Cycling vs. spinning vs. trainer
Hello, all. I've been riding my bike about 3-4 times a week now for the past 3 months or so, and I decided since the weather was kinda crappy here last night I'd take a spinning class at our gym. (Plus, I want to see what a spinning class is like in case I'd like to do that during in the winter) I thought, hey, this won't…

Supplements?
Are any of you that are currently doing, or will be starting this program taking (going to take) the supplements she recommends?

Calories/nutrition plan
Is there a recommended daily calorie total or anything concerning this plan? I know we're not supposed to be cutting calories as much since we're trying to build muscle, but I still track my calories on here and wonder what everyone else's target is?

Swimming?
So, I'd love to throw swimming in to my exercise regime. Are there any swimmers out there? Any tips/tricks? Anything I need to know before I get started or do I just jump in (no pun intended) and start swimming laps? I just need to mix things up a bit. I'm a cyclist and LOVE getting out and riding, it's just been brutally…

Chocolate milk as recovery drink?
I've read a few posts here and there about using chocolate milk as a post-workout recovery drink. Would you still get the same post-workout benefits from soy or almond milk?
