Is stationary cycling as effective as outdoor cycling?+
Calorie burn is similar at the same effort level. Outdoor riding adds wind resistance and hills, while indoor bikes make it easy to control intensity with intervals. Both are excellent low-impact cardio for weight loss and heart health.
Is cycling good for losing belly fat?+
Cycling burns a lot of calories, which helps reduce overall body fat — including belly fat. You can’t spot-reduce fat from one area, but regular cycling combined with a calorie deficit and strength training is a very effective fat-loss strategy.
