kaybs41282 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Looking for something to do in the shit weather and thought of this as a possibility. Anyone been to them before? Are they good for shifting a bit of weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4stars Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) depends, they are full of women...that could lead to potential dates/alcohol consumption...leading onto that comfortable feeling whilst with a gf - which could in turn lead to further weight gain saying that, the excitment and full w**k bank that could result could provoke further wrist exercise which is handy for your riding and calorie burning in short its just another class based exercise, no better or worse than others for loosing weight. much cheaper/more effective and 'trials productive' ways are out there *edit - btw, youre a guy and definately shouldnt be looking at your weight, it means very little whilst assessing your fitness/body. muscle weighing more than fat means that it is possible to stay the same, or even gain weight whilst getting smaller after exercise Edited November 24, 2011 by chris4stars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I'd have thought they were a smashing idea if you were a 40 year old fat lady, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaybs41282 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 It's more belly fat I want to lose rather than all over and thought it was quite an intensive workout that would do this quickly and I wouldn't be in the wet and cold..... This would mess my hair up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Would you not rather go outside on a real bike than sit in a sweaty room with a bunch of fat people being shouted at? I know I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 If you want to lose belly fat then go for plenty of decent runs, before meals so that you're being fuelled by fat and not your food. Boring but effective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Tbf you can burn over 1000 calories in an hour but you'd really have to rinse it, not much other form of training can give you those results! in such a short space of time. and my gyms spin classes are rammed with totty. no fat all fit.

This. They're probably one of the best ways to burn fat, plus there's loads of fit birds normally. But expect to be dominated at the end and sweating to shit. So none of those fit birds will be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yup! Pretty much. All my friends in my halls were like, "aww Dan's gonna absolutely destroy you at spinning Jamie after him doing all his biking". Was the absolute opposite.

kaybs41282 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) Went to this and thoroughly enjoyed it... No fat middle aged women in sight just a room full of roadie types (mostly men). Race Day/Advanced class was definitely a good choice, it kicked my arse but I feel awesome now.... Going again Wednesday and would recommend if to anyone that is shy of bad weather. Edited November 28, 2011 by kaybs41282 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Take up some form of MA? You'll not only gain muscle, lose fat but also learn something practical and enjoy yourself in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydon_peter Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Join a local cycling club then! Since I got involved with a local club I have been out riding loads more than I ever used to. Recently some of the rides have been in shitty horrible conditions where previously I would have stayed at home. I now have the option of 2-3 organised road/mtb rides each week, I have met loads of new like minded people and have got much fitter!

kaybs41282 Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Too much commitment though. I need something that I can do relatively quickly in the evening so I can spend time with the Mrs (she works funny hours). This is a quick intense workout so gets it done and dusted in an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 ... and get my head kicked in lol Just throwing ideas around. I've never been to spinning classes before so it would be difficult to compare but I did take up MA 1,5 years ago and gained a lot overall strength, speed and stamina. If you start in a beginners group you're not going to get your head kicked in either. I'd strongly recommend this to anyone who wants to "fix their body up" if you catch my drift.
