Weight cycling is the repeated loss and regain of body weight. When weight cycling is the result of dieting, it is often called yo-yo dieting. A weight cycle can range from small weight losses and gains (5-10 lbs. per cycle) to large changes in weight (50 lbs. or more per cycle).
The quadriceps at the front of your thighs and the hamstrings at back are the primary muscles in your lower body used during cycling, but the gastrocnemius and smaller soleus muscles in your calves are also utilized.
