Im getting an exercise bike, and I was wondering if it will give the same results as a treadmill? I plan on using the weight loss level for the bike and make it so its like a hill climb type. If I do this for 30 minutes everyday what will my results be?


Answer
Well if you put it on strong resistance (like going up a hill) you'll do a lot of cardio exercise but also tone your legs a lot - in fact if it's a lot of strain, you'll likely bulk up your legs a bit. Not sure if it's quite like a treadmill - for a start, different muscles are used in the legs. I used to do about 30mins bike per day plus 200 sit-ups and 100 push-ups and I toned up quite a lot over a couple of months. I also ran up and down my stairs, about 50 reps (like climbing 500 feet). That's just basic level stuff. I never got that fit nor that toned but it was certainly worth it versus no exercise and if I ate averagely (I eat a lot) I would have lost plenty of weight for sure.

I recently bought an exercise bike and apparently it can give me cancer?




Diomedes


It says "This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."

I know this is a warning issued in a lot of California products. But this is an exercise bike and I'll be exposed to it a long time. So, I'm a little worried. On the other hand, I'm sure the gym bikes have the same type of warning. People I see at the gym every day don't have cancer....What should I do? I think I'll just install it.



Answer
California is a cancer.
