I took a master spin class today for continuing education credit toward my certification renewal. It was a great, sweaty class about using spin for strength training. The instructor, Jim Nugent, went off on a tanget about weight-loss while discussing pacing and heartrates. He and I spoke after class and he gave me a challenge to work at a lower intensity for a longer period of time over the next twelve weeks. I have nothing to lose and love to spin so I promised to e-mail him regarding my progress. This isn't a new concept, but one I'd like to try on the bike.
That sounds like a good plan. I know that they often say lower intensity for longer will help you tone and lose weight faster. Whereas, the other way helps you bulk up more. Anyway, good luck! I know you can do it!
