They ride bicycles that go nowhere but have no freewheel function on the flywheel. If you ride really fast it's difficult to slow down and if you ride really slow it's difficult to speed up. Of course, an ex army sergeant major sits on a different coloured instructors bike with a secret freewheel function and electric motor shouting 'speed up you fat bastards' and 'slow down for 10 seconds you 'orrible lot' You can tell if someone's been 'spinning' in a room at the gym by the half inch deep sweat puddles on the floor.

Thank you for that explanation.

Why not just buy a bike?

Ah, you share my logic, but cycling involves nasty stuff like wind and rain and bus lanes and the average western human just isn't 'ard enough to cope with these challenges. I think many ladies also like having an instructor present who can motivate them/give them some muscles to ogle.

Fish cakes with cabbage....

I will expell callories this afternoon (the odour must come from somewhere, my guess is callories )

Yep - spot on evaluation.

Bloody hell, that knacked!!!

I've got 2 classes per week for the next couple of months.

That clip on Run Fatboy Run when he finishes the class then goes to walk down the stairs and just falls...very accurate!

There's no way you could work that hard on a normal bike.

A bit of serious advice; try a bit of weight training as well, perhaps once a week, preferably twice a week. It won’t turn you into one of those ugly body builder women but it’ll help to build a little muscle mass. If you increase muscle mass you’ll burn more calories just keeping those muscles filled with fuel. It works well in combination with aerobic interval exercise like spinning. Don’t believe all that tulip about machines that spot reduce fat; that just doesn’t happen. What does happen is that you tone up your muscles and you basically increase the size of your engine. Big engines burn more petrol than small ones even when they’re just idling.

By the way, you’re doing the right thing with spinning as it’s high intensity interval training, which is known among fitness instructors and sportspeople to be the quickest way to burn off fat. They don’t tell you that as they often follow the theory that long slow exercise burns fat. It does, but High Intensity interval training burns fat AFTER exercise when you’re sleeping. Here’s a bit of theory; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-in...erval_training
