Can running tighten your stomach muscles?

Does cycling help tighten your ab/stomach muscles?

  • I was wondering does cycling help your ab/stomach muscles? I lay with my back flat on the ground and mu legs up on the couch. What I do is arch my back a little like im about to do a sit up, and then I cycle with my legs in the air as if I'm riding a bike,does this help work those stomach muscles? I really feel it in my stomach and my legs, and only last about a minute long(building stamina!) If its not, why do I the burn so much? What is it working? Also, if i don't come all the way up on a sit up, will I still get good results? I heard you don't have to go all the way up, you can if you want, but it all works the same. So what works the BEST?? Please and thanks with the help

Yes! If you're moving your legs in an exercise like that, it's almost always working your lower abs. :) And yes. In fact, when you only lift your shoulders up in a sit up you work your solar plexus muscle (not sure if it has another name). :D

Fat loss in general will help tighten your ab muscles more than anything. First focus on fat loss and then only workout. Use planks and side planks instead of crunches. Crunches over a period of time will develop lower back pain!
