Attention female riders!

You may have noticed that it is once again wintertime. Oh yes, the dreaded time of the year. There are holidays that bring lots of joy and cheer...but looming around the corner is the fear of gaining weight with all the food those holidays bring. Well, fear no more! There are a few easy solutions to keeping your weight right where you want it this month.
1) I know it's very difficult this time of year, but make the time to get on your bike. It will be well worth the payoff both now and next spring. Trainers are always available for either purchase or to take part in our spin classes Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturdays.
2) Say no. That's right. Don't eat once you are full. Also, try to eat proteins and veggies before all of the carbs. Saying no can be as simple as eating one piece of fudge instead of two or three...don't get discouraged. The more you say no, the easier it gets.
3) That's it. Ride, get some good workouts, and monitor how much of what you are eating.
Keep your weight goals simple right now. Don't attempt for the "I'm going to lose 10-15 pounds before New Years" approach. Keep it simple and attempt to maintain or lose a pound.
Hope to see you at spin!
