Hello:

What do you consider youth? Please explain. Do you consider someone, 
who is 70 Plus years Old young?

I also disagree that you are NOT able to incorporate a daily routine 
of exercise because you WORK a Full Time Job & Raise a Family because 
many of our comrades in Spin Class do just that. It's just adjusting 
your schedule and sticking to it, which I admit is DIFFICULT.

As for normal responsibilities, everyone chooses whether or NOT to 
raise a family, and just because Carly & I decide NOT to have 
children shouldn't minimize our responsibilities.

As for your KNEES hurting while spinning, I think you should have 
someone adjust your Bike's Settings. your Knees should NOT be 
hurting. It is my impression that you are supposed to FEEL the 
affects of spinning in your Calves, thighs, & your core (abdominal region).

Carly failed to mention that we also walk quite a bit before & after 
our meals in addition to our WORKOUTS.  We decide to take STAIRS 
instead of the ELEVATOR if at all possible. we also do NOT indulge as 
much as you think primarily because we are on a budget, but when we can we do.

Don't HATE..
