Not sure if it's quite like a treadmill - for a start, different muscles are used in the legs. I used to do about 30mins bike per day plus 200 sit-ups and 100 push-ups and I toned up quite a lot over a couple of months. I also ran up and down my stairs, about 50 reps (like climbing 500 feet). That's just basic level stuff. I never got that fit nor that toned but it was certainly worth it versus no exercise and if I ate averagely (I eat a lot) I would have lost plenty of weight for sure.

Depending on your level of fitness, you should work up to the treadmill by doing a variety of cardio, such as the bike, stairmaster or elliptical.
