BTW, the best calorie burning exercise is dancing! Do some stretching before and then plop in a CD that you enjoy that really gets you moving. It builds cardio-vascular and burns calories!

Like I said before, I've been doing that already, esp since it got
colder and the mountain biking is on hold.

Ah, you do realise that if you build muscle you won't loose as much weight? Muscle weighs more than fat

Yes. In the summer, I was actually gaining weight, putting on muscle
from the biking. Legs were looking good, stomach, not so...biking does
nothing for the abdomen.

And, just curious, why wouldn't you want to do
non-cardio exercises. Dancing, which is a cardio exercise, builds muscle and flexibility.

I said no cardio because I already get enough cardio. I dance, ride
bikes(outside and stationary inside), and walk already. The stationary
bike just is cardio...it really does nothing else, compared to regular
biking. I really just need the flexibility and strength building stuff,
with some calisthenics like sit ups or leg lifts thrown in.
