Question: Will an exercise bike tone up my bottom?


Question Description:
I have just bought an exercise bike and am aiming to do 30 mins on it one day then 1hour the next. So far Im finding it good, but Ive only had it a week. I was just wondering if this kind of exercise will tone my bottom and if so, does it do as good a job as a real bike? Also I have quite large legs (its where much of my weight is stored) and I really do not want them to get bigger, I dont use high tension, just more peddling. Will my legs get huge?

Answer#1: Peddle steadily not race mode, and you will strengthan muscles without getting them to big, (pronouced). Outside riding is better as you are breathing fresh air so drag the one wheeler in to the garden and when it's raining just get on with it. Youwill have to pedal harder to keep warm but that just adds to the overall benefit. Just do it! A.


Answer#2: It WILL tone your bum. I was doing 7 miles everyday and I could really notice the difference. It will also be good for toning your legs,mine look much better.


Answer#3: Moving the saddle further back will involve more gluteal muscle in the cycling action. It will help tone your bum and is certainly better than sitting on your bum doing nothing.:o)


Answer#4: Hi,No the ex bike will not help your rear, as a Thai Boxer for 11 years I really think you should cut out the equipment and go back to basics ie: sit ups crunches,running,skipping,lunges etc.x


Answer#5: I think you should visit www.healthalife.com for information on weight loss and tonning up. Its really packed with lots of resources. You could even eat your favourite food and still loose weight.


Answer#6: Unfortunately, you cannot target the area you wish to burn fat in. You need to drop your overall body fat% to see results in particular areas. A stationary bike is a good way to burn calories though. You won't build any muscle using the bike unless you are using a high amount of resistance on consistant basis


Answer#7: Ya usually but not always... it depends on how hard or far your peddling


Answer#8: Best way is running. Bikes are not as effective
