Answers:
First of all congratulations on your wonderful effort at attempting to be a healthy weight!. You don't seem to be very far off, but better to get it under control now than later when it could be worse!. I'd rather try to lose 2 pounds than 22 (and heaven forbid 222)!. Using an exercise bike is a good physical activity that is easy on the joints!. Since it's fat burning you are looking for you must do it at a level that is considered aerobic!. Your time frame is good, 30-40 mins!. Weight training is also a good fat burner not only for the muscle itself (strength), but because the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn during periods that you're not exercising!. To answer your question though, you can't "target" fat burning!. You WILL burn fat with the methods you are using, but just where and how fast is is a question that nobody can answer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
