Cycling!
Hey guys, I recently joined a gym. Cycling is one of the classes that best fits my terrible schedule, so I've been doing it a lot.
Any experience with how cycling has affected your body? I really like it and the instructor that runs, but I'm concerned it will bulk up my legs. I'm a TRUE pear shape--and my thighs/saddlebags are the reason I want to lose weight. I'd love to have legs like some of the girls in my class, but I'm just concerned that my legs will get bigger. Thanks! |

I went to a spinning class once and really liked it. Really made me work hard, but boy did my but hurt!!! That was the worst part! |
Spinning should be fine. Its the higher gears that build muscle.
I'm a pear shape and at times i do lots, and i mean LOTS of cycling. Like 100km a day and it does add muscle but then i ride with the weight of packed panniers and hills and things. All exercise will build muscle if your diet is right. But its resistance training that builds most muscle so any sport where you need to use more strength will build it. Have you ever considered doing yoga. It would give an overall more even muscle result. |
I just got a bike last year, I absolutely love it!
By the end of the summer I was doing 20 mile rides. It was doing wonders for my legs & tush :) |
