Hey Everyone,

Quick question I was wondering if outdoor bike riding helps shape your glutes/bum/*kitten* ect? Because I've decided I'm going to bike to my gym everyday instead of driving :)

Ill still be doing my regular 'leg day' etc just wanting to know if biking will assist ;)

Thanks in advance :) x

    The quadriceps and hamstrings do most of the work when you ride a bicycle....but they are neighbors to the glutes :-)

    You will feel the greatest impact in your glutes, quads and calf muscles.

    Head for the hills, cycle in a high gear or cycle standing up to maximise the results from your time on the bike.

    You'd be better off roller blading to the gym.

    If nothing else, it'll amp up your cardio. Do some squats when you get to the gym and you'll be fine.

    I ride my bike to the gym often and it is good for cardio, and you feel like you are loosened up, but it does nothing for shaping the *kitten*.. do some squats, stiff leg deadlifts or lunges, and maybe some squats?

    Are squats best for lifting and adding to the butt??? I don't want to waste time doing something that won't work. How many should I do each day???

    Definitely heavy on the legs with weights three times a week. I would like to go harder but my schedule doesn't permit.

    I wouldn't count on cycling to give you a good *kitten*. If you want some tips on getting a great *kitten* check out Brett Contreras's blog or grab one of his ebook workout programs. He's known as the "glute guy" and the leading expert in building glutes.

    On top of the exercises suggested don't forget to include hip thrusters and weighted hip bridges in your sessions. You may get some strange looks but they will destroy your glutes in a way that squats don't
