To reduce overall belly girth, moderate-intensity aerobic exercises, such as cycling (either indoor or outdoor), are effective to lower belly fat.
When should I use an exercise bike?
Using an exercise bike at home or in the gym can be useful to prepare for sports competitions or when the weather does not allow you to go out or to train safely. It is also a great piece of kit for HIIT high-intensity training sessions or for general cardio workouts.
