Can exercise bikes tone your stomach up aswell as your legs? (even just a little bit, if i stand up and pedal.)How long should I cycle on it a day?How many calories should I burn with it?What does "odo" mean, it says it on the little screen but I have no clue what it means?Thanksxx

The stomach gets some work on a road bike because you move around more. Not much on an exercise bike. If you stand up that is good, but probably won't be that effective. Do some ab exercises afterwords.Any time on your exercise bike is good. 10-12 minutes helps. 20-30 minutes provides a nice rate of improvement. Longer than that is boring and takes disipline.The calories burned depends on your lean body size, intensity, and duration of the bike ride. If you bike vigorously for 20-30 minutes you are probably burning something like 200 calories.Odo is short for odometer. That measures distance.
