treadmill burns a lot more calories, neither will bulk up your legs,
bike is also good for lower abs

i ask because of an article i read that had a workout for 40 mins on a bike burning 500 cal and on a treadmill for 60 min burning 500 as well. so i was wondering about that. anybody else have a thought on this..

thanks.. ebatz

too hard to know for sure really unless you use a treadmill that allwos u to enter our weight....and monitor your heart rate and go at the same intensity on a bike with the exact same statistics

the calories most treadmills and cardio equipment dispaly is fairly in accurate as muscle has a higer metabolic rate than fat....so if I get on a treadmill and weigh 250lbs at 12% bf (not my stats) and another guy gets on the smae tread mill and is 250 and 18% bf even at the exact same speed and heart rate I will burn more caloires because I have more muscle
