Doing any sort of excersize will help you lose weight everywhere in your body, though cycling will target and strengthen your leg muscles.  Ride alot, though, and you'll certianly loose weight everywhere.  If you'r loosing to lose weight fram you butt, then cycling wont do it as efficienty as say, a stair climber, but you'll lose it.

As mentioned running is a great way to achieve this goal. You can also try swimming. These will lead to burning the most calories per hour of activity. Basically one loses weight in gradual quantities from all different parts your body at once, so these exercises will lead to the best lost. Hills, stairs, squats, lunges, etc will target/tone your glutes.

It is a scam!  If you are trying to tone your thighs the first thing you need to do is cardio to get rid of any unnecessary fat you may have.  (Cardio will help you burn fat all over your body).  Doing squats and lunges of different varieties will help you tone your thighs.  The combo of cardio and resistance training (squats and lunges), will help you loose inches.  Forget things like the thigh master, six second abs and other scams that just want your money and wont do anything for you.

You don't need to lose ten pounds.  If you are flabby, just exercise and firm up.  At your height, that weight is just fine.

There's no way to entirely avoid affecting the rest of your body.  Any exercise raises your metabolism generally, heart rate and respiration, and that affects your whole body.  But you can emphasize the thighs and buttocks with walking and running, bicycling, swimming; anything that uses the lower half of the body more than the upper.  The calves are almost always affected by anything that affects the thighs, of course, since the leg is a single functioning unit in most exercises.  But the good news is that, since thighs and buttocks store fat more than calves do, when you "burn" by raising your metabolism, those storage areas are affected more than the more lean areas.\n\nOne exercise that affects the thighs and buttocks more than the calves is something I've never been able to do, but which if you can do it, works well.  It's that thing called "bicycling" by the gym teacher, which you do upside down.  Stick your legs in the air, hold your butt off the floor with your hands, and rotate your legs as if you were riding a bicycle upside-down.  \n\nIf you are lean enough to do it, it should be just what you want.  If, like me, you simply cannot hold yourself in that position, it's humiliating.  But then I was always being humiliated in gym class . . .

Lots of cardio (4 days a week at least 45 minutes, shoot for higher), reduce your total calories, and perform step up lunges for 22-25 reps maybe higher. avoid using any heavy weights since your not trying to create a large muscular butt.

To lose one pound, you have to burn 3,500 calories. Sound tough? Not if you break it down. To lose a pound a week, do an hour each day of any activity that burns an extra 500 calories.\n\nThe number of calories you'll burn during exercise is affected by your body weight, the intensity of your workout, your conditioning level, and metabolism, so burn rates are only an estimate. But here are ten activities that blast about 500 calories per hour, based on the weight of a 130-pound woman.\n    *\n\n      Rowing (vigorous effort): 502\n    *\n\n      Running 5.2 mph (11.5 minute mile): 531\n    *\n\n      Ice skating 9 mph: 531\n    *\n\n      Kickboxing: 590\n    *\n\n      Rock climbing (ascending): 649\n    *\n\n      Cross-country skiing (vigorous effort): 531\n    *\n\n      Swimming laps freestyle (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Bicycling 14 - 15.9 mph (vigorous effort): 590\n    *\n\n      Walking up stairs: 472\n    *\n\n      Running up stairs: 885

It's impossible to say, but it would most definately be beneficial.\n\nBiking is a great exercise becuase not only do you build calories, you also build muscle tissue in your lower body.  Because your lower body groups are the largest, they build up faster.\n\nThis is important because from a weight-loss perspective, every pound of muscle that you add burns about an additional 50 calories per day.  A pound of fat contains about 2,000 calories.  If your weight is relatively constant now, and you were to add 5 pounds of muscle, without changing your diet, you would lose about one pound every eight days just from adding the extra muscle tissue.\n\nSo really, the number of calories burned just from riding the bike, while beneficial, are secondary.

