If you want to lose weight you need to regularly burn more calories than you consume. This can be achieved by simply altering your diet or doing more exercise. If you choose an exercise, which sport is the best value when it comes to burning those excessive calories?
We have already looked at the difference between swimming and running in a rough experiment so we thought it made sense to now compare cycling and running. For this one, we are stepping things up and heading to the physiology lab at Team Bath to get a little sciencey!

@stefanweilhartner4415 4 года назад

getting high from exercise is super unhealthy. it is a result of high destructive cortisol that cranks out other steroid hormones to mask away pain - even if it still there. on the other side it reduces testosterone and is wasting muscle. this is why elite marathon runners look ugly skinny fat. not healthy like sprinters. chronic high cortisol sucks out your life and makes you age fast. on the other side alternating training in zone 5 and zone 2 has an anti-aging effect because you grow new healthy mitochondria. with SIT in zone 5, there is mitophagy happening, which is autophagy of the mitochondria (destruction of old defect mitochondria and making room for new healthy ones) so: never ever train in zone 3 (of 5), only alternating in zone 5 and 2

I have lost 20 kilos (45 pounds) in 4 months by cycling. As soon as the pandemic started I turned to biking to manage my stress. I started riding 32 kilometers every day (6am) on my mountain bike but on a paved road, I was still stressed, so I added an afternoon ride (6pm) also for 32k. I ride a total of 64k six days a week and after losing 20 kilos (45 pounds) I'm 5 kilos (11 pounds) away from my target optimal weight. With a sugar-less diet, patience and a twinkle of OCD :) I have managed to keep the riding regimen and loving it.

Hi guys. Great video. I used to do HIIT Sprints, 12x12, 25m each, with a 45 sec rest in between each set. Took about 40 mins. Shifted houses where I couldn't run anymore, so shifted to 1 hour of cycling. That 1 hr has dropped to 50 mins and dropping further, so need to up the time for a similar cardio workout. It burns off fat like nothing else...do it everyday.

@ReganRoss 4 года назад

I’ve finally settled on alternating biking a day and running a day (6 days then rest) and it’s been great. I don’t get burned out on either activity, I’m losing weight and I’m avoiding running injuries that plague me if I run every day. Helpful to know the difference which I largely offset by riding for more time than I run.

@AncoraImparoPiper 4 года назад

I have spent all of last year cycling training. I lost some weight, but not nearly as much and as rapidly as I have over the last 5 months only running at similar intensity and regularity. The difference for me is the hunger generated. I feel a far greater need to consume a ton of carbs after my bike rides ( usually lasting an hour) v what I crave after a run ( same duration and intensity). I never feel desperately craving carbs after running compared to my crazy carb craving after cycling. And this difference in what I crave to consume for the rest of the day has helped me lose just over 3 kg running. So, that's an interesting phenomenon for me: how my body reacts to the running v cycling.

@matowakan Год назад

@abbreviateTome Год назад

Same with me. Its crazy. I now do weight lifting and slow uphill walking on a treadmill whilst intermittently fasting. The best for weight loss as it taps into your fats and doesn’t burn into the stored glycogen in the muscles as much as cycling does. Hence i can get by with one meal (1000 cal) a day easily.

@richtourist 4 года назад

I think it may be worse than that... If a person actually exercises at the same rate for the cycle and the run (to make a fair comparison) then they would have actually done the same internal work/chemistry and used the same volume of oxygen. All they have shown is that heart-rate monitors, which come in a box with a receipt, are less accurate than VO2 meters, which come in a lab with a scientist. Not surprising. The differences between cycling and running are nothing to do with energy, they are everything else.

@jeighlynn2667 4 года назад

I don't know why it is, but I had been running more than 70 miles a week and my weight stablilized at around 170 to 176. But as soon as I started doing indoor spinning or the Flywheel app I have lost 10 to 15 pounds. And most of the miles I was running were at sub 8 minute pace. But I have also found that I can maintain my heart rate as high or even higher for longer periods of time while cycling. I still use running as part of my exercise routine but the indoor cycling has kept me injury free, and can substitute cycling for running with no loss of fitness. One Caveat my weight loss due to biking only works if and only I can spin at 200 to 270 watts per a 45 minute to 30 minute session. It is a formula that works for me, your formula might differ but probably not by much. Cheers.

@rondierice4922 4 года назад

I do both, biking improves my ability to run. Biking allows me to have stronger legs which gives me an advantage when I run. I used to prefer biking over running but after seeing improvements I can actually say running isn’t so bad. For me weather also plays a big factor as I don’t like to bike in windy conditions. For someone who does nothing I’d advise to start off with biking and then slowly transitioning to both.

@ChavdarDimitrov2511 4 года назад

Thank you for the great video! The mentioned calorie difference is only valid by running/cycling in fitness. The real difference comes from: 1. Attitude difference - even by 100m you can tell there is a big impact. When cycling by descent you can just keep your low HR - in comparison by running you cannot "relax". 2. Uneven terrain - when you run, you need to pay attention and keep safe which increase the calorie burn 3. Duration - the fatique boosts significantly the calorie burn and by 2hours running well trained person is burning far more calories in comparison to 2h cycling My personal conclusionis is that with running I'm burning almost twice the calories in comparison to the cycling activity.

All in all takes about an hour because I'm a hobbyist at best and I'm also spending some time changing shoes, etc. I do find it to be a good workout and the equipment changes keep me from getting bored. You can't really trust equipment calorie calculators too much but the 20 km bike and the 5 km run both say I am burning just over 400 calories each with the bike taking just under 35 minutes and the run taking just over 24 minutes.

