Also 4-6 hours of any cardio exercise a week will make you lose weight - I think average cycling burns about 500 calories an hour so that would be nearly a pound a week.

You lack the necessary hormones to bulk up. Cycling is just about the best thing you can do to get great muscle tone in your legs. People comment to me at the gym about my legs and I tell them it is from cycling. Back to top granta Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 3:36 am    Post subject: stationary bike it wood tone them.

Back to top Brown Eyes Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 5:01 am    Post subject: It all depends on how high your saddle is from the peddles. As a rule of thumb when the peddile is at its lowest point, your leg should be nearly straight, with a very slight bend to the knee,.When cycling in this position you will work all major muscles in your legs, including your bum and calves. I cycle about 50 mins a day and my legs are very slim and toned.Good luck and check your saddle height! Back to top
