    Running vs. bike

    What would be suggested to loose unwanted fat. Biking 45 mins daily or jogging 2 miles? I would think obviously running since it burns more calories, but interested to see what you think

    any form of cardio is good it's just what you like i prefer jogging. Just as long as you keep your heart rate right and the length of cardio

    I've found it difficult to jog/run and keep my heart rate in the "fat burning" zone. If I could, though, I'd much rather run or jog than do anything else.

    Seeing that time and distance are disimilar.. the comparison of the two would require the conversion of time to miles or vice versa


    On a less technical note... i would go with whichever you can sustain for 45-60 mins.

    For me that would be biking.

    Side effects of jogging for me: jarred knee and spine
    Side effects of riding for me: sore ass

    lmao.

    Gimme biking

    20-25 minutes on a bike then move onto walking on a treadmill at 3mph at a 10-12 incline for another 25-30 in the am on an empty stomach. I like them both; makes the cardio go by faster and gives variety. I do this about 4 times a week then do a 2 day HIIT program for about 20-25 minutes.
    For me I think jogging starts burning muscle since I can't seem to keep my heart rate down.

    Biking will of course save your knees. I like to change it up regularly.
