    A colleague at work is insisting that Spinning will make me fat as it overworks the legs so it will make me bulky and it makes the thighs hold on to the fat as if there’s no tomorrow.

    Yeah, for sure.

    That's why you see so many chubby legs at the Tour de France.

    This is silly advice. I think spinning is great cardio and in addition to helping me loss weight (I don't eat back all the calories burned) it has been great for my heart, complexion (ah, the post-work out glow), my *kitten* is no longer on the back of thigh and my stress level is way down. Of course, if this all sounds terrible stay away by all means :).

    Of course spinning isn't the only good work out but it is definitely a positive addition to your plan.

    I googled the subject and I saw a lot of articles saying the same.

    I can’t understand how a workout that can make me burn so many calories can “make me fat”. I think weight loss has to do with having a calorie deficit. Has any of you heard anything about Spinning “fattening up” people?
    Please share links to some of the articles that you found. I am always interested in learning.

    ***Will Spinning make me FASTER?

    There, fixed your typo. :wink: And the answer is a resounding yes! You will be faster and fitter--definitely not fatter.

    Eating too much makes you fat. If spinning or cycling made you fat the Tour De France would be a most bizarre spectacle
    True! :laugh:

    Some people just want rail thin legs and not muscles, and they think that is what being "fit" is all about. There's this wacko trainer to the stars whom I won't name that is really helping perpetuate ideas like this. She says you shouldn't spin because it will make your legs bulky, and you won't be able to wear skinny jeans. She also says women shouldn't lift more that more than 3 pound dumbbells because they'll get bulky otherwise. Wth?! I don't do Spinning, but I'm proud of how strong my legs have gotten from all my cycling. And forget the skinny jeans, never had them and don't plan to. I'll settle for wearing skirts so I can show off my legs properly ;)
