spin biking

[theambushparty]

spin cycling seems to be helping tremendously in diminishing the appearance of my "gyno".


give it a shot

Isn't 'spin cycling' a more intense form of stationary cycling?

[theambushparty]

intense indeed.
imagine burning 750 calories in an hour.

[Grandpa Bambu]

When I'm on the treadmill at the gym for an hour, it says that I have burned 700+ cals. My treadmill workout is not all that intense. Do you think that the reported 700+ cals is wrong?

for jogging? probally.
unless youre working your heart
around 75% of its maximum heart rate.

[theambushparty]

i doubt that. with biking, you can establish and maintain your heart rate goal easier than any other form of exercise.

I depends what your rpm rate is. When i'm in the gym, on the "spin bike" I burn about 10 calories per minute. I kick it up 10 minutes into the work out and try to get atleast a 40 cal difference. Last time I worked out, I burned about 600 cals in 50 mins.

[orrible]

its very possible to burn 700 cals on a treadmill in an hour. Factors are weight (heavier people burn more cals), incline and speed. Fat burning is best achieved keeping your heart rate lower (65% of your max), as opposed to all out cardio which works the heart but doesnt burn fat so much.

Anyone doing cardio for over 30 min at that intensity needs a wake up call...... 30 min a day MAX fellas

and I shall tell you why tomorrow,,,, I need to go to bed now

[man-chest-r]

why, rocketrob...

you did wake up didn't you...

[inquestion]

why, rocketrob...

you did wake up didn't you...

yeah why...?

[man-chest-r]

no, why is what you was going to tell us

[inquestion]

no, why is what you was going to tell us

I just wondered about the "not more than 30 min..." thing.

[man-chest-r]

yes, me too rocketrob, that is what I was wondering.

btw, as someone in the business, would you recommend a good book on learning to do workouts, more or less from scratch? Or should I get advice from the staff at the gym?
