  • I'm sorry, my mistake. I meant to say that it takes about 35 minutes or so for me to burn 150 kcal on low intensity as a warm up.
  • Thanks for the reply Machka. Well as I said, I have a stationary bike at home. It's reebok and though not one of the very expensive ones, it's decent enough.

  • I know you have to have a calorie deficiency and that seems absolutely logical to me too. But, it was an aerobics' teacher who would always nag us to wait at least 1 hour (better 2 hours) to eat after class. Plus, I had this very skinny friend who was trying to gain weight and her nutritionist had asked her to exercise and…
