Anytime you are doing an exercise such as running, biking, jumping rope, etc. (cardio) and your heart is beating fast, you are burning fat…. if you do cardio regularly, 4-5 times a week for at least 30 minutes, you will burn fat… along with a healthy and balanced diet, you should eventually lose your belly fat… good luck!

Yes, its an aerobic exercise and they all burn fat. It may take longer than you think though. If you stay at it and eat low fat and low carb diet, you will lose weight. Thin is a lifestyle, not a destination.

The answer is yes! Biking is a form of cardiovascular exercise and this type burns the most calories while utilizing some of your fat storage as energy. Make sure to log some good time on it for best results. Go for 30-60 minutes at least and you can mix up what you do on different days.
Some days go for an extended time but at a medium pace. Some days you can go hard for a shorter time. And some days you can do splits of hard bouts with a slower rest pace in between. Try logging your results and times and try to better them. Have fun with it and keep it interesting and challenging and you can stick to it. Good luck!

A stationary bike will help you burn calories and if stick to a good diet, then a bike will help you lose fat. However, if you are using the bike but woofing down Big macs you won’t lose anything.
When your body is taking in less calories than you are burning it will lose fat all over, not just from your belly so even though it will help with belly fat, it’s not going to target that one specific area- you will lose fat all over.
A stationary bike is great cardio exercise. If you really want to target your belly also do around 50 push-aways every day. Although you can’t spot reduce through targeted exercises you can tighten the muscles and make them appear flatter.
50 push-aways should only take about 4 minutes and will help a great deal. Do them instead of crunches and you’ll see quicker results..
If you want to add a bit more to your cardio workout get small hand weights (5 pounds) and use these while you bike- it will up your calories burning about 35%.
