Come and guess how many calories I burned in a 40 minute spinning class....

[DrNortherner]

?????????

[Anna8888]

Not many and it's easier to cut down on chocolate IMVHO.

[Sidge]

Not enough to make the pain worthwhile I reckon.

[DrNortherner]

Yes but cutting down on chocolate does not give you toned thighs and an arse like rock

[elmoandella]

326

[bellavita]

I would say close to around 650

[theinsider]

Is an arse like rock important after the age of about 18?

What are you going to be doing with it, cutting diamonds?

[DrNortherner]

The prize goes to Bellavita - it was 590.

I was impressed anyway!

[eekamoose]

How do you know? How is it measured?

I'd say less than one might imagine. No more than 250.

250 - its my final answer.

[IllegallyBrunette]

Bloody hell. Do you actually enjoyn it though and is it suitable for someone who doesn't normally esercise ?

[DrNortherner]

I wore a heart monitor and it calcualated calories burnt.

[theinsider]

590 in only 40 mins, that is good. Well done.

[eekamoose]

Yikes!!!

Its a lot like hard work though isn't it? Is it the one where you're on stationery bicycles all the time?

I guess you have to be pretty fit to start off with.

[bellavita]

DrNortherner, I must fess up - I used to spin myself.

[DrNortherner]

Yes I do enjoy it, but it is bloody hard work.

If yuo don't exercise already I would recommend something else first.

spinning classes are wonderful. not as brillinat as ther eal thing, but when you cant go out for a long all day bike ride, they are the next best thing.
fabulous

[DrNortherner]

I think I have the biu stitch - I hated them at first, now I do 3/4 classes a week and feel terrible if I have to miss one...

[DrNortherner]

biu = bug
