Outdoor cycling exercise for weight loss is a superior option because it burns more calories than walking and some other low intensity exercises. Exercise is supplimentry to dieting for body fat reduction or maintaining existing weight. Because cycling is a high intensity and more enjoyable workout, you will burn relatively more calories.
A 70 Kg person can burn upto 600 calories in an hour if he does cycling at about 20 km per hour. Of course, this value may vary depending on your weight, road slope, wind direction. Cycling will enable you not only to lose body fat but it will also enhance your overall cardiovascular health and fitness. Muscles and bones of your thighs and calves will be strengthened.
