How effective are exercise bikes to shed pounds in the gut area?
In college I used exercise bikes frequently and it really helped my stamina when I ran long distances. Im just wondering if the exercise bike helps shed some stomach fat.

- They do. but running would probably be the better option, that burns fat alittle faster.
- Exercise does not burn fat in any selective area. You burn fat throughout your entire body. If you want to tone up your stomach areas, you should do some ab-specific exercises in addition to your cardio workouts. I do a lot of cycling, it's a great cardio workout and not as tough on the knees and joints as running is, although running and cycling work different muscle groups.
- I would choose swimming if an indoor pool is available in your area. I personally ride an exercise bike at home for convenience and time conservation. I think any helpful advice to you should be based on the climate where you live. And since you had exercise bike success in your past, I would be biased to returning to the bike. All factors being equal.
