I can walk / jog on treadmill for 60 minutes and the calories spent are 360 but when I ride on the bike for 60mins it displays double that amount?? But I have heard numerous times that a treadmill is better, can someone try and explain this to me?
Answer
I will answer off of experience. I was 230 pounds 5 months ago because I just had a baby. I am now 160 pounds. Trust me, i have tried just about everything you can think of. I realized that I tone better running 20-30 minutes on the treadmill rather than doing an hour on any other cardio machine. My stomach use to hang over and looked disgusting. now, it is as hard as a rock. I know you are thinking, "Well that was baby fat and that would have went away anyway." No. I know the difference between baby fat and stubborn fat which, that is another subject. Anyway I also combined my exercise program with the At kins diet and weight training. I have realized that when I use to do an hour on the other cardio machines I was burning muscle and i was just looking flabby.But when I run on the treadmill and lift weights I am lean and toned. I am still losing weight. I am so confident that in the next two weeks, I know that I will be smaller and more tone.

Stationary bike vs treadmill for fat loss?
John
Are both pretty much as effective as the other as both are cardio and there is no such thing as spot reduction
Answer
the advantange on the treadmill might be that there is more of your bodyweight involved in the exercise because you are standing.
i still pick an exercise bike. i have a recumbent exercise bike sitting in front of a TV and it is quiet enough that i can hear the TV without having to turn it up really loud. a treadmill is noisy by comparison.
i've ridden my exercise bike for 3yrs usually 45mins average and probably only skip riding it about once a month because i feel good after riding it. no way would i walk on a treadmill almost every day.
so whatever a person will use is the best to pick for exercise and fat loss.