I know it doesn't get easier even if you lower your MTB gear but hey, it actually gives you a little more room for comfort even when you're pedaling in a faster pace, coz you know, you're still sitting down and it's much lighter. Now when it comes to running, we all know we don't have gear options in oir bodies to make hill runs easier, our bodies are built as is and we use all of those muscles to push it to the top without even the slightest comfort of sitting unlike being on a bike.

When I started My first (and most nostalgia-evoking) loaded bike tour back on July the 29th of 2007, I weighed 95kg. By the 18th of August (21 days later and ca. 1.800km further), upon reaching the destination, I weighed 85kg. And it was quite the experience, too! Miss it dearly. I must admit that My subsequent cycle tours were less efficient in the regard of calorie expenditure, mostly because I was too complacent and consumed a lot of calories underway, in effect thus losing only 3-4 kilos per the same amount of time and distance covered. I've boxed for 4 years, done Brazilian JuJitsu for ca. 6 months, kick-boxer for a year and cycled fairly long and often since 1998 - and, while I was in a fairly good shape at 25 or thereabouts, none was quite as efficient in the sense of getting Me in shape as a loaded cycle tour, combined with a moderate calorie intake. HIIT (again, combined with a controlled calorie intake) was also remarkably efficient. As mentioned, running unquestionably will burn more calories than cycling, but I'm yet to come across a person who can run for 10 hours on end at speeds exceeding walking speed. Walking, upon the other hand, will only burn one-third or thereabouts as many calories as cycling will.

I do both. I’ve done both for decades. I love both. You burn more calories faster while running, and running is less of a PITA (doesn’t require maintaining a bicycle). If you want to get in a more full body workout more quickly, go for a run. I run during the week and save cycling for the weekend when I don’t have to rush off to work.

Cycled 16 miles everyday commute, with long rides on weekends, including cycle to Paris. Weight loss was minimal.. running, weight loss was dramatic, losing over a stone with no change in diet. I believe the rule is 1 mile of running, equals 4 cycling.

@Abraksas112 3 года назад

I can ride 3 miles easy in the same time I run 1 mile. Also I can ride 100 miles no prob, not gonna be running more than 2-3 miles xD. It all depends on what you're capable. What good is it that running for 30 minutes burns more calories than cycling for 2 hours if you can easy cycle for hours and hours but not even run half an hour? Also do (or would you) run to work every day? Can you even?

@kunivanu22 4 года назад

I run for more than 12 years now... also cycling more seriously for 10+. To sum this up, running toughens you up nicely and cycling makes your muscles a bit more 'fluff'. Running is not for everyone, it's more of a mental game rather than anything else.

Another variable to keep in mind is if you are an overweight person (like moderately or even severely obese), then running is more injury prone, specially affecting joints like ankle and knees, and cycling might be a better choice.

@trepidati0n533 4 года назад

I know this seems like something that "logically makes sense" and might even be "technically true" but it is irrational to give this as advice without context. Running only causes damage when you do more effort that your body can currently handle. I know many people well above 250lbs who run but it does not hurt them because they run correctly and run at a volume/intensity which is not damaging with appropriate recovery.

@godismeme272 4 года назад

👍 This is easily tested. Put on a 20 lb vest (aka holiday gorge fest) and go for a run. Or even sprinting out of the saddle. It will start off as a small pinch, but if you ignore it, guaranteed injury. My joints and ligaments like being at 165 and less.

@bradwilliams4921 Год назад

I am out of shape and turning 50 in about 2 months so I am in the early stages of exploring cycling and running/walking fast in Zone 2 to find which is more effective and enjoyable at burning calories. Thus far walking at 3.0 mph at a 3% incline puts me in Zone 2 and is somewhat enjoyable. I do it for an hour each time. I tried a stationary cycle and due to burning in my legs I was only able to last 15 minutes in what I think was Zone 2. I am basing my effort on my ability to breathe through my nose, ability to speak somewhat easily while exercising, heart rate and wattage produced. I think that I would prefer cycling due to the relative speed but time will tell. Thanks for the video.

Of course you're not gonna lose weight by cycling if you're cycling at lowest intensity possible. Your heartrate does need to get up if you want to lose weight.

On the way to work in a fasted state (14 hours) and when I do a 2 + hours ride on the weekend I eat before and during the ride.

@cwgriffin1 2 года назад

I enjoy your channel, and watched your two videos on what is the best way to lose weight. The results were not a surprise, because it all relates back to the size of the muscle Lats vs quad and hamstrings. But all of you are in great shape. For the person who is not in top physical shape, the problem with the bike is that it is easy to coast. You can get by little effort. Swimming some different. People in poor physical shape are taking a couple of leisurely laps (typically breast stroke) and get out of the pool. It takes training just to get yourself to a point where you're exerting energy. If you're over weight and take up running, the forces on your joints are brutal. The best place to start if you're trying to lose weight and are out of shape is walking.

@golaoi 4 года назад

If you want to lose weight you need to burn more calories.. Hmmm. Why are there a lot of fat cyclists, runners, swimmers? I've been cycling for 40y. I tended to be fat UNLESS I did a huge amount of cycling. That's at least 200m per week, including one 100 mile spin. That's a lot but it would knock 2lb off that week. Recent science has caught up with this. Ordinary amounts of exercise have next to no effect. You just get hungrier and eat more. What does work is stopping eating rubbish food, particularly carby thrash. I lost 40lb and have kept if off for 6y whether I cycle or not. I eat no rubbish and eat low carb food. It can be done also by eating very low fat, but that's much less palatable. The problem is that modern pseudofood such as Potato crisps etc., are addictive and allow you to eat beyond your appetite.

@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892 3 года назад

Exactly, I too doubt the validity of this discussion from the homebase. DOES anyone really cycle, or run, or both, to have more spectrum for food-input???
