I would like to lose about five pounds and just slim my body a bit. I don't want to lose tons of weight or necisarily drop a size just get a little slimmer. I am doing crunches and squats every day. I used to run but I honestly hate it. Is a stationary bike a good alternative, is it good exercise?

the bike is a good alternative, i suggst putting it on the random option to increase resistance, the bike is just like a treadmill in that you have to do more in order to equal the same distance on a real road because you dont have body weight and road resistance slowing you down. try jumping rope, workout videos, or using an elliptical, you may burn more calories this way.

I experience jogging and do two miles everyday, climate enabling. Today I have four" of clean snow and can spend 20 min on a desk bound motorbike. I'm diabetic and understand that the motorbike will curb my sugar, however now not up to jogging. A desk bound motorbike is a well style of endeavor, I do not care what someone says. Aside from the legs, it offers the guts and lungs a well exercise. Remember , any style of endeavor is larger than no endeavor!!

I've had a stationary bike for a few years, really is great. It's good for your cardiovascular system, all around good workout.
