Is a 45min RPM class enough?

Just wondering if 45mins, doing a cycling class six days a week is enough for weight loss. Should I be hopping on the treadmill afterwards? Thanks :wink:

    RPM is an insane cardiovascular work out. If you're keeping to the beat of the music, and hitting your max during the tracks this will definitely help weight loss.
    I'm a 6"2' male and I burn about 700-800 calories per class!

    Usually 3-4 RPMs a week is plenty, try combining it with a body pump class (assuming your gym offers them) to really speed up weight loss.

    Weight loss is dependent on eating at a calorie deficit. Exercise is for fitness (thought it helps with allowing you to eat more while netting a deficit).

    But that's a lot of cardio. That's great, but are you planning on incorporating any strength/resistance exercises? Just think that a balance of both might be more beneficial for you in the long run.
