best indoor spinning bike image

What would happen if I did this 6-7 days a week ? ----- 3 sets of 10 incline squats and lunges. Eat all natural diet like I am now. Have a small body frame and 17 years old. Ride a indoor spinning bike for and hour or 2 a day at low resistance, and long endurance. Plus I'm about to start a job where I have to be on my feet walking around a store for 30 hours a week. And I have a few layers of fat over my legs and butt I'm hoping to get rid of it this way because I can't run anymore :(
Answer
Diet is more important then any exercise when it comes to losing weight. Exercise tones muscles if you do it right " low resistance " will just waste your time. It's not what you eat its how much. You want to start walking if you need to stand on your feet. Running is even better walk, run, walk, run. Cycling will help tone muscles that running doesn't use.
Start out with an easy 10 min warm up and then pedal at 70-90 rpm with just enough resistance to get you breathing elevated. You should be sweating after 15-20 min if you are doing it right. Watch TV and crank it up a little during the commercials.
Buy some good shoes with a crepe sole.

How can i tell if the resistance unit is broken or malfunction in an indoor bike trainer?

I just bought an indoor bike trainer Cycleops JetFluid Pro, the salesman said there is no stock left so he sold me the on in the showcase with no discount(which I'm unhappy with), he claimed that the trainer is new and no one has used it before. After i rode on it I feel that it's a lot easier to ride on the trainer than ride on the road, is that normal? How can i tell if it's broken or not?
Answer
If you have a speedometer that picks up speed from the rear wheel spinning should be fairly easy till you get to speeds over 15mph after that you should feel the resistance build. Now if you do not have a speedometer or a cadence meter to measure how fast you are pedaling count your revolutions and pedal around 80rpm, put your bike in the big ring gear and pedal at 80rpm. If you can pedal with no problem increase speed by going to a smaller rear gear. As get to smaller and smaller rear gears it should get fairly hard to pedal, if so the unit is working properly. Riding on a trainer doesn't feel the same as on the road as you can't simulate the wind, road surface or climbs, If you want the feel of a road ride the closest you can get would be to go with a VR trainer.
