Question #42: Exercise bike or cross trainer?
Which is best to lose fat around the thighs &
gut? Had a exercise bike for years which finally
broke two nights ago. It does the job fine, but
just wondered if the cross trainer would be a
better purchase. Price doesn't matter cos approx
they both cost the same
Answer: I would go for a cross trainer as you use your
arms and legs, the only thing is about space as
they take up quite a lot of space.

Answer: I usually find it's easiest to start off by
placing it near the closet...or near the master
bathroom since within 3 months it will mainly
function as a clothes rack.Just remember to clean
all the dust off of it before listing it for 25%
of retail on Craigslist.Don't bother thanking me

Question #45: i bought a new exercise Bike , i need your tips?
this is my very first time to use a stationary
bike ( the resistance is be adjusted manually) ,i
need to know what is your program for the bike
workouts i.e for how long ( minutes) , the
resistance level and the speed .EXERCISE BIKE
EXPERTS PLEASE HELP ME
Answer: First, adjust the bike to your size. The saddle
should be high enough so that when your foot is on
the pedal at the bottom of the stroke your knee
should be very slightly bent.Since it is tough to
know how the resistance on your particular bike
works I can't give you an exact setting. A good
rule of thumb is to start each workout at 0
resistance, then gradually increase it throughout
the exercise to a point where it is hard- but not
impossible- to pedal through the whole rotation,
maintaining the same cadence (pedals per minute)
for the entire time. You should be making about 60
revolutions of the pedals per minute- that is to
say that you should determine this using either
your left or right pedal since each knee goes up
once per rotation. Get it? This is harder to
explain than I thought. Start to finish you
should work out about 30 minutes, or 15 minutes
after you start to sweat whichever is longer.If
your bike includes foot straps, use them. Using an
exercise bike is not a "push-push"
affair, instead you should be "push pull
around and around", trying to power through
the entire rotation.As you become stronger, I
suggest increasing cadence. You'll notice it'll
take longer and longer from the time you start
until the time you start to sweat so you may want
to increase resistance sooner (and higher) as you
go along.One other thing... if you are doing this
to lose weight, you'll likely notice a decrease in
size first. Fat has twice the volume of muscle and
is about half the weight, so as you add muscle and
lose inches you might even see a temporary weight
gain.Be sure to stay well hydrated wit WATER as
you work out.Good Luck!

Question #48: Exercise Bike Opinions?
I am looking for a new exercise bike. My current
one has magnetic resistance and the handles move.
It is quite old and is starting to squeak. Nothing
seems to fix it permanantly so I'm ready to toss
it. Most of the bikes I've seen the handles don't
move or it uses adjustable air resistance-the
handles move but there is a fan. Any opinions? How
much more do you get out of a bike that has moving
handles?
Answer: I'd never really thought of it, but you would get
quite a bit more out of one with moving handles
because you would be using upper body muscles as
well as lower. Since upper body muscles are
smaller you would get your heart rate up quicker
and easier. I'm assuming the handles move
somewhat as if you were cross country skiing?
I've never had a bike with moving handles but I
think for the new one we'll get soon I'll look for
one like that. I don't know if I've been any help
to you, but I tend to agree with you that the
moving handles would be better.

Answer: I have a recumbent bike that is both very
comfortable and gives me a better work out than a
standard "riding" stationary bike. I
have one that also has magnetic resistance. As
for moving handles, I just use hand weights and
that provides a better work out while riding and I
can choose different movements during the
work-out.
