Confused about weight loss

[lukesdad]

Hang on a minute. we re trying to help someone to loose weight here who has nt grasped MHR yet. Interval training has its uses dont get me wrong, But in this instance its not the correct route to follow and who are all " these people suggesting it is"?

Many more, but yes, ok Ambling along at 15 mph for hour on end is the sensible option.

What I cant understand jim is.. why you cycle to work (and possibly to the gym) then go on the stationary bike?

Firstly too much cycling can only add to the boredom and secondly the gym bike will be nowhere as comfortable as your own bike setup.

Not exactly "cutting edge" is it. All they are promoting is using High intensity to boost the HR in the recovery periods. A quick fix if you like. One for the suits in their lunch breaks.

My previous posts still stands. Sustained aerobic state. Is the best course for the OP. Its actually a lot higher BPM than most people appreciate.

There is a lot more to it, than these people suggest. The body and how it works is avery complicated subject.

Fair enough, were never going to agree.

My advice for the OP, do what you feel most comfortable doing.

My advice to the OP, watch what you eat (ish), and each time you go out try and push enough to get breathless. Try and go out every day.

It worked for me....

(and still does)

To answer your queerie, and Lukesdad's comment...

"There are NO HILLS in the West Midlands."

If I'm going to get through The Castleton Classic 200 Audax, my commute ride is not tough enough.
There are two 10% hills on my commute; and if I tackle them at 400+ Watts, they only last seconds.
