Spinning vs Aerobics ??

“Biz, I've got my motorcycle bike, and a 20 yr old mens black man's peugot street bike that has taken me everywhere and is still great today. I don't ride it much with the helmut laws around WA.

I used to like to ride the stationary bikes in the gym too so I could read at the same time. More importantly, as TX mentioned, you can measure things, like if you are pedaling at the right speed to burn fat for your age & weight with the guages.”

“If you can read while working out at the gym, you're not working.”

“I used to just do the bikes and spinning class - went to the precors - then running. The treadmill works well when you put the incline up. Now I use all of them, whenever. That way I also use different muscles.

I try to do anything physical outdoors while the weather is great. (Just tried bareback this week - talk about sore muscles!)

Tried mountian biking at summer camp this year - Now that was a good workout, but so is cleaning out stalls.”

“ok, folks..here's the epilogue..

I went back for a 2nd class tonight with my "double Gel" padded seat cover.

Ya gotta have the gel..makes a world of differnce..

Also discovered that if you don't work that latic acid out of your muscles, you'll get spasms while you are riding.

I guess the lactic acid is created when you are above your 75% heart rate range and into the "Aerobic" portion of the workout.

Again, spinning (as well as many other activities) is both aerobic and anaerobic..all depends on where your heart rate is.

So, I give the class a "thumb's up" and will keep going til the Shining rocks hike and see what a difference it makes on the hills..”

“LOL @ backpac! I bet he's all talk. What you think ladies?

Tx, so they were right eh? Ok, before I go, I'm going to buy a double or if they have a tripple :) gel seat!

Good luck with your classes!”

“If more women knew that motorcycles are actually giant vibrators, more women would ride them Ü”

“Nimrod, if all women rode motorcycles, us guys won't be getting some anymore. Lol”

“Life's dirty little secrets

he he”

“Yo Nimrod, it looks like it's just you and me on these treads at 4am in the morning. I'll be turning in, in about 10 minutes. See ya.”

“1:00 am for me...still doin my homework..
