SPINNING CLASSES
- Spinning classes are not a good way to lose weight
- While any exercise is good for you in general, spinning not optimal for weight loss
- SoulCycle and similar companies charge a lot of money for a little
- Easily same stuff you can do at home
- They push you so hard you feel like you want to die, and it’s largely unnecessary
- Popular/trendy but it is silly and too expensive
- It’s a whole class of doing intervals
- Not in Zone 2 which is the fat burning zone
- Instructors often set people up on the bike incorrectly, too
- Most people end up having sugar or something carby after because they were worked to a breaking point for no reason
- Zone 4 to death
- Just burning blood sugar
- This is the reason people don’t feel like Zone 2 is enough when really it is the best zone for fat burning
- Zone 4 to death
PRISON TATS
- Also commonly known as “stick-and-poke” tattoos
- Anna let her daughter, Lucy, give her one
- It says LUCY !
- Her husband and a family friend also got some
- See pic below
