...burn off? So I bought a recumbent exercise bike last week and am really enjoying it. However, I have no idea how long I should be on it or how many calories I should be trying to burn.
The reason I want to know this is because I bought this bike to help me lose weight. I'm 5'8 and roughly 200 lb. Based on this, what should I be aiming for on my bike?
I try to use it, overall, for about an hour and a half to two hours each day (usually for about 30 minutes at a time), and I've noticed that according to my bike, I seem to be doing 300-400 calories per day. Should this be what I am aiming for? More? Less?
And if it means anything, I almost only drink water now since getting my bike, and I try to keep my eating to be fairly healthy.
