Dose the Exercise bike help to lose wight from the upper side of the body? if yes, is it as the same level as the lower side, more, or less?
Answer
Depends on the bike. Some bikes engage the arms, however, most do not. The bike isn't for toning up, really, it's a cardio exercise primarily. If you want to tone up, the best way to do that is to do some sort of strength training (our club calls it "Sculpt" class...there's also "body pump" or just working out on the machines, OR it's entirely possibly to do a strength routine at home with a set of handheld weights, and possibly an exercise ball). Strength training should be done 3 days per week, taking a day off in between to let the muscles repair.
Of course the bike helps to tone your legs, but honestly when I do spin, my upper body doesn't get any true toning at all.

15 min on Exercise bike?
k
Can I do 15 min on exercise bike 3 or 4 times a day ? Will that help lose weight or not ?
Answer
If your diet is OK, and if that's all you can do, then yes, it will help burn SOMETHING off. If you lose weight, it will be because of the diet(mostly). Of course it will help somewhat, but it won't do anything significant.
It depends too much on your current body for me to just write something off. How much do you weigh? How tall are you?
It CAN help a lot if your diet is good, and you weigh more than 220lbs, with more than 30% body fat.
But if you're just a regular person trying to lose some love handles, or some tummy fat, then doing this won't do much, and your diet will stand for most fat loss.
If you have any further in-depth questions, feel free to mail me, but make sure to explain everything as good as you can.
If you want some real exercise programs or routines, make sure to mail me and I can make sure you lose some serious weight(they are real, tough 2-3x/week programs/routines, though).
@joe714: That's only if it's done intense enough. Assuming that the person who asked this is like most people who go to the gym, he/she will be riding the bike at a medium pace. And the rest between the "times", considering he/she wrote 3-4x/day, can be hours, as long as he/she does it 3x/day.
So unless it's fast paced and with short rest periods, it really won't do much. It's the intensity of the workout which is the key, not the short duration. Please, read the study properly, or read a properly written study.
If you pit two people biking at moderate speed, the person riding the bike for the longest time will lose the most weight.
If you pit two people once again riding a bike, where one person does 5 intense bursts, but the other person rides for half an hour, or more, THEN we can see some good results in the person riding for the shortest duration of time.
