Title: Running Vs Cycling?
Is running better than cycling? I ask because my lower back isn't doing so well and it hurts when I run sometimes. When I run compared to cycle (all stationary) I feel like a get a better workout.
Thanks in advance

Cycliong works only 200 cals in 20 mi utes,as opposed to running wish burns 300!But if your lower back hurts,stick to cycling.You can cut the other 100 cals out of your diet and save yourself some back pian.

The amount of calories you burn doing any exercise depends on the intensity that you're putting out. For instance, Running at 9 mph burns about 20 calories per minute, while cycling at 200W (which is pretty vigorous) only burns 13 calories per minute. However, cycling at 250W burns more than 16 calories per minute.
So, as you see, if you can up your intensity while cycling, you can avoid changing your diet, your back pain, and still get a great work out :)
