walking and bike riding

[lesliemarie]

I was wondering if anyone else walks and bike rides for exercise to loose weight, since I am taking some time off from stepping and I walk a few miles in the morning and a few miles in the afternoon and ride a bike for a few miles instead I was wondering if this is an effective way to loose some weight, I am going to try to step once a week and try to work up to two days a week.
Oh yeah I walk and bike ride everyday.

I've been biking and spinning regularly since late winter/early spring to cross-train, work out with DH, and prepare for long-distance cycling. Lately I've been riding 3 times a week, doing one Cathe cardio, and one or two endurance total-body weighted workouts (ME or PH). My weight is (slowly) dropping, but I also am trying to loose by cutting calories. Also, I keep my cycling as intense as I can while varying my focus (endurance, hill climbing, speed, etc). Since I'm old at Cathe but new at cycling I don't have an answer to your question...I can just share my experience, and I'm finding that cycling kicks my backside both literally and figuratively! But what you're doing surely can't hurt!

Hopefully someone will have a more educated and objective answer!
