Question Stationary Bike or Treadmill?
Please can u give me your opinion.. I do my cardio at home.. I only have room for either an Exercise bike or a treadmill/running machine.. which one would burn off calories the best? I need to burn the calories off my stomache the most will the Treadmill (which inclines) be better than the bike?

Re: Stationary Bike or Treadmill?
BTW... thru healthy diet and excercise and weights for the last 5 weeks I have lost 16lbs of fat and gained 1" on my arms and chest and lost 2" off belly.. I'm well happy but feel the belly is holding onto the most fat and want to decide about the treadmill as I wonder if the bike will burn the fat off my stomache! Cheers.

Re: Stationary Bike or Treadmill?
A treadmill burns considerably more calories than a bike.

Re: Stationary Bike or Treadmill?
Either would do fine.

You cant spot reduce fat tho mate.

It depends how intensely you workout as to how many calories you would burn, its really just a personal choice.

I would go for a threadmill, but thats just me

Re: Stationary Bike or Treadmill?
walk!, outside- get fresh air, put on ipod or similar with good fast tunes and get out in the fresh air-is free and burns loads of fat sorry if sounds simple but is most effective imo

cheers Paulo.. I would but I dont live near the country where the air is fresh, only by main roads in town and theres no countryside around here and the park is tiny. Its no fun walking along the roadside. But also I want some cardio equiptment at home as its good to have for convenience as well.. and cheaper than using gym equiptment on cardio days I want to increase my cardio as well.. so I can do this before breakfast every day and evenings instead of sitting and watching TV when I'm home.

Re: Stationary Bike or Treadmill?
This might just be me but on the bike i burn about 140-odd callories in 10 minutes, on the tredmill i burn about or just under 200 in 10 minutes, its a big difference

and tredmills excerise your arms and legs aswell so why not

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
