QUESTION:
Hello, I'm a 5'8" tall 180 pound woman. Will recumbent exercise bikes help tone and reduce cellulite in legs?
ANSWER:
That is a very general question and the very general answer is: Yes! Is a recumbent bike better than a treadmill, stairmaster, a track or eating less calories? No. Cellulite is a by-product of having excess body fat for most people. Your dimensions would indicate your body fat percentage is high. You can check the page about Body Fat Percentage in Women to learn more about it.
A cardio exercise program which can include a recumbent bike will burn calories based on the time and effort you put into your exercise sessions. It is up to you to eat less calories (food energy) than you burn to provide a stimulus for your body to burn fat as fuel. Once you lower your body fat to a healthy percentage then cellulite will be reduced. If you're asking whether exercising on a recumbent bike will magically lessen cellulite in your legs at your current dimensions the answer is no. You have to lose weight first.
