Using a recumbent bicycle is an effective way to lose weight?

When I go to the gym, which tend to use the recumbent bike a lot. I usually ride for about an hour around level 9. I sweat like crazy, but after an hour is said to have burned only about 300 calories. Is this going to be effective? Sensation how much sweat, I'm burning more ....

Recumbent bikes are not as effective as running, but are much better on their joints. You may want to see your heart rate. Sweating could mean a lot just sweat a lot, some people are easy to make you sweat. Level 9 is only the perception of the manufacturer Level 9. Level 9 on some machines could be quite easy compared to other machines. Oh, and heart rate monitors and calorie counters on measurements of most machines are usually pretty bad. get a good heart rate monitor as a Polar or Garmin. and wear it while working out (which feel redundant with HR monitor in the machine but trust me it is much better). then calculate your target heart rate, there many calculators on the Internet and in the manual of your new heart rate monitor. Then, when the elaboration of trying hard stick around its target rate heart. Your target heart rate is where the body is in the optimal way of burning fat. too high and may have permanent heart damage, too much lower and does not burn many calories. My monitor beeps when h is too high or too low to keep it under control. my wife can connect to the computer and graphs of calories burned and heart rate over time. It also has a built-in GPS mapping runs and bike rides.
