling. I just took my dusty bike to a shop to get tuned and bad parts switched and im super excited. I'm fit and light now , but it was cycling that catapulted me into this level of fitness in one season i lost over 20 kilos and since then i haven't gained any for 10 years. I could never start running more seriously with that much weight on initially.
Ofc im even leaner now obviously because of running 80 kms a week but i find a well placed bike ride to be absolutely invigorating. It's great if you wanna loose weight, great for crosstraining after a long resting running season or just recovering from a marathon or for a taper. When you get to be more advanced cardio athlete it's great to choose one of the activites as a main and use the other in moderation to break the grind!
Why cycling is bad for lazy people:
1. You have to wash your bike
2. You have to lube your chain
3. You have to pump air to your tires
4. You have to change flat tires
I literally ride my bike every single day and I love it! I even use just for errands and other things. I take it to work, I take it to the beach, I take it everywhere! Sometimes I even plan long trips for my bike, like going from Los Angeles to the Inland Empire and back just for fun.
I've seen results just using my bike to get around campus and taking trips on the weekend. I bike at least 10 miles a day. I don't even notice and now all my thigh day gone.
My god, I'm the gay guy, and even I don't wear that shade of red! Lol! (Sorry, couldn't resist). Cycling is THE BEST THING ON EARTH!!!!! It's saved my life more then once! I'm a 48 year old Toronto guy, been cycling since I was a kid. At 20, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, colon cancer, depression, and many others....my colon burst, killing me for 2 minutes, when I was only 21, and since then, have had 33 brutal surgeries and have spent a good chunk of my adult life in the hospital (but I kicked cancers ass, twice!!)....how did I survive when I was suppose to die you ask? CYCLING! No words could possibly describe the hell I've been through, but as soon as I was able, I'd get back on my bike and ride until I had to have another surgery. It not only kept me in shape, but my doctor said point blank, it literally saved my life. He said most patients with my illnesses just become a couch potato, but because of my love of cycling, I healed my body 70% faster then anyone else. Even on those days I was doubled over in pain, I forced myself to ride, and always felt better after. Toronto is flat as a pancake, from here all the way to Niagara Falls (which is only about 80kms from my house). So, I'd just put the ear buds in, tune the iPod to my favourite tunes, and just ride. No matter how bad I felt, within minutes, it was just me, the wind, my music, and all the beautiful nature that our trails have, especially the lake front trails (there's a trail that runs along Lake Ontario, from Toronto to Niagara Falls, it's part of the trans Canada trail), and I was free from all my worries. I can't imagine my life without it, unless I need to go somewhere fast, I leave the car at home, and ride, keeping all my lightweight gear if I want to camp out for a few days. It's free therapy, a great way to stay in shape, and after a while, it's truly effortless, even the challenging rides become just another adventure. To make it simple, I just ensure my bikes are tuned up every few months (I have a road, hybrid, and mountain bike, all bought at Cyclepath here in Toronto, where you get 4 free tune ups a year for the life of the bike), keep extra supplies, because they really come in handy when you get a flat in the middle of farm country, or tear your shorts, p,us all medical supplies...actually, because I've now only 5% of my entire gastrointestinal tract left, I seldom need to stop, my rearranged anatomy allows me to drink gallons of water without ever having to go to the bathroom (it's a long story, but being gutless has its advantages!). So I encourage everyone, regardless of age or health, to get out there. I suppose it's not for everyone, but for me, it's my reason for living! FYI...yes, it can get expensive, but once you hook up with other cycling friends and clubs, you can find so many ways to save a fortune. I've gone through 15 bikes over the past 30 years, but I cycle a minimum of 50k/day, usually about 100 though, it's hard on some bikes...oh yeah, a word of advice, when buying a bike, don't go for cheap, it may cost a bit more, but you get what you pay for. The cheap frames tend to crack on the welds, my favourite is my current DaVinci hybrid. It's a Canadian company, but man they make a great bike, at a low price (got lucky, it's a large frame, which is my size, but was a metallic rust colour, so it didn't sell, guess I'm the only guy who loves the colour, but I picked it up for only $1500!, normal price was $3300, but since I've bought so many bikes from this place, he gave me a deal, and it's a reinforced carbon nanotube alloy, light as hell, but stronger then anything on the market). I've put about 30 000 kilometres on it, and only had to replace the things that always wear out. I've had to replace the tires and brake pads (I've never liked disc brakes, too many problems and can't handle my often aggressive rides) about a dozen times, but other then that, zero problems, what's your favourite brand(s)???
