CYCLING VS. RUNNING CALORIES


Cycling and running are both good exercises for burning calories. As with other physical activities, the number of calories burned depends on how much you weigh and how vigorously you perform the activity. In general, the more you weigh, the more calories you burn. You also burn more calories as you increase the rate at which you cycle or run.

Considerations

The calculations used here are for a person weighing approximately 150 to 160 lbs. Persons who weigh more will burn more calories than those listed, and persons who weigh less will burn fewer calories. The numbers of calories burned are estimates, and thus, they aren't exact. Use the estimates to help you compare the number of calories burned when cycling and running for your specific weight and level of activity.

Cycling

If you bicycle at a speed less than 10 miles per hour, which is a leisurely pace, you burn approximately 280 to 290 calories per hour. Cycle between 10 and 14 miles per hour -- a light to moderate pace -- and you'll burn from 420 to 560 calories per hour. Bicycle at a vigorous rate of 14 to 16 miles per hour and you'll burn about 700 calories an hour. Stationary cycling burns fewer calories than biking outdoors. For example, light stationary cycling burns 387 calories per hour, compared to 422 per hour for light outdoor cycling. At the moderate level, cycling outdoors burns about 70 more calories per hour than stationary cycling.

Running

Running or jogging at 5 miles per hour burns 560 to 600 calories per hour. If you increase your speed to 8 to 9 miles per hour, you should burn 950 to 1,000 calories per hour, and at 10 to 11 miles per hour, you'll burn from 1,120 to 1,270 calories per hour. Cross-country running burns about 633 calories per hour, and running up stairs burns 1,056.

Comparison

When performed at approximately the same speeds, running burns about twice as many calories as cycling. If your main concern is getting the most out of your workout in terms of calories burned, running is your best choice. However, running may be harder on your joints than cycling, especially if you are overweight. Cycling keeps the weight off your knees and ankles. Another point to consider is that running doesn't require any special equipment other than a good pair of shoes. For cycling, you need to own a bike or have access to one.

Cycling is good exercise. Burn off those calories while biking.


It is time to start burning the calories. Bike riding is one of the best exercises.

Cycling is a great form of exercise for many people, especially for people over 40. It can be used for weight loss or weight management. Much of it depends on how far you pedal and how vigorously you pedal, much the same as any other physical activity.
I personally ride the bike to lose weight and to make my heart work harder, so I will ride the bike more vigorously than most.

Buying a bicycle is a major decision, well not as major as a house or car, you still want it to last and you want to get the most out of it. Also check out my selection of Electric Bikes, these will solve many of your spring and summer commuter problems.

How to use the bike to Burn Calories

There are several ways to increase your resistance if you want to burn calories. One of the best ways is to go up hill. This will escalate your heart rate and have you huffing and puffing before you know it.

To get maximum benefit, choose a resistance between 70-80 revolutions per minute. RPM stands for "Revolutions Per Minute". For RPM on an outdoor bicycle, simply count the number of pedal strokes you take in a minute. And set the gears accordingly.

Another method of burning calories is to lower your gears a notch or two to increase the resistance, so you have to pedal a little harder.
Don't look at going down a hill as time to take a breather, but as a way to pedal as fast as you can.
You should also consider lowering your calorie intake, to really lose some weight.

Road Bikes are One of the Best Ways to Lose Weight

Road or Racing Bikes are made for speed. While mountain bikes can be used to burn calories, racing or road bikes are the best. They are lighter than mountain bikes, and you can really fly on asphalt on these racing bikes. Remember the faster that you can pedal, the more calories that you can burn. 

I Started Riding a Bicycle When I was Just a Kid

It was my chief source of transportation.

Cycling is an excellent form of exercise, especially for people over 40 years of age. It is much easier on the joints than jogging or aerobics. People over seventy after surgery are still able to cycle. It also allows you to deal with high blood pressure.
The nice thing about cycling is that you can go at the speed that you want. If you want a good vigorous work out, you will burn a lot of calories, and if you want a more leisurely ride, you will burn calories, but nothing like the vigorous bike ride.

You can burn almost as many calories as jogging, and that is why I now cycle. It is much gentler on the joints than jogging or aerobics. It is great for people who want to get into shape, especially for those that have had a long period of inactivity. I highly recommend it for anybody over forty. With any form of exercise, the more resistance, the more calories you burn. I am lucky to have a lot of hills where I live, and it can be quite a task to get up some of these hills, but I do it. I work up a good sweat and feel it in my legs. You should try and cycle no less than 4 days a week for the best effects.
But Please talk to your doctor first!


The bicycle was my main method of transportation. I would use it for my paper route, to go fishing, to visit my friends, etc. My father was not into driving me around, like modern day parents, and my mother didn't learn to drive until she was somewhere around 40, and by then I had my own car. Nobody told me about the exercise benefit about racing my friends down the hill, or down the street. I went by a middle school a year ago, and there were absolutely no bikes on the bike stand! Parents in my day were demanding that more bike stands be provided by the school, because kids would have to lay their bikes on the ground. I was proud of my bike, I was pretty fast.
We would also take our bikes up the Cascades following fishing streams to fish, and this was long before mountain biking was popular. Sometimes, we would come down the logging roads to be met by the cops who were out looking for us. Even though my father was overly strict, he never gave me heck for these excursions and he never forbade me to do it again, he just suggested that I try to get home a little earlier.
There were many years that I never rode a bike. I took up jogging, weight lifting, tennis, and other sporting endeavors. I had to give up jogging because of shin splints. Unfortunately, while I was jogging, the running shoes were appalling, there was no scientific analysis about the pavement and shock on the knees or legs, or I might have continued. It was weight lifting and nautilus after that.
I rediscovered the benefits of cycling when I was looking at a way to burn some fat, that I had managed to accumulate after only 3 years.

We never had BMX Bicycles

But I love to watch them when they are doing their stunts

BMX Racing has finally made it to the Olympics in 2008. Finally it has legitimacy and recognition from that stuffy Olympics governing body. This is the same body that considers shooting a sport. Give me a break.

I am too old to participate in this kind of cycling, but I enjoy the stunts that BMX riders can do. I will watch the X-games just to watch the incredible stunts that the BMX riders can pull off. If you get a chance to watch these riders, by all means watch them and support them, they do not make the money or get the recognition that the Tour de France cyclists get, but they should, and hopefully they will! If you looking for a BMX check the list below for a selection from Amazon.

What do you think of BMX's ?

BMX's give the most thrill!