Unfortunately you can't tell how many calories are burned with your heart rate that I know of, I could be wrong tho, it's happened before! lol  \n  If you go to your yahoo search engine and type in "calorie expenditure chart" you'll see some charts there for calorie burning.  If spinning isn't on the chart, just double what you see for bike riding.  Good for you-spinning is a great fat burner, and what it does for your legs is unbelievable!  good  for you!

First of all make sure you are using proper form and technique. Consult a personal trainer otherwise you risk injury. Secondly, 10 pounds might be too light for you, but once you use the correct form you might finally feel the burn.

I am assuming that the "500 calories" you said you are burning are based on what the machine displays.  This may not always be the most accurate assessment.  I would pay more attention to your heart rate, which will be a better indicator of whether you are in your aerobic fat-burning zone or not.  This can be ROUGHLY calculated by 220 minus your age (your predicted max heart rate) multiplied by the workout intensity (usually a pretty tough workout is 75% to 80%.) eg. if you are 30 years old, 220 - 30 = 190 x .75 = 142 heart rate.  Keeping your heart rate in this age will burn fat and, of course calories.

Well, it depends. If you are active enough, yes, but it won't be a substancial loss. Just like hunnerd or so calories.

Heh, yea biking is an excellent way to loose excess pounds. I have raced bikes since I was 10-11 and I am 21 now-- I'm 6'0" and am only 147 pounds. You probably shouldn't expect to become that light, it takes hours and hours on a saddle-- I would expect most people would want to be a little heavier anyways. The amount of weight you will loose is dependent on how many calories you are able to burn per ride, versus how many calories you eat in one day. The speed that you have to ride to burn a certain amount of calories is dependent on serveral variables: 1. What kind of bike you have (Road or Mountain... or hybrid) 2. The terrain that you will ride on (hilly, flat, huge climbs, etc.) 3. And what kind of wind you will encounter (headwind, tailwind, etc.).  Most important, is that you keep the drive to ride. You have to begin to love riding, and not see it as a chore. The way I do this, is to keep my self motivated my charting by progress. Visit free websites like bikejournal.com where you can log your rides with an included calorie calculator. The website also offers a community of people, many with similar fitness goals as you. As you begin your new exercise routine, its important to remember that starting any new excerise is extremely difficult that first week. You will feel sluggish, and slow, but please understand that this is only temporary, as your muscles get used the the actions on a bike, rides will become exponentially more enjoyable. A good way to begin is to start easy, a flat ride at a moderate pace. Keep your RPMs below 70. After one week, you sould be able to turn the pedals at about 75 RPM, and after a month around 80. I know a poster above states she rides at 60RPM, but either a) thats not fast enought to really get an effective aerobic workout, or b) her gearing is off... ideally your RPM should hover at around 80 when you are riding a flat stretch (calculating by counting the amount of pedal strokes you take in 10 seconds and multiply by 60... or going out an purchasing a bike computer for about $30-50). Best of luck, and ride long, far, and fast.

Running, by far.  If I run for about 10 minutes I can burn about 100 calories.  It would take me 20 minutes to burn that many calories by biking.\n\n(Although if you are trying to get somewhere, it is definitely faster to bike!)

It will help firm your Glutious Maximus. When your body burns fat it does it system wide so to speak, you can not target burn fat so yes you will begin to loose fat everywhere including your abs however you will hinder this if your diet contains to many calories, dont get me wrong, you do need a specific amount of calories comprised of good fats and carbohydrates in order to burn fat efficiently but you should find out how many calories your body in particular needs to loose fat effectively with your training regiment.\n\nAs far as how long. Everyone is different but with the right diet and exercise plan you or others may begin to see the results in as little as a week usually 3 weeks or so. Either way just keep up the good work and you will achieve your goal some time in the near future.

Cardio exercises such as running, walking, cycling -- which burn fat overall -- can help.\n\nAlso do the full cycle of leg machines -- leg curls, leg extensions, leg press, and hip adduction and abduction.
