exercise bike workout programs
Why am I losing inches but not weight?
Since September, I have adopted a vigorous workout program (4-5 times a week, elliptical for 30 min at 7.5 mph and recumbent bike for 30 min, heart rate on both usually btwn 180 and 195) and have been eating a lot healthier than before. My clothes feel a bit looser and everyone tells me I am looking skinnier, but I have not lost a single pound!
Am I working out TOO hard? Am I failing to lose weight and just building muscle I don't really want? I really want to lose about 20 pounds and I am discouraged that my months of exercise and diet are not working....
Do I need to stay at a certain heart rate to lose fat/weight? Does having too high a heart rate during exercise impede weight loss?
Also, I do the elliptical and bike each at a resistance of 5...do I need to do these machines at lower resistance do lose weight and burn fat as opposed to just turning fat into muscle? I really want to burn some fat/pounds, not just gain muscle!
Fat is burned at a lower hear-rate. Instead of such a vigorous pace, try and easier pace where you can talk to someone without gasping for breath, but you are still sweating. Also, up the time from 30 to 45 minutes or even an hour at this pace. Give yourself a couple days of rest in there so you don't burn out.
