What does the bicycle and the elliptical do?

What part of the body does the bicycle (the stationary one in the gym) work out? Is there a difference between the upright one and the one where you sit in a chair?

How about the elliptical? I've heard some people say it is the best work out machine because it can utilize all muscles...but i've also heard that it doesn't really do that much and is a waste of a work out.

They both work the same muscle groups- your butt, thighs, hamstrings and a little bit of your calves.

They are really great if you have joint problems because unlike most cardiovascular exercises, they do not put pressure on your joints so you can enjoy your work out more.

They are both great workouts with great benefits.

Good luck and have fun!
