What type of results does the stationary bike yield??

 I'm trying to get my legs a bit more tone, while at the same time appear thinner.  I want to lose anothher 20lbs and it's seemingly impossible.

For me, I have to expend very little effort on the stationary bike so I don't do it. I stick with the elliptical and the treadmill and use the bike when I am injured. It doesn't get my heart rate up. BUT - if you take a spin class that is a whole different ballgame. You might want to try that or try biking outdoors if riding a bike is your thing!

The stationary bike is a great tool if you use it correctly. If you increase the intensity and drive your heart up you for a minimum of 30 minutes you should end up in a puddle of sweat with great legs. If you don't have a puddle of sweat your not doing the bike justice. It is the same as a spin class except you set your own pace and goals.
