Hi All,

I'm new here, I'm trying to get fit rather than loose weight. I wonder if you can help.

I want to maintain my current weight, 90Kg's but loose the fat and replace it with muscle and mountain bike 3 times a week, but myfitnesspal has said I have to do 27 hours of riding to do this. Surely this can't be right, there'd be nothing left of me, plus I don't have the time.

Thank you for any help given.

Tony

    Hmm. If you're looking to gain muscle, I'd recommend weight training instead of cardio :)

    Lose the bike and weight train instead.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the advice. Is that the reason it's asking for so many hours because I don't have weight training in my plan.

    Thanks again.

    Tony
