Can you lose weight by riding a bike for 40 minutes every day?
Not necessarily, it needs specific analysis.

Reason:

1, the effect of cycling to lose weight depends on how you exercise. Although cycling is aerobic exercise, it has slimming effect, but it is definitely thin without exercise.

2. The key to decide whether to lose weight by cycling is the heart rate during exercise, which must reach 65%-75% of the maximum heart rate to lose weight. In this heart rate range, the body will enter the fat burning zone, that is, the body will break down a lot of fat for energy supply. When you don't enter this area, even if you ride for a long time, your body will only break down the sugar in your body to get energy. Glycogen will consume light and break down muscles to get energy, but it won't break down fat at all, so there is no slimming effect.

3. People who ride or run to lose weight are generally advised to wear a heart rate meter to check their heart rate at any time and whether they are in the fat burning area.
