So I'm spinning on a twister /spin disc
thinking my waist will become thinner. I
looked on the net to see if anyone was
successful with twisting and there isn't a
single satisfactory result to my research.
everybody says twisting improves the ab
muscles and I Don't want to develop ab
muscles. I want to reduce the waist line
while keeping the hip size as it is.
Yes I'm going for an hourglass. ^_^
so does twisting really help.. if it doesn't,
what does?
thanks in advance!
ps : I'm a female!

No.
Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.
Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn.
Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.
An average person must walk about five miles every day of the week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.
Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness.
It is not possible to lose fat only from a specific part of your body of your choosing. Where your body stores and removes fat is determined by your genetics and there is nothing you can do to change that short of radical procedures such as liposuction. And, in general, where it stores fat first is where it will lose it last and visa versa. The world of health and fitness has an unfortunate abundance of myths and spot reduction is one of them. There is no exercise, no pill, no supplements, no spa treatment, and no natural way to spot reduce. Your only choice is to create a caloric deficit with diet and exercise, burn fat, and wait for it to leave the desired body parts.

You have one choice. Start losing fat and wait for it to leave your waist. If that does not result in the hourglass you want, then you're genes aren't going to allow it to happen. We are all 99% nature (genetics) and 1% nurture (changeable). Here is what we can do to sculpt our bodies.
1. Add fat - Adding fat for all but the extreme ectomorph is a simple matter of eating too many calories over a long period of time. We have no control over where the fat will be deposited on our body.
2. Lose fat - Fat loss must begin with diet. Exercise can help but no exercise can make someone lose fat if they eat too many calories. We have no control over where the fat leaves our body.
3. Add muscle - Add muscle size requires a commitment to very hard strength training (anaerobics). We don't get big muscles from aerobic ("cardio") exercise. It only comes very slowly from working out against substantial resistance.
4. Lose muscle - We cannot lose natural (genetic) muscle. We can, however, allow our muscles to atrophy or grow smaller by not using them. This, of course, is not a healthy option but it is the only way to make lean muscle smaller (less volume).
That's it. That's all we can do without surgery. If fat loss doesn't work, your only option is lipo.

What are the benefits of riding a stationary bike?
The Tycoon
Answer
it is a fitness tool, like many others. i use my trainer on days i can't get outside to ride for one reason or another. in fact, my trainer sees more days than i put in actually riding if you factor in winter. last night for example, my wife worked, i had the kids, so it was a night to ride the trainer.
i find the trainer is boring. in that boredom, it isnt always effective. i find i can spin along and my heartrate never goes above 120's if i dont push myself. by using a heartrate monitor i ensure i am working. last night, i held my HR at 175-180 for the last five minutes, so clearly you can work hard on a trainer if you push yourself.
it works your legs and cardiovascular. combined with diet it can be an effective part of your fitness plan.
