Do exercise bikes really do anything?

Answer 1

Hi Fizz! Exercise bikes offer great cardio workouts and are an effective method of burning calories. Unlike treadmills they have no impact on your leg joints (which is the biggest complaint among treadmill owners). The exercise is done from a seated position, which by its nature takes strain off of the legs, normally allowing for longer workouts than a treadmill or elliptical. The cycling exercise is quite familiar to most people, making the user comfortable on the unit from the very start. If you're looking for a well built exercise bike with a lifetime warranty, I'd suggest the Endurance line. I hope that helps... Happy exercise bike hunting!

Answer 2

Yes, they turn on and the peddles move. Thats what they do, but some actually offer resistance with the intent the someone riding the bike can build leg muscles and burn calories

Answer 3

yes..exsercise bikes can enable you to burn calories and if it has any resistance levels, it can help build muscles..but remember, excersise bikes and the real bike is different..
for example (from my own experience)
if you go on the stationary one for four hours...you'll lose half a pound at most...but if you go on the real one for 4 hours..you'll lose 3-4 lbs at most...but both builds muscles the same way.
