Veta Slicker: "Spin" those pedals at a rate or "cadence" between at least 70-90 rpm in gears that are easy to use with moderate pedal pressure vs. "pushing" or mashing down in too high of a gear or too high of a resistance setting. 100-125 rpm for bursts of speed or to climb a hill. Spinning (either on an indoor or outdoor bike) will give you flexibility. Climbing a hill here & there will give you strength. Time on the bike (60 minutes, 4 to 5 times per week) will give you the cardiovascular conditioning. If you're talking about those weight bands you add to your ankles...I wouldn't....Show more
Ardelia Liptow: The best thing for dancing is to dance. Check around the web there are plenty of aerobic exercises that will relate to dancing. Cycling will help you say in shape but wont use the muscles that dancing does.
Mitzie Clough: Cycling will help your cardiovascular conditioning, but doesn't touch all those little muscles needed for lateral motions. ! Muscle recruitment is totally different. Don't know what you mean by "resistance bands".
