    Good morning! Well, after doing the Barre one day then Afterburn the next, I feel it in places that don't usually get the burn. They are both great! Currently I am using some furniture gliders that are not very big, so I may have to order the sliders. Magnolia, just pause the tape in between...

    Life Cycle vs Spin Bike

    Unfortunately, the two bikes are nothing alike. Spin bikes have a weighted front wheel which allows you to stand, Standing then allows for jumps (up and down from the saddle) climbs both seated and standing, and different body positions. Maybe after seeing the video you can find a used one.

    How to buy a spin bike?

    I only takes a second to make the adjustments. Usually there is a knob to loosen then pull out the peg to lift or lower seat and tighten the knob again. The seats usually go forward and back as well to allow you not to have your knee over your toe.

    Magnolia- having the puppy is like having a toddler around again in the sense that I'm getting too distracted to work out at home. The only way I get it done is to get out the door to a class at the gym! I think I'll take Cathe with me to the gym in my ears! You are doing great! I never...

    He is a jack Russell and rat terrier mixed. He is so smart and so friendly! I did a similar class a few years ago when we had an Alaskan malamute. The dog was actually my sons but ended up with us. The treats the trainer recommended then was to take a hot dog. Cut it into about 20 pieces and...
