What parts of the body does a indoor exercise bike with resistance work?


Is it the same as a on outdoor?

sorry an outdoor? I hate typos.

Yah, cycling in general works primarily the thighs and hamstrings and secondarily the butt and calves. That's if you're biking properly though, so make sure you're not only pushing down on the pedals at the top of the rotation but also pulling back at the bottom and lifting the pedal up. It's a better workout and you use more of the muscles in your legs. (plus it's easier to show up those big buff guys who have bad form cause you'll be going just as fast as them.)

The only differences would be in the bikes where you're feet are in front of you versus below you. The butt gets worked more in the former.
