I'm using my stationary bike as my means for cardio exercising and I was wondering there were general rules as to the best ways to burn more calories. Like, I'm sure more resistance burns more calories, as does pedaling faster, but would it be better to pedal at a decent speed with lots of resistance or to pedal faster at moderate resistance? Is it a good idea to wear ankle weights (and if so, how does this factor in to the weight loss equation - less or more important than the other two factors, or relatively the same?) I'm just wondering what the best kind of levels are for achieving maximum results. Thank you very much!
