 Welcome back to my channel. Today's video is going to be all about cycle bar I have been spinning it for about six months now So I kind of just wanted to do a touch base a recap video review just like talk about everything as well as show you guys progress photos because I Like watching some of these types of videos and because I know I haven't been doing a lot of fitness content And I loved doing fitness content. It was so much fun but because I've been just going to cycle bar a lot more and not really doing at home workouts I it's like the same thing over and over again. So I don't want to like bring my camera every day So that's why I'm just gonna make this video and hopefully you guys find it helpful or entertaining before we get into everything Make sure you're subscribed and also turn on your post notifications also to follow me on Instagram because it would mean the absolute world to me and You just should so starting off. I started cycle bar and spinning in November it was like the weekend after or like a couple weeks after Thanksgiving and I really wanted to get into it because I just accepted a full-time job and I wanted to Have something I could go to like a physical location Workout and then go to work and I just thought it would be a really good to Just try spin classes and everything and at the time what actually really got my butt to like do it was The amazing deal that was going on sort of they were doing like a black Friday deal where it's 140 Well, it's 139 but like let's just round up because like tax and whatever So it's 140 a month and I think that's kind of reasonable It's still a little pricey not gonna lie But if you do the math and you go four or five times a week Which I make sure to do at least I really try to do that I you get the benefit out of it because it makes the classes like a little cheaper So it is kind of a lot, but just if you go and you use it then it'll be worth it I love the music the classes each instructor is different obviously have my favorites and That's just like any type of class you go to you're gonna have your favorites You're gonna have some that you work harder for than others if you guys haven't seen it mother cycle bar videos I'll link them down below so you guys can check them out, but ranking in class is a little hard But just make sure you put in your information in the cycle bar app your height and weight and everything and hopefully it'll like calculate it better, but the main way to Get higher on the board is a heavier gear meaning like it's harder to push Your legs down on the pedals as well as RPM. So I think in my last video. I made about cycle bar about like ranking number one Yes, it's important to have the gear like kind of higher It also takes into account how fast your your legs are moving so if you're at gear 11, but your RPM is like 30 or 20 then clearly it's not gonna help you but if your gear is at 11 and You're going at an RPM of like six to your 70 which I guess I don't even know if that's possible, but then you would like rank higher if you know what I mean So those two factors are what will help you in the long run So that's kind of like touching on ranking and everything Which that's kind of how like I've learned how to rank higher in the class Especially when you do like the races and stuff next I want to talk about how many rides I currently have participated in I guess It's 87 so on Monday. It'll be my 88th ride, which I'm super excited about I can't wait to get to 100 because I think that'll be like super exciting and hopefully At one of the locations I can like sign the hundred ride board I really like how they encourage people to like come by celebrating milestones So I just find that to be really fun and a good way to like engage with you know, the customers and I Don't know or I guess we are customers or riders I should say so that's also something that I really appreciate. I like riding at both Locations so I ride in like a downtown Orlando location and then I also ride in like a winter garden location and They are really good and they're really different. I mean They're different because of the different bikes, but like they're all like friendly everywhere but if I had to choose I like the black bikes better because they're more comfortable and They're smart bikes. So it just kind of like goes with your power of your leg and everything and They're just a lot smaller. They're more compact the white bikes My friend and I were discussing this just seem large and they're just so big that You know, they're just not as comfortable to ride on So I'm hoping that that other location Gets the black bikes because the black bikes are my favorite and if I have to choose it would be the black bikes to Ride on that's why on Saturdays sometimes I like to go to the location with black bikes because I just prefer that better So moving on to like my diet with working out So I kind of eat intuitively and I know that sounds kind of crazy But like I just try to be balanced. So I listen to my body and whatever. I'm just feeling like I eat I know that's kind of weird but As you guys know, I eat almost the same thing every day for lunch at least during the week So with cycle bar and everything like I just have my regular lunch, which is egg whites celery I have like saltine crackers or like nut things and then some a little short bread cookies Because I just find that to be all like really balanced and like with water just to hydrate and everything I do tend to get Starbucks But I always get like this small cup and I get like the vanilla sweet cream cold brew with like light sweet cream And that's pretty much it and then for dinner either. It's like a salad and turkey or it's like for rivers sometimes or Hooters or Valor mix pizza. I don't know what dinners obviously like a more heavier Meal for me. So I know like during the day I really like light and everything and I I know it sounds bad, but I don't really eat breakfast I hate breakfast like all breakfast foods. I really don't like I feel so Way down with foods in the morning like it could be anything like I cannot eat before 12 And feel like I can conquer the rest of the day. So I know that sounds weird But because I have more of a heavy dinner, I use that energy that I have from the dinner just To work out. I don't know if that makes any sense, but that's just what works best for me and dinners my favorite meal of the day, so I Treat myself a dinner and I just eat what I want to eat when I get faster results If I did more of a keto type style Yes, but because I'm working out four days a week at least at minimum I feel like it's okay because that's kind of what I did with like at dance and stuff You know I dance I was dancing for like three hours instead of just 45 minutes So that's also something that I want to like talk about because I know food is like It's a very very important thing and if I were to ever like stop working out or stop going to cycle bar I would definitely be a lot more conscious like I would probably try my hardest to follow At least during the week a keto diet because calorie intake and all of that So now I kind of want to get into the photos because I've taken like not multiple But like I'm just gonna flash them up on the screen. So here you're sitting like Before any fitness until now. So I don't know if you guys can tell them Oh, I can definitely tell the difference, but I don't know I've come a long way and like as you guys can see like with the picture so this is the front view and then this is the side view and Honestly, I just feel like a lot more confident and like trying on clothes and swimsuits like you just feel hot and you're just like Yes, so I definitely think it's worth it to just like work hard and just keep consistent Next you're seeing the front view of like before cycle bar and then now so this is six months of cycle bar versus Me doing at home workouts as you guys can see here's the side view of that Cycle bar really pushes like the calorie loss like it since it's more high intensity like Cardio, I feel like you burn a lot faster a lot quickly more quickly So I definitely think cycle bar works to lose weight if that is your goal Obviously you have to be consistent with it and everything but Yeah, and then here's just like some other fun photos. I love my little Bikini pics and like all of that. So I just want to show you guys the photos because You know seeing progress always helps and is encouraging. Well, the last time I weighed myself I did not I should have weighed myself this morning, but I'm almost at my goal weight So so the last time I weighed myself. I try to not weigh myself that much because I feel like it's really Unhealthy just to focus on numbers. I think it should be all about like how you're feeling and listening to your body But just as a progress like check-in. I like to weigh myself Sometimes so this is one time. I was just like I feel really good. I it was in the morning So, you know, you're just like, I don't know lighter your lightest in the morning Anyway, just in general. So I weighed myself on 416 and so it's about like a month ago and I weigh 126.8 and Most of that I think is muscle. So that's also really good but Overall, I just feel like really good within my body and my goal weight is 125 So I'm not too far off and if I really focused on eating healthy and everything and incorporating like more Keto meals in my diet then I probably would hit that goal faster But I'm not in any competition or anything. It's just I want to better myself and just feel more confident and Love to shop and look cute in clothes. So that's my main goal Like I mean and obviously like be healthier overall. I love cycle bar. I hope I can continue everything with what I'm doing and If you are looking to join a spin studio, I highly recommend it. It's so fun And you do make a lot of friends like I've made a lot of friends doing it I think it really just depends on your location personality like all that stuff, but Yeah, I think that is gonna be about it for this video. I hope you guys enjoyed it Let me know down below if you've ever tried spin or what type of workouts you like doing and I think that's about it So give this video a thumbs up.
