    Any exercise will be ineffective at weight loss IF you compensate by replacing the burned calories with more consumed calories. What I mean by this is if you are calorie counting, its not an issue as long as you always ensure a net deficit. If you aren't counting, then chances are you will naturally compensate and cancel out the exercise. That is why diet is far more important than exercise in weight loss efforts. If the diet isn't right, you can run marathons and will continue gaining weight.

    Usually the spin class I take is a split class, 40-45 minutes of spin and 15-20 minutes of strength training with kettlebell or small weights, I do this 3-4 times a week and started about a week and a half maybe 2 weeks ago. Although I havent noticed a scale victory I FEEL GREAT!!! and ultimately that is what is important, isnt It? Plus I love hearing "You have to stop losing weight" because the numbers arent moving but i am looking thinner I suppose. So who's spinnning with me Wednesday? :)

    I love spin and when I was at 24 hour fitness taking classes I dropped weight like crazy.. I would burn 1100+ cals per hour.


    I take spin class at 24 hour fitness, and I don' think I will ever run a treadmill ever again.. I never had a cardio workout like this before and I am already down 5 lbs in 2 weeks. I would suggest keeping to it. I have a friend who lost 22 lbs in 9 months just doing spin classes and now she is starting to get into body building along with clean eating. She looks amazing. I would recommend spin to everyone I know if they are looking for a great cardio workout and to drop pounds!
