How long does it take to lose belly fat by biking?
Fat loss from a specific area for a single exercise is known in as ‘spot fat loss’. For example ‘do lots of squats to lose inches off your thighs’. This is sadly a fitness infomercial myth.
Although it is strictly speaking possible to lose fat from a specific area by exercising that area, this happens as part of a holistic weight loss. When creating a calorie deficit and therefore leading to fat loss, your body will burn energy stores as required and not just from that specific area.
Fat is the body storing energy in times of plenty (excess calories available) to be used during lean times (not enough calories available). While this was useful for survival as we evolved as a species, in the modern world where excess calories are always available it can lead to excessive weight gain, obesity and its associated health problems.
Regular exercise in conjunction with a healthy diet is required for loss of belly fat, how long it will take depends on several variables: Time spent exercising , exercise intensity and frequency of exercise.

The more often you ride and the further you go the better right? Sort of…
At first you should keep it consistent and enjoyable. It’s very easy to look at peoples ‘highlight reel’ training videos and fall in to the belief that exercise needs to be extreme to be productive. This is simply not true. Weight loss , fitness and body re-composition will occur once you adopt the habits that promote them. Focus at first on creating the habit of regular cycling. You will quickly find you can go further, longer and faster on a regular basis.

How much weight can you lose biking 30 minutes a day?
It really depends on the intensity of the effort. Intense cycling exercise burns approximately 1000 calories an hour. So half an hour a day burns 3500 extra calories per week. This figure would in theory amount to 1 pound of fat loss per week. That’s 52 pounds of fat across a year! Obviously there are too many variables for this to be accurate but it gives an example if what is possible.

How long does it take to see results from cycling?
Joke question: when is the best time to start getting fit? Answer: 10 years ago.
If you begin a new exercise program and stick to it you will feel results within a few days and make noticeable physical changes within 2 weeks. For dramatic ‘before & after’ style results you need to look longer term. 90 days is a good period of time so see amazing results if you change your whole lifestyle. Better more realistic time frames for are measured in years. 1 year seems like a long time to be thinking about when you want results ‘yesterday’ but when looked at over the course of a lifetime 365 days goes past pretty quickly.
