Gymming vs Cycling?

[Shay092]

I intend to improve my fitness. I don't really like the muscular built up but I really fancy Abs. I've been exploring the idea of cycling and it appeals me more than joining a gym.
What are your views regarding the question - Gym or Cycling?

You need both or you will develop huge imbalances and have very weak hips with strong core and legs. Which will cause knee and hip pain and can cause tendonitis in your knees. I've gone through it. Im huge into fitness and a bodybuilder. Trust me. You need both lol watch strength camp on YouTube he will teach you.

Thanks mate! I'll definitely check out :)

No reason you can't do both. But if you want nice abs, you don't have to go to a gym, you can do all the necessary core strength exercises at home.

[Shay092]

I don't understand. Never been to a gym.
Could you please elaborate?

Cycling is cardio, low or high intensity depending on how you cycle. But you will not build abs with it, its leg muscle.

[Shay092]

They say the position in which you sit while riding does the ab work. Do you think it works?

[JenSCDC]

I wouldn't say that it works.

[Xfitchick]
