I have been researching the spinner bike and it burns tons of calories. The bikes looks just like a regular exercise bike. Have anyone experience riding the spinner bike, is there a difference?
Answer
Hi Teresa! I'm familiar with spinner bikes. Normal users don't seem to care for them. The reason is motivation. A spinner bike is used best at a spinning class (say at the YMCA/YWCA where the teacher/class provide motivation) or purchased by "road warrior" cycling enthusiasts who are highly self motivated to supplement outdoor training when they can't "hit the road". In any event, without cycling or spinning training, a spinner bike should not be considered. With a spinner bike there's shifting involved and normally no programs or electronics to guide the user through a workout. In otherwords, it isn't the spinner bike that burns more calories, but the motivation to push oneself. Also, the average person can't handle the strenuous spinner bike workouts, so paying substantially more for a spinner bike, rather than a normal exercise bike (recumbent or upright) would be a waste of money. In the end, spinning without proper training could actually have a negative impact on a person's outlook, causing them to loose interest in exercising altogether...
You'll get a great cardio workout with either a recumbent or upright exercise bike. Quality exercise bikes will run $500 - $2,000 or more. Stay away from the low end bikes and look for one with a good warranty of 10 years or more. I'd suggest Endurance exercise bikes because they have Lifetime warranties. I hope that helps... Happy exercise bike hunting!

How do teen girls have flat stomachs?
Andy
Okay well I'm nearly 15 and I workout 4-5 days a week. Mon, wed, and Friday I usually do weights (little weight but 12 reps and 3 sets) on Thursdays and maybe Tuesdays I do cardio based workouts (10 mins on spin bike, 10 mins on cross trainer, 2 mins skipping and the rest hard abs exercises for straight 10 mins.
I also kind of train myself in gymnastics, I stretch out splits, hand stands, scorpion/needle stretches etc. (also any help with those from any gymnasts?)
Now I know of girls in my school who have flat stomachs that don't do as much exercise as me.. So what do I need to do different? I used to do lots of running which is my favorite thing ever.
If going for runs is the only way to do it, what is a running workout I can start? (Days of week- how far, how long, how much)
And if there is any ideas of something I can go hard at for 2 or 3 weeks to see some result, I'm ready for a challenge! :)
Or any sit ups/crunches I should do when wake up or go to sleep?
I have a good diet to by the way.
Help! And thanks!
Answer
Running is a great runner. I am an avid runner and I'm currently working on a six pack but I already have a fairly flat tummy. I don't know how I shape you are but this is what I did this week. Get in shape before you do too intense of workouts or you will hurt yourself
Sunday- 6 mile run at 8 min/mile pace
Monday-10 min at 9 min/mile pace, then 6:30 fast mile, then 800m cool down at 9min/mile pace
Tuesday-45 min run at 8:30 min/ mile pace
Wednesday- 9 400 meter repeats at 6:30 mile pace (800 meter warm up and 800 meter cool down as well at 9 min/mile pace
Thursday- an hour and half of strength training including a bunch of ab workouts and speed
Friday-( hasn't occurred yet) about ten 200 meter sprints not quite sure yet
Also I try to fit in 100-200 crunches a day
