My response to proofreader about the pain in the butt from spinnning. I can remember when i first started spin classes i experience the same thing. The way i got rid of the pain was using a hot pad on my butt and got right back out there and spin. I do believe when we continue to spin your butt get use to it and there is no more pain.....ouch!!! hello Amelia,

RPM class rocks. Remember last time I said I was going for my PB @ Around the Bay in a Day. I was very close to it. I did 6 hour 40 mins for the 210km. The PB is 6 hours 20 but I was 15kg lighter back then. I am very happy. Now going to ride up Mt Holtham in March on that 3 peak challenge. I am officially crazy! Forgot about this article.

The saddle is designed so you sit on you sitting bones, so pushing your butt back a little will help releive pressure. See last line this is how you spell RELIEVE.

I would suggest riding every second day and walking on the other days to begin with. Remember 75% of weight loss comes from your diet so get that right and the spin will take care of the rest! Great to have you back :) Amelia Hi Maxine,

I think having a goal to get back to that 28yr old body is great. I put to you that you will surpass that goal and be the fittest your have EVER been. I am training a 56 year old who is at that point. The body is an amazing machine designed to be taken to be challenged. I bet you have a great ride next month and smash your goal. Well done!!!

I used to be quite fit and a mad cycling enthusiast. I even rode from Adelaide to Melbourne via GOR in 8 days. Now in the mid 30s, and had a warning signal of high blood cholesterol level. I had to drag my 94kg body to the gym again last autumn. I used to do gym class and hey why not start with that. I met a few good instructors @ the local gym . I remember one said in his class, "think why you want to come to a rpm class and what do you want to achieve". I then told myself, "my 28 year old body." After that I sign up Around the Bay in a day and vowed to get close to my PB, set when I was 28. Now it's a month to go to the big ride and I now can keep up to the fast riders on Beach road. Doing some 100km+ rides. All thanks to the dedication and motivation of my instructors! Btw, I am a big contributor of the 'orgasmic' type noises... Hehe. hi Amelia and all,

Even if it's 3mins running, 2min walk and build that up to running nonstop. I'd suggest this: day1) 20min run + 5min stretch day2) boxing class (leave early just tell instructor at start of class) day3) 20min run + 5min stretch day4) Weights program: Squats, pushups, tricep dips, core exercises on ball. Oblique exercises (use these http://www.ameliaburton.com.au/2009/03/abdominal-exercises-exercise-your-oblique-muscles-to-get-rid-of-the-love-handles.html) day5) 20min run + 5min stretch day6/7) rest but do incidental activity like playing with kids. Do that for a month without skipping a day and see how quickly that 5kg drops off! Just don't fall into the trap of eating more when you exercise more, it's a common mistake. Amelia Hi Amanda,

They have spin (not a fan of the bike, sorry) and boxing on those days. My goal is to lose another 5 kilos which I'm finding quite simple and fun to achieve. On my short lunch breaks, I go outside for a run. I struggle with the running because I'm only beginning. After about 15 mins, I go back to the gym to do either 10 mins of abs or light weights. I spend 5mins stretching my weary muscles. I will take your advice about the 5th day and do some weights but it'll only be for 25 -30 mins. I worry about my stomach, it still carries the flab I've had since giving birth to kids....12 years ago..!!!!!. Will the running create faster results than ab work?? as mentioned earlier, I only need to lose another 5 kilos. Thank you for your time Amelia Amanda Thanks so much Amelia
