Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hey Max, Those spin classes are great... Just beware that there is a possibility of catabolism (burning muscle instead of fat) from high intensity exercise that lasts longer than 20-25 minutes. If you can you might want to make sure that you hit your high points early in the spin session and then " coast " a little bit with moderate intensity after the halfway point. Of course when the instructor says " climb " it is pretty motivational to really go after it, yeah? Good luck on your journey.

They're longer but they keep me motivated and I push myself harder in these classes. > 4) I'm way more focused on intensity than last time (I'm really working for the high points this time around). > Hopefully, these changes will lead to better results. Today is Day One, so wish me luck! And thanks for your inspiration...I've been lurking on this list for along time, and staying connected to the conversation is a big help pschologically. > I'll let you know how it goes, and may drop a line with a question or two in the months ahead! > > Max > Boston, MA > > _____________________________________________________________ > Click to become a master chef, own a restaurant and make millions. > http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2121/fc/Ioyw6i3m4pClK9WxyHRv5bB3zo mQ2V65tJfYv8idWLNmOIddn2t7to/ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
