I watched a show where they stated that using a trampoline can help you lose weight. Have you found this to be true? Burn 1000 cal. in one hr.

any physical activity will help. I have it because I love trampolining but my knees can't take the pressure, but the handle helps with balance. I saw in TV that there is a program all about trampoline exercise. Any thing is better than nothing. Good luck with your program to be healthy. :)

Same thing I wanted! My solution was to use it as running and so I could at least get my heart rate while spinning. It told me I burned 45 calories however since it assumed I ran about .4 miles in 55 minutes.

Only if you actually use it regularly. If you use it as a clothes hangar, stalk it, or use it as a statue it could possibly reduce your tone and fitness. It is an excellent fitness machine; the problem is it does nothing unless you actually use it appropriately. I've lost 20 pounds on mine, just 50 more to go.

I would like to answer your question, but I have since moved on to a stationary bike and the weight really has come off. I find the bike has been more effective for me and I am thankful I get more out of my exercise time with the bike.

That question is kind of like, "how long is a piece of string?" - Given the fact that weight loss is 80% in the kitchen and 20% in the gym, there is a good chance that this bike will allow your heart rate to get into a decent resistance/calorie burning zone. The longer you stay there, theoretically, the more calories you will burn. The bike has 7 resistance settings and I find that I will hang out at level 5 with a HR of 145-155. I occasionally jump to level 6 and sprint for 30-60 seconds but rarely go to Level 7. The reason I don't is because it is a magnetic resistance bike and the flywheel isn't heavy enough to maintain adequate rotational force for smooth pedaling - the magnets overpower the flywheel. This makes it very annoying to ride because instead of "smooth pedaling" you get "push - slow - push - slow" every time the crank gets to the lowest part (hope this makes sense). I use this bike every day, I am 5'10", 200 lbs and in good shape - I will use it for a quick 15 minute warm-up or a longer 40 minute cardio workout. It has been a great addition to my gym and best of all, it doesn't take up much space for the rest of my gear. Lastly, I've mentioned this before (on other reviews) but the Heart Rate monitor is junk. I don't really care because I have my own HR monitor that measures HR accurately. Truthfully, I didn't expect the HR monitor to work given the price of the unit. And for the price, I have been very pleased.

to a point. its heats up the area to get more sweat out also know as water weight in the stomach. its will help but dont surely count on it. stride for a better diet and more physical fitness. least and 1hr a day with core exercise that make you feel the burn in your stomach like sit ups or planks.

I have never lost weight on a bike. Never, ever, ever. Watch, I think, the NOVA program on preparing for the Boston Marathon. NONE of the people lost weight. There are other benefits. I tried doing this in front of the TV - apparently we are suppose to be moving every 20 mintues (from the book, Every Twenty Minutes) and that will supposedly get me to better health. But.... Hey, if you are in SF, I'd sell you mine for 75 bucks.

Other exercise bikes help people lose weight by burning calories. However, this particular exercise bike doesn't work that way.

It definitely helps to sweat more around your waist while training, and I think speeds up burning fat at that area a bit, but there are no miracles of course! You still have to work very hard for losing each pound.

YES! Definitely...any time you are moving is good for weight loss...the faster you bike or pedal the exercise bike, the more calories and fat you burn off. Weight Watcher's ppl always say the key to weight loss other than lots of water is movement...keep moving...hope this helped you and enjoy the new you after about a month or two of regular use of your bike...:)

I can't speak for everyone, but for me it was a lot slower. I did lose weight, but it wasn't that extreme. My goal was 20 lbs and I'm about 3/4th of the way there. I can tell you one thing, it did help even when I wasn't exercising and that's always been a problem for me. Hope this helps!

I have done this dvd multiple times. I think it would help strengthen and tone muscles, and help your body respond better to cardio, but I do not think that alone it would be something that would help achieve weight loss.

YES! My husband and I both use this for our only means of real exercise. So far he has been able to lose 60lbs. (using the 17 day diet plan and riding the bike about 30 min. a day...it has taken him 4months) and I have lost 20lbs. (simply by cutting back and riding the bike about 15-20 min. a day...it has taken about a month). The weight really started coming off when we added the bike to our daily routine. Hope my answer helped. Good Luck. :)

I have been doing Zumba for a couple of months and while I have not lost weight, I have lost inches! That's even better because it means I am losing fat and gaining muscle. It is a great workout. You really burn calories and because it's so much fun it's not a chore.

yes, it will help with weight loss. It helps curb your hunger for "other" foods. I lost 15 pounds in 2 months. Eat a nice meal for dinner and raw meal for breakfast and lunch. I also ran 3 times a week ( 1 mile a day) and ate healthy meals. be active and it will help. Sorry to ramble,I just really love it. :)
