I'm in NoCo and I feel your pain. It's just way too windy to be out on the road, and not getting home until after 5 means dark bike, which I am just not at all comfortable with. I stick to the group cycle class or solo on a spin bike at the rec center. I use mapmyride to log my rides. I haven't done the GPS thing yet, but…

I always have a square of Ghirardelli's Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree after dinner. I think 3 squares are a serving - but one suits me fine. If you like the sweet / salty thing, then you can't beat a piece of chocolate after a spicy chicken stir fry!

So glad to find your post! I just ate a honeycrisp apple and, although delicious, it consumed my entire days sugar allowance! I did a little research and couldn't find a hard and fast rule about how much "natural" sugar is OK, unless you are diabetic...so I'm going to use the 80/20 rule...80% of the time I will try and…

Tonight was solo spin night with weight training - 16.34 miles. Off to an awesome start :)

I'm In! January goal is 200 miles on the spin bike. December I did 170 :)

Great point! I have added electrolytes to my water throughout the day and it has significantly improved my muscle recovery / occasional cramping and spasms.

I spin 3 days a week, and do strength training right after. Total of about 90 minutes. My off days are just that - off. I do some stretching and sometimes take walks around the block. I stand / walk a lot at work (as a librarian), so I am not as worried as I used to be that I wasn't getting enough activity in on my off…

Hi Sharon, I started spinning about 2 months ago to get me through the winter months. I'd taken classes before at my old gym, and LOVED it. Doing it on my own was a little scary, but I think I have the basics - not a pro by any means! I had the same numb feet thing on the spin bike, AND elliptical when I started. Still not…

This is my first "challenge" that wasn't just me challenging myself (which hasn't really worked all that well). I'm IN! SW: 153 (12/31) CW: 153 GW: 148 Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? I love to cycle - and started spinning for the winter months. My goal for…

I love my foam roller - especially after spin class! I don't do anything specific; I can usually sense where I need the most work, so I start there (typically down the side of my hip / thigh), then to quads and hamstrings, and don't forget the glutes!. I spend about 10-12 minutes per side. I haven't figured out how to roll…
