Your legs after cycling

[lauraelmore1033]

I'm sure my legs resemble yours under the rather generous fat layer. Not sure that is because of cycling though. I've always found it embarassing because, as some have mentioned, they're not very feminine.

I think they look like a sprinter's legs. Looks like you have some power!

I used to walk 4 miles every day, and my legs still didn't have any definition. Now my legs have a nice groove down the sides. I like what cycling has done for them. Seeing that groove develop was a early great motivator for getting me on the bike. Now it's second nature, and I need to ride or I go nuts, but before that happened, it was all about that groove.

When I opened this thread again and saw the pictures a second time, they started to remind me of what a sprinter's legs look like. So, what kind of cycling do you do? Rides for fun, centuries, any racing, etc.?

I'm not at all a cycling specialist. My main sport is fitness. I thought that cycling would help to add size and shape to my thighs, which is a very important part in my sport. I train on the bike 3 times/week. After warming up, I do some intervals: sprinting for 40 to 60 seconds and recovering for 1 to 3 minutes. I currently do 20 sprint intervals.

Are you riding outside or inside? Indoor cycling class is how I increased my fitness for the bike - I do strength training but the purpose of it is to support my cycling. If you do ride outside what kind of bike do you have?

If you really wanna add thigh, get into track racing.
