You are doing great work for your heart but that will never change your body weight. Adjust your diet, and also, suggest you do intervals on the bike. This will increase your stamina and get the HR higher. Incorporate some resistance training and you will see your measurements change. -------------- Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. Ivan (GO HABS GO!)

Cardio is a poor way to manage bodyweight.Not to mention most peopel don't move fast enough to get the heart rate up. I can get on a bike for 20mins and bust ass and might burn 1-200 calories. It will give you a small caloric deficit...but the best way to get that is to watch what you eat. Be active, combine that with eathing a healthy diet, weight will drop. -------------- \"The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition\"
