TBH 40mins on a bike at 65% of Max heart rate 4 times a week will suffice. Don't be afraid to mix it up to google HIIT (high intensity interval training) it is harder to do but takes less time and boosts your metabolism for longer. Remember that diet is way more important. Good luck, Jock |

| 5 and half stone down, 4 and a half more to go! | Re: best for fat loss 30 Mins am cardio (second you wake up) on a bike with out eating. Best way to burn fat, well thats what I have found and also 35 mins cross trainer in evening. Diet is king too. Eating 6 times a day small sizes is good! |

Don't make the mistake of most and jump straight into an experienced gym-goers routine and burn yourself out as well as not being able to get great results on less work ![]() | |

![]() | Re: best for fat loss Well if you found 20 minutes hard work, do 20 minutes one week, then if you still find it difficult, do it the week after as well, then knock it up to 30, then 40. If you've never really done cardio before i wouldn't push your heart through too much, just take it easy and like everyones said, a good diet !! good luck ![]() |
