i would like to loose an inch off my legs but ive heard that they will get bigger by ripping the muscle if i only use the bike so what's the deal??
ok cool, so if i lift 5 lbs weights with my arms (which is what i usually do) that will be better? i only do 2 sets of 10 4 or 5 different ways on my arms, and with my abs, i usually do sit ups/crunches on a ball so is that good? O && i would run but i have to watch my heart rate since i have heart disease/ but thank you so much guys!!!
 
It's not possible to lose fat off of one specific area of the body. Strength training (primarily for your thighs) mixed with cardio should help you achieve the results you want. But you'll lose fat all over while building lean muscle in the areas you want.
 
Your legs will get smaller, muscle is twice as dense as fat. Cycling is a cardiovascular exercise so you will never get big muscles they only will get toned. To get big bulky muscles you need to lift heavy weights. To lose fat around the legs it must come off every place else too, there is no such thing as spot reducing.
 
No they wont get bigger. i'm a personal trainer so I know. If you use the bike and put the gear on light resistance then just work hard for a certain amount of time and get our heart rate up, your legs wont get bigger. only if you lifted heavy weights with low reps. if you lift light weight with high repsyou'lll burn fat. also Iwouldn'tt just use the bike, add upper body work as well as abs. the body is a machine and if you only take care of one part the fat will just move to the other parts.
