Do Spin Classes Help?

[arnold]

I've been stuck at the same bf% for some time now and although I do cheat on occasion, my diet is pretty good. After each workout, I've been doing 20 minutes on the stairmaster. It claims I've burnt 300 calories and 100 floors each session.

A lady instructor today mentioned I should try a spinning class. It's a 800 calorie burn for 45 minutes. Have you guys tried a spinning class anywhere? It does look intense. I'm sure I can get through it but will this lower my bf or will it kill more muscle mass.

I was thinking if I try it, I'd drink some protein before and after.

What's your thoughts?

If your diet is "pretty good" make it better. Go to 3J's thread for free diet advice and post up your info. He'll help you out. Spin class is great for meeting new chicks though... Especially if you're a chubby-chaser.

It's cardio. It will help.

Spin is one of the toughest classes there is, the only draw back I see is the potential for muscle loss, otherwise you cant beat it for calorie burning. Another plus is all the hot women with their butts stuck up in the air!
