in Fitness and Exercise
We recently purchased a stand for a regular bike so we can ride a bike indoors. My husband and I plan on doing 6 days of exercise alternating between the treadmill and bike. We also plan to eat within our specified calories that mfp gave us. So my question is, will this work?

    Get a heart rate monitor to track your cals. As long as you burn more cals than you consume in a day, every day, you will lose weight and become more fit. Getting your heart rate up will get your heart in better shape (cardiovascular). Good luck!! I primarily use spin, treadmill, and elliptical for my cardio as well.

    no, you need to eliminate at least one food group and only eat between 8:32 a.m. and 9:27 p.m. :wink:

    it wouldn't hurt to throw in some strength training

    Of course exersice and healthy eating habits as well as portion control work. Glad you're coming along for the ride!

    YAY good for you both. Sharing cardio workouts will be great for both of you. I also have a trainer and have ridden my bike indoors all winter. Of course I prefer outside but with snowy Indiana at least I get to ride even in my dining room :) I also have an inexpensive treadmill and I use both. Just remember to take it slow when beginning and stretch.

    I would add in some kind of strength training! You can do bodyweight exercises that you find online. Stuff like planks, push ups, lunges, squats...

    Hurray for teamwork! Good luck to you and the hub.
