Does cycling standinh up work muscles?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It certainly does. It is good to mix-up your positions to vary the muscle actions and the focus of the target areas. Arm,leg,back,head, hip, knee, etc. positions all change and the dynamics of force and power and the resultant work are changed. Have fun.

Of course: Every time you stand up and cycle, your glutes muscles help power the movement.
