Hi! To my mind, both ways can be effective, so, you need to try both and understand, which one of these - cycling or walking works best for you. You can start from walking. Normally, a person should walk for about 10 thousand steps a day, it's approximately 5 miles. Then, gradually, try to increase this number. There are even special fitness trackers that count the number of steps you've walked, the number of calories you've burnt, your heart beating and so on. A good way to start keeping track of your activities.
The same story with cycling, you can buy a bike and commute to work on a bike instead of using public transport. Or you can buy an exercise bike and train, without leaving your apartment.
All in all, I suppose the idea is clear. Good luck!

I stumbled upon this old thread but still decided to ask how have you been doing?
Biking ten miles per day sounds intense and should lead to impressive results I presume. I'm asking this because I decided to try the same here. I also own a Schwinn but it's a hybrid bike as mentioned here. Will it be enough for this?
Post from cabin111 was really helpful but still.

So have really been hitting the gym much harder lately. Increasing times and resistance on the Elliptical and Stationary Bike..Also, started an actual workout in the pool instead of just swimming laps.
Even today, I started doing some squats..so hopefully, all this training will get me back to running.
Of course, not sure what I will be doing for the next 3 months because Tax Season starts and I have taken on a second job as a Video Tax Consultant for Turbo Tax..so, my workout hours may drastically be decreased or at least altered..
