Ripped Fuel: Can spinning make you store fat? A must read by Charles Poliquin I disagree that “spinning is useless” for a few simple reasons. 1) Spinning has definitely helped me in my running. I did a very hilly 8 mile run which would have killed me halfway through in past years. This year, though I have ran less, the spinning has certainly increased my cardio ability. Other runners complained of burning quads, but I felt great knowing that it was nothing compared to the quad-burn we get in spin when the resistance is cranked to the max. 2) The spin instructor and the “faithful few” that are always always in spin class are in great shape and look it. The majority of the class is older than I am, but they are super fit and still youthful in appearance. This may not be direct proof of spinning’s ability to keep one in shape, but they certainly look better than the average John Q Public. 3) If I weren’t at 2 hour spin, I would most likely be on the sofa, watching tv and surfing the Internet. Sooo…for me, it works. What do you all think?

Many of us know that Spin class is a waste of time (except for CV fitness) and burns up muscle and provides no real body comp changes. Well here is the proof.

This is an article by Charles Poliquin that he has in Oxygen when questioned about how he transformed fitness model Chrissy May.
