Burn More Fat in the Gym
Rowing can help you burn more fat than biking
Edited by: Adam Campbell
Where you sit when you work out could determine how fast you lose your gut. Irish researchers recently reported that men burn more fat while rowing than while biking. In the study, scientists measured the amount of fat used for fuel while men exercised on either a rowing machine or a stationary bike. The result: Participants burned 40 to 50 percent more fat when rowing than when cycling, even though the duration of exercise was the same. The likely explanation is that because rowing ma-chines incorporate both your upper and lower body, they work more muscle, says lead study investigator David Ashley.
