Wife started us on Keto diet, I say us cause I told her I wouldn’t allow her to make two different meals. She is seeing good results with it. I have lost a few pounds as well.

I read where riding a bike for an hour burns about 1,000 calories. To lose a pound you would need to burn a little over 6,000 calories. That means you would need to ride a bike about 6 hours to lose one pound. The bike riding is good, but eating less is probably more effective. A combination of both is best.

3500 calories is = to 1#. No bike ride for an hour will burn 1000 calories, maybe 500 if your really working hard....probably more like 250.

I have a very reliable way to track caloric use and 1 hr on a bike for 14 miles burns 350 calories....most people will not ride 14 miles in an hour.

Walking/running is great, but lifting weights burns more calories for a longer period of time. Doing both only speeds up the process. Weightlifting can burn calories up to 38hrs after completion. But, walking/running for 30min will burn more calories than a 30min workout, lol.
I do opposite of most folks. I lift first, then get on the treadmill for 2-3 miles. Walk/run/walk/run. I get on the treadmill at about 120bpm heart rate and try and get it up to 160 throughout the walk/run. So far it’s working for me and I’m getting stronger with my lifts. I don’t overdo lifting but I’m back at the weights I was doing in my 30’s and 40’s. I don’t play around jaw jacking either. I only do 4-5 exercises for 3x10 reps. I don’t rest any longer than 30-45 seconds between reps either. I can get done with weights in 30-40 minutes then jump on the treadmill for 30 minutes or so and out the door.
I will say this for anyone looking to join a gym, yearly membership prices are cheaper than monthly or quarterly. My little gym used to charge $50 for 3 months, then increased to $60. Well, I keep forgetting about the expiration date and my card shuts off after a month of no pay. So last time I went to renew I asked what the yearly price is...$180 which is $45 per 3 months. I payed the $180, lol.
