Used Exercise Bikes

Question...

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.
