Will riding a bicycle get me ‘six-pack’ abs?
I workout throughout the weekday. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday are for stomach area, and Tuesday and Friday are for the arms. Saturday and Sunday each day i ride my bike ten miles regardless of the wind and being too cold or too hot. My questions is does riding my bike this much help my ultimate goal of getting a six pack by the time of the summer?

ok so as a gym rat, really there are three steps to get six pack abs and they are in order of importance
1. change the way you see food, eat less, eat more often, eat healthier, if it calories from fat are greater than 10-15% of the total calories you should avoid it
2. cardio, and not this bullshit light jog for ten min crap, im talking 30 min a day 5 times a week work out a good sweat kind of cardio
3. ab exercise, at this point in the process the exercise is really just to get the abs to pop, its the first two that are all that maters,
as far as riding, too often people who ride arnt really getting the cardio they need, ie they go too easy, distance doesnt matter intensity does, try biking hills for thirty minutes
Riding a bike is mainly a cardiovascular exercise and has little to do with your stomach muscles. Many people cannot get a six pack due to there genetics. However you could lots and lots of sit-ups,crunches and reverse crunches to help lean down your stomach muscles. But on the other hand don’t stop riding the bike, it will lean down your legs and hip area.
If it burns fat, and assuming you have big ab muscles that are just waiting for the fat to go away then yes. But biking doesn’t really train your ab muscles.
Yes! If you have fat on your stomach then riding your bike should get rid of it, so the short answer is that it is effective.
The long answer is that you to not be so predictable for your body and cut out the stomach exercises for now. To get a six pack, you first need to get yourself as slim as possible and that’s done with cardio. Try increasing the energy intake in your diet and then doing at least 20 minutes of CARDIO every day.
However, make sure that the cardio you do is varied and not the same. Doing 10 miles on your bike might be good and make you feel acomplished, but it’s only going to make your body do the same things and that isn’t an effective way to burn fat. You need to do things like running, biking, walkig and aerobics. Just do varying things to make your body unsure and burn a lot of fat.
After you’ve got yourself slimmed down, you can then make your abs more toned and pronounced by using different abs exercises, such as sit ups, crunches and kettle bells.
How quickly these methods will work depends entirely on the exercises / techniques you use and how effective they are. You can see some effective techniques at http://www.beach-body-secrets.com/squeeze.html
