As some of you may have read in an early post, I want to take up biking as my cardio as I feel it is the best fit for me. But I do have a few questions.
Obviously with biking you're primarily using your legs and butt muscles. Did you find you got fairly toned from consistenly biking?
When I was going to try jogging (which I did, and it's just not for me), I was going to try HIIT. Moderate biking with bursts of high speed. Do any of you do this? Have you felt any different from it? I'm not going to jump into that right away, but I'd eventually like to.
How far and how long do you go for? I'm aiming at, at least 30-45 minutes of 13-14mph, 4 times a week.
Any other thoughts anyone would like to add? Obviously as you can see I'm new to biking and the strategies of it. Thanks!
