How to Grill Flank Steak. Flank steak is a flavorful cut of meat taken from the flank (lower abdominal region) of the cow. In the hands of a budget-minded cook, flank steak can be a delicious yet affordable alternative to pricier cuts of beef like prime rib and other steak varieties (T-bone, ribeye, etc.).
Although riding a stationary bike is predominantly a lower-body and cardiovascular exercise, your upper-body muscles get in on the act too. As you lean forward on the handlebars, your triceps, deltoids and pectoralis major muscles must work to support your weight.
However, scooting closer to the pedals, which place your knees at a bent angle, help work the lower abdominal muscles well. The recumbent bike also builds the quadriceps. These are the muscles that are along your upper thighs. The quadriceps are large muscles and this benefits your body and the aesthetics of your legs. While pedaling the recumbent bike, your upper leg is engaged and moves up and down, which effectively works these muscles.
