Anyone here use the Cycling machine as either a substitute to the Treadmill or just as an addition to their exercise?

a sauna/steam room is clutch. to me it's like an incentive to workout harder knowing that i'll be hitting the steam room afterwords. very good to relax the muscles. wish my current gym had one :-\

I do, my cardio is mostly done on the standing bicycle, but feel it's more efficient at making my legs big than at burning fat.

I do the recumbent cycle as a warm up before the treadmill. It feels amazing to stand up and stretch my abs after 20 mins of sitting and spinning. Makes me go harder on the treadmill, imo

Muscle burns fat and some physiologists say the rectus femoris (part of the quadriceps in the thigh) and ass muscles are the strongest/biggest. The strongest/biggest muscle in your body burns the most calories. Even though your legs may be getting bigger you're burning more calories. Your weight may stay the same for a while but your shape will change from fat loss.

Keep an eye on your measurements I thought I was plateauing but my waist said otherwise. My legs are built like a brick shithouse. My thighs and calves are solid with hardly no fat. I hold all my fat in my mid section. I'm almost done with my second month of P90X and was getting pissed cause my weight hasn't dropped as much as I thought it would, but my measurements keep going down (in the right areas).

just masturbate w/ your left arm for awhile. makes it even out

I <3 <3 <3 the P90X Yoga DVD....90 minutes of pure bliss (aka ridiculously challenging, yet, amazing workout)


I havent had much trouble with it, considering my size, and my inexperience with Yoga. Its challenging, but I am doing quite well and can do the whole thing.

I may not be able to run very far, but my strength is pretty damn good. Now, If someone can tell me how to run more than 10 blocks without dying I might have a chance at losing some poundage LOL

I HATE doing yoga lol I go for a run instead. I can do all the moves cause I'm pretty flexible but for some reason I cant stand doing it. Did it for a couple weeks and said fuck it lol.

Try running at a slow pace for a long period of time and slowly work on your speed.

I used to be able to run 3 miles in 20 min, not anymore, but I'm working back up to it. Right now I'm running 4 miles at a 10 minute mile. I could run a lot faster but I like to run longer.
