Will riding a bike lift your butt and tone it?

Question

Will riding a bike lift your butt and tone it?

Answer 1

I don't know. Do squats and lunges. They will.

Answer 2

The only time I feel like I'm working my butt is when I attack/sprint on a hill and stay down on my aero bars. Assuming you're not riding a tri-bike, you'll probably never feel like you're working your butt, but in general everything is going to tone and firm up, you just wont feel it.

Answer 3

It will if you have the time to ride at least 75 miles a week for a year or so.  When you ride you do use your butt muscles, they are the biggest set of muscles in your body.

Answer 4

it will give you a great workout on the upper part of the legs and somewhat on the butt, lol

Answer 5

It hasn't lifted or toned mine.

Seriously, no, your glutes aren't exercised much by biking.

Answer 6

You will definitely burn calories and that will help.  You don't have to cycle for strength in high gear.  To get a better toning workout try "spinning" just drop to a lesser gear and then up the rotation rate.  It works on the excercise bike the same as on the road!

Good luck - really there is no finer site in the world to a cyclist than a well-toned female rider!  I can't wait to see you in the bike lane!

OK seriously - you can do this and if you can incorporate bike riding into your life - say as part of your commute then you will not only reap the benefits of good health and a killer bod, but you'll save money and time!
