exercise bike question - Phentermine.com

I'm a very busy mom of four. My oldest is autistic and I really don't have much time to exercise. So I went out and got an exercise bike so I can get in a workout. My question is how long each day should I be on the bike to see results? I did 30 min this morning and felt great! Would doing two 30min workouts a day be enough?

Well, I'm not the best person to give advice about exercise, but I would imagine that anything you do that you don't normally do, would be good for you. Two 30 mins a days sounds like it would be beneficial to me.

If you are just starting to exercise, I'd say take it 30 mins at a time. Your body still needs time to recoupe! But if you are used to exercising, then try it. Personally, i would do 30 mins one day and the 45 the next, 30 again... then an hour the next...etc.
Keep your body guessing!!!

I agree. An exercise bike is a great workout!

Thanks..... I think I might have started out to much. My left leg is so sore! I think I'll just stick to once a day and gradually increase my time! Thanks again for the great advice!

your gonna wanna do 30 mintes but remember get your heart rate up its pointless to do it if you dont get that heart rate up.

I LOVE LOVE my exercise bike!!! My bike has trainner programs on it, so I switch it up every other day. I am a pear shape so I have HUGE HIPS, butt, and thighs and they had alot of chubby lines and my butt had alot of cellulite. I started riding my bike daily about two months ago and yesterday I was looking at my self naked in the mirror(checking myself out!!) and I turned around and looked and I was SHOCKED, I had hardly NO cellulite on my butt!!!! It was gone!!! And the backs of my legs no more chubby lines!!!!! I can definetly feel my muscles in my thighs now......I haven't lost alot of weight but I guess I am losing inches and building muscles.
