Mixing a cardio exercise (ex. running, spin bike etc) with a resistance exercise is a great way to burn calories. I use the spin bike often during the precontest fat loss period for figure competitors. The key is to push hard on the spin bike so that you get the maximum benefit when you move on to your resistance exercise.

The video below shows the:
spin bike + jump squats
spin bike + Db squat presses
Turn the tension up on the spin bike so that it's difficult to pedal. Push hard, your leg muscles should be burning by the time you get off the bike.
Workout idea:
(perfrom the following 9 sets without interrupton - this is one giant set)
1) 100 reps on the spin bike + 20 jump squats
2) 110 reps on the spin bike + 20 jump squats
3) 120 reps on the spin bike + 20 jump squats
4) 130 reps on the spin bike + 20 Db squat presses
5) 140 reps on the spin bike + 20 Db squat presses
6) 150 reps on the spin bike + 20 Db squat presses
7) 160 reps on the spin bike + max pushups
8) 170 reps on the spin bike + max pushups
9) 180 reps on the spin bike + max pushups

It's important for anyone getting ready for a figure show to constantly try to force the body to lose body fat. Sometime switching the type of workout can be the spark to keep fat loss going.

I was wondering the same thing about the bike reps. Does left / right full rotation count as one?

I'm going to give this workout a try tomorrow using the left / right full rotation count - will make it longer.

Same question as above. What exactly is a rep on the bike AND if I were to use a treadmill instead, how would I do that? Thanks!

This is one of the most amazing weblogs I’ve study in a while. The quantity of information in here is gorgeous, like you essentially wrote the book on the topic.
