OMG YUM! Gotta get me some of that! Good ol' america and their amazing indulgence creations.

[teamfatboy]

's organic, so that means I won't get fat, right :shock: :pfft:

But yes, it really is quite tasty =P~ Just as well I'm going back, and can get another jar or seven.

[steak]

dude...I only wanted to help you celebrate :nod: :grin:

and eat some cake

[teamfatboy]

...and there was cake, and it was good.

Don't ask me how I know, but the carrotcake at Joe's Garage is nice, huuuuuuuge serving, and only one fork!

No training today... damn life got in the way again. At least, that's what I call it when I leave the office ten hours after I walked in. There's always tmw - might aim for a double-happy session of weights and cardio, depending on who's doing the 5:30 spin class. Or, I could do the lame-oh cardio-funk...

It's Maria - I'm going, as can't make Ashley's Thursday class. Bit scared - haven't done a Maria class in over a year, mainly because I'm scared of her

[teamfatboy]

Ach, Maria... now she is good. Nutso, but in a nice way

Might have to give it a go... she's got good music too! However, if tmw's leg day, doing Maria's class might not be the wisest thing :pale: :grin:

[Chillicat]

I'm doing legs tomorrow lunchtime - then going for the kill with Maria afterwards! They might be sufficiently recovered by Friday to do another lunchtime class!

[runveerun]

Glad to hear you had a great Birfdee Mister! :nod:

Legs AND spin in the same day! :shock: Mind you I read on gofigure web site that it is a good idea to do legs and then cardio on the same day as your legs are slightly numb from the weight training it doesn't really matter! Hard core! :pfft:

It's an interesting one - I haven't tried it before, so it might be a really bad idea! Normally my preference would be to do legs early in the week and spin later, after a recovery time or vice versa. But I am thinking that doing on the same day with a 3 hour or so recovery time in between might work. We'll see!

[teamfatboy]

I think the most crazy thing I've done was to cycle to the gym, train legs, then do spin, then cycle home (did I mention I live at the top of a big hill?)... and I DEF didn't want the embarrassment of being stuck in the clips when I ran out of horsepower...

[steak]

^ seen a dude at the lights years ago...rolled up the lights on his bike, clipped in and went to lean on the ligh pole...missed :oops: lying on the ground still clipped in :doh:

You sir are a cardio demon :twisted: :clap:

[rose]

I could do the lame-oh cardio-funk...

Um, please no :pfft:

[teamfatboy]

Wot - have u seen me dancing ? :roll:

Nah, not my cup of coffee.... spin for the win!

[teamfatboy]

Tuesday 20 Oct

Spin for the Win.

With Maria, I think she dug out an old "Spin Challenge" formula for tonight, it was a serious, seriously-fun, workout, with a couple of nine-minute climbs.

For the hour, including cool-down - over 850 cals! Really full class too... got to be good. And well done to CC, for grinding out the whole class AFTER that massive lunchtime leg workout - major kudos to her for that :notworthy:

The pair of you are cardio loco

Well done :clap:

[Chillicat]

That was a really good class I have to say. It hurt a bit at first, so I zoned out and thought about all the cool treats I'm going to make for my Halloween dinner, and before you know it I'd passed some kind of pain barrier and was in the fun zone
