    I haven't experienced that. I have seen my thigh measurement go down though from 31 inches to 29.5 - I do spin 2x a week, plus other exercises like squats (sorta) and the elliptical. I'm going to start riding my outdoor bike this week too.

    Eating too much would increase your weight.

    It might if she's taking steroids too.

    Sorry for my bitchiness.

    My real answer - I've read that article online too that it will "bulk" your thighs. I've been doing 5-8 spin classes every week for the last three years and my thighs are smaller than they were in junior high. So I would say, spin away.

    I know I read that when I started doing it last year too. I have no idea what those articles are about. Maybe those ladies were in a calorie surplus and lifting. No clue.
