OK, I hope I don't jinx myself, but I think I've posted here before that I don't really lose weight when I work out a lot. Well, I'm officially down about 7 pounds in the past few weeks.

In an effort to lean out, I stepped up the Spinning (which is almost pure cardio) to 3-4 times a week, and I think that's the difference. That, and I've really stayed away from drinking more than 2 cokes a week, when before it was like 1 a day. I hope this is the start of more serious weight loss... but in any case, I'm going to keep at it. I don't have a weight loss # goal, but I have a "jeans size" goal.

The owner of my gym was telling us a story this week. She has amazing arms. She said whenever people stop her to ask, "What can I do to get those arms?," she replies "Just show up (at the gym)." She said often people will press her and say, "No, I mean what specific exercises should I do for my arms?," and her response remains, "Just show up." I'm taking her advice.

Good advice, too!

Calamity, I don't remember being all that sore (plus we slept on the ground or mats in sleeping bags) you paddle more to steer (and I guess on some trips the passengers don't do as much of that, but we did) plus you get to move sometimes quickly when the steering person yells "upside". I just remember being very wet and smiling alot..

Yankee, how much resistance is involved in the Spinning? Is it hard on the knees?

I'm finding that I'm liking the elliptical more than the treadmill, which surprised me. Other people there say the elliptical is hard on their hips, but my knees have always been the vulnerable places on my body..

Mocha, you're hilarious -- and welcome to the thread lol.

Seamonkey, the resistance is up to you. Where you really feel it is in one muscle -- your heart as you do the cardio! Oh and your butt too until you get used to the bike seat :-)

There's a knob that turns to allows you to add on resistance (to simulate "hill climbing") and sometimes the instructor will do "jumps" (which is standing up and then sitting down on the bike for a certain # of beats) -- but whether you do either one or not is completely up to you. Some people in my class have injuries and they sit and spin with low or no resistance on the bike wheel the entire time. And they still get a great cardio workout. Other than adding the resistance manually, it's a completely non-impact exercise. Hope that answers your ?

i used to love the elliptical when i was going to the gym much better than the treadmill. sea, i'm finding that my knees are giving me so much trouble lately that it's a chore to walk to and from the parking lot. it may be cuz of this xtra weight they have to carry around...
