Finding the optimum weight for swimming, cycling and running is a challenge and can be a bit of a compromise. It’s known that on the bike a high power to weight ratio will help you go faster and for most of us being lighter on the run will be benefit too.

Running is the go to sport for weight loss but cycling can do a pretty good job too. We’re heading out on the bike where we’ll be bringing you tips for weight loss through cycling.

  1. Why do they need to make lengthy vids about this? It's not complicated. I live in a v hilly area and have a two mile pull just to get started on my rides. I ride three to four times per week. The results are inevitable.

  2. In cardiovascular /aerobic exercises CYCLING is the best. Why is it?!?!?! Comparing with running /walking There are no blows to the joints. Movements are smooth. That doesn't mean it will the best for you. Cycling could be bad for your health as well. Back problems etc.

  3. Honestly, look into low carb foods and skip morning breakfasts unless you are doing a long or intense workout.
    I lost 63 lbs in 5 months and only regained 5 in 4 months and that is due to summer over indulging. Low carb, sometimes keto and time restricted feeding.
    I am not advocating a keto diet for everyone. If you are still racing or doing really hard workouts, stick with what works for you. However, when your race season is over, give it a shot.It can take 2-3 months to get fat adapted and you will lose some energy and strength during the adaption phases.
    I am 53 and started the process in January. My FtP is just a little off my max from last year, but watts/kg are up 40%.
    VO2 Max is up almost 50%.
    Otherwise, just cut sugars and white breads out of your diet, and don’t eat til noon. You will lose body fat. Good Luck 👍

  4. Maybe I eat to much but going low cadence with high pressur (means going uphill with the roadbike) brought my upper legs to around 65cm 🤔 means I gain weight with cycling

  5. Best way to drop weight is to skip the coffee break, the latte and cake. For sure I love the weekly intervals even though they leave me empty for the rest of the day. For long rides on the open road, you better be properly fuelled or else you risk to reduce your span of attention and alertness. Happy riding & Healthy eating!

  6. I can easily lose 1.5kg on a single ride, and that includes putting 2.5ltr of fluid IN during the ride at a weight of 2.5kg… I find the figures pretty mental but the scales do not lie and I’ve done it a number of times.

    In February before I started hard tri training I was at 97kg, this morning I was 75kg.

  7. Not trying to be negative but exercising should NEVER be about loosing weight. You loose weight in the supermarked when you are out shopping or w/e. Ppl just gonna exercise, get more hungry and overeat.

  8. Funny that you posted this video as lately I just can’t shift the weight. I cycle 9 miles to work and back again every day and somehow I have put on a stone! I’m desperate to loose weight as an old back injury is starting to creep up again and has stopped me running. Cycling and swimming are my only options for the time and I’m just gaining weight. Please help!

  9. 9th 😉 still wondering why people take the trouble to :thumbdown: these videos??? anyway, don't lose weight unless you go into the mountains; gain muscle. keep it up @GTN

  10. Don't focus too much on just weight. instead focus on your body fat percentage.
    If you want to lose fat you need to be at a caloric deficit every day whilst eating quality food.
    There is no 90 day short-cut or magic diets that will help, no it's all about the long-term and living a healthy lifestyle.

  11. I know I would lose heaps of weight if I was riding one of those beautiful Canyon Bikes, seriously though, I do an easy ride and run twice a week, sprints or hill climb rides and runs twice as well, and 2 40k ride/5k run brick as a final workout. Combined with gym sessions, I am still struggling to lose 1kg every month and go through a bit of a roller coaster every now and again, thinking why bother with the 4am sessions and the aches and pains, and then spend 20hrs in the gym the next week determined to get to my goal weight. Everybody else makes it look so easy, you all suck!! (just kidding).
