How Many Calories Should You Burn for Weight Loss
If you depend on classic aerobic cardio for weight loss, you probably spend 30 minutes on a machine trying to burn a set number of calories. But does that work? Does burning 500 calories per day cause you to lose 1 pound of fat per week?
Well, according to science, it should. But if it did, you probably wouldn't still be reading this article.
I used to write a column on fat loss myths for Men's Fitness magazine. Here's a classic weight loss topic I covered.
Myth: I need to burn 500 calories each workout to lose fat.
Truth:
Possibly one of the worst inventions for fat loss was the calorie-counting monitor on treadmills, elliptical machines, and stairmasters.
Because of these, millions of men and women now obsess about the number of calories burned per session. You've probably even been one of those people, watching it creep up ever so slowly during a slow-cardio session. All the while knowing that you can wipe out a 30-minute, 300-calorie treadmill session with one fell swoop of the Krispy Kreme hand.
Too many people are brainwashed into thinking that if they don't burn 300-500 calories per session, then they won't lose fat. After all, that is what you've been told time and time again in those fluffy fitness/fashion magazines.
The problems with this approach to fat loss are numerous. First off, it's difficult to say if the calorie counters are even accurate. A story on CBS news showed that cardio machines overestimate calorie burning by up to 20%.
Next, depending on slow cardio for advanced fat loss is relatively useless and at the very least, inefficient. It takes a long time for you to burn a lot of calories and one study showed that men who only used cardio training for weight loss ended up with a reduced resting metabolism. You are basically undoing the calorie burning by depending only on cardio. On the other hand, guys in the same study that used strength training didn't suffer a reduced metabolic rate.
So what is the solution to burning fat in a faster, more efficient method? The answer is to use strength and interval training to burn fewer calories in less exercise time, but with a more intense form of exercise.
Your body will burn more calories after exercise (when you use intervals) than it does after you do slow cardio and your metabolism will stay high. Some experts refer to this as the afterburn effect. How do you do intervals? Well, you could sprint for 30 seconds and rest for 90 seconds and repeat that for 6 sets - using the bike preferably or treadmill if you are experienced with it.
Within that short time frame the intervals will cause your muscles to go crazy with activity (I call it a metabolic turbulence). This crazy metabolism boost causes lots of calorie burning after exercise to get your body back to normal. The result is you would end up burning more fat and more calories in the post-exercise period as your body tries to get things under control.
Now there is one time where you'd want to count calories, but that is when you are counting up and determining how many calories you eat per day. Again, you can wipe out an entire workout's work in less than a minute simply by eating garbage. Without some structure and discipline to your nutrition, there is nothing that even my programs can do to help you lose fat.
So exercise nutrition control and interval training. These are the two anti-calorie counting methods that will help you lose fat and get lean.

Spinning Bikes - Spinning Bikes Basics
Spinning bikes are made up of mechanical devices that alter pedaling difficulty, small seats that have a number of adjustment points, and ergonomic handlebars. Straps for the toes (on the pedals) help secure the feet properly. They are used at the gym and in most private homes. Spinning bikes are also utilized for hospital patients to monitor their overall physical health.
Types
Home Use: Since they are intended for home use, they are not specifically built for frequent use. They have lightweight designs and are sleek enough for easy moving and storage. Majority of this type have seats that are adjustable and ergonomic handlebars that provide easy grip.
Gym Use: They are heavy-duty and bulky compared to the sleeker, lightweight home-use versions. They are stable and durable, made specifically to withstand abuse from frequent use in a gym.
Most come with heat-treated components and parts for durability. Most also include advanced features like brake-block systems for resistance, systems for belt drives, tension-controlling brake levers for emergencies, and telescoping stems to aid adjustability.
Buying Tips
When buying your own spinning bikes, don't forget to check for the following:
Adjustability: Choose your bike to allow for adjustments in tension. This allows you to have a workout that is specific to your fitness level and strength. Adjustment systems also ensure that when you pedal, you do it in a comfortable range suited for your fitness level.
Comfort: Make sure that your bike comes with cushion-padded seats that are adjustable. Also look for a bike that calibrates handlebars accordingly with your seat to provide comfort while you exercise.
