Help needed --Best excercise to complement Spinning?

by **Nickoh** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 8:47 pm

Hello everyone! The last 8mo or so I have dropped down to 180 from 210+ (I am 5 11). I accomplished that with mostly good nutrition, and a combination of running and taking a spinning class. I can't run anymore (hurt my knee) so I do spinning about twice a week.

I am at the level now where I feel I need to up my training. Spinning has been a llot of fun, but I am looking for something more. I am not big on weigh training, any ideas?

Weight training is the way to go man. I use to be scared to lift weights, but it is really where it is at. It has been one of the best choices I've ever made.

thanks for the advice, i think I am going to go with pull ups, chin ups and push ups and see how that goes. I can do it from home maybe twice a week or so. I am not scared of weights, I find it boring.

Just don't think of it as a workout, go in there and do what you gotta do like it is a chore.
Those are great exercises. I would throw some diamond push ups in there and some jump squats and you got a pretty solid body weight workout.

Diamond push ups are a killer

I am not big at weight training.
That makes no sense. If you are not than why not try it out and become. The best thing to do, Just go for it mate.

What are you training for?

I could complement spinning training with ping-pong, if I were training for a ping-pong tournament.
