7 Scientific Tips for Staying Warm
Staying comfy in the cold, whether you're hiking urban canyons or hip deep in backcountry snow, requires paying attention to the science of heat transfer. Loren Greenway, CEO of the Wilderness Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, said that staying warm requires understanding two key principles: conduction and convection.
Conduction is the transfer of heat between two solid surfaces that are in direct contact with each other, such as when you stand on icy pavement. Convection is the transfer of heat between a mass (such as your body) and a moving fluid or gas (such as an icy wind that whips around every square inch of you).
Understanding both of these chilling mechanisms, as well as the workings of your body's built-in thermoregulatory system, will help keep you warm and safe when the next polar vortex comes to town.
Layer up
You lose heat through conduction whenever your body comes into direct contact with something cold, like when you sit on chilly ground. Wind steals your body heat through convection. But you can insulate yourself against both types of heat loss by wearing layers, Greenway said. [5 Ways to Prepare Your Skin for Winter]
Your base layer — think long underwear and thick, wool socks — keeps you from losing heat through conduction. And wearing an external, wind- and water-proof but breathable layer will protect you from heat loss though convection. "Anything that you can build around you [to enclose yourself] in a microenvironment that will help insulate from the effects of the cold, that is a good thing," Greenway said.
Stop the shivering

Think of shivering as a warning sign that you need to get yourself someplace warmer, fast. When your skin temperature drops, shivering kicks in to keep your core temperature from falling, too. The spasmodic contracting and relaxing of your muscles "consumes calories, and it generates heat" to replace the heat your body is losing through convection or conduction, Greenway said. But that means "once you start shivering, that's your brain telling your body it's time to get to a place where you're warmer."
People with mild hypothermia will shiver, but those with moderate hypothermia may not. The body stops shivering when the muscle contractions are no longer effective in producing heat, he said. That means "as you get colder, shivering actually stops, so then your core body temperature just plummets."
Stoke the furnace
Being well-fed — meaning consuming more calories than you're burning — will help your body handle the cold better, according to Greenway. "It always helps to be well-fed in the backcountry when it's cold," he said. "This is all-important, to keep your blood sugar up enough to provide the energy you need to keep warm in a cold situation."
Staying hydrated is also key, Greenway said. "Your body will tolerate the cold much better if food and water balance are maintained."
Just get used to it

You can acclimatize yourself to cold weather. "People who are outside a lot and spend time in the cold can actually reduce their 'set point,' it's called, before they respond to cold," Greenway said.
The mechanism through which this reset happens is not fully understood, but a type of body fat called brown fat may play a role, recent research suggests. Unlike regular "white" body fat, that stores extra calories, brown fat actually consumes calories, and releases the energy as heat.
Newborns and hibernating mammals have lots of brown fat, which is thought to generate heat in animals that cannot shiver. And studies in animals and humans have shown that cold acclimation increases brown fat's heat-generating capacity. Some research also suggests that exposure to cold actually boosts the amount of brown fat in the body.
Being physically fit also makes it easier for people to cope with cold, Greenway said. But being too thin can be a disadvantage, because body fat helps keep you warm.
Be prepared, all the time
Heed weather warnings, and stock your car with water, calorie-dense foods, warm blankets and extra sets of dry clothes just in case. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 25 percent of winter-related fatalities occur when people are caught unprepared out in a storm.
Know your risks
Drugs to treat high blood pressure, including alpha-blockers, beta-blockers and direct vasodilators, can make you more sensitive to the cold, as can some medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism. Age also affects the human body's cold-coping mechanisms. Children under age 2 have not developed the ability to shiver to raise their body temperatures, and people over age 60 are less able to generate heat though shivering, Greenway said.
Skip the booze

Sure, a brandy-laced hot toddy or a shot of schnapps sounds like just the thing to keep you warm on a bitter day. While a warm beveragewill indeed raise your core temperature and help you withstand a chill, don't spike it. "Alcohol is absolutely the worst thing that somebody could consume" if they are already cold, Greenway said. "It drops core body temperature."

5 Housing Market Predictions for 2015
It's a new year—and the outlook on the housing market is definitely brighter. After all, 2014 was the best year in the U.S. economic recovery since the recession of 2008-2009.
With an accelerating economic recovery fueling job and income growth, prospects are good for homeowners and would-be home buyers.
1. Mortgage Rates Will Head Back Up
The flip side of the improving economy is that (sigh) mortgage rates will inevitably head up again. We've had a great run, but the honeymoon is over, and it's time to settle in for a relationship that balances job growth with higher-but-still-reasonable interest rates.
The Federal Reserve has indicated it will increase the federal funds rate—which has an indirect but significant effect on mortgage rates—next year. The rate has remained near zero since December 2008.
Although the Fed might wait as late as early 2016, realtor.com® Chief Economist Jonathan Smoke suggested the increase will come in mid-2015, and mortgage rates will increase ahead of the Fed's move.
"Our forecast for housing assumes the 30-year fixed rate will reach 5% by the end of 2015," Smoke said. "The one-year adjustable rate will likely rise less if much at all, and accordingly, we are likely to see a shift into more adjustable and hybrid mortgages over fixed."
2. Millennials Will Set Up House
The millennial generation is beginning its ascent—and no, not all of these youngsters born between 1981 and 2000 are living with their parents as they struggle to pay off student loan debt. Sure, they've faced huge challenges in the job market, but employment is improving, and older millennials are planning ahead.
About 65% of first-time home buyers are part of this older millennial group (ages 25-34), Smoke noted, pointing out that these young adults are at an age when many marry and start families.
"Millennials make up around 65% of first-time home buyers," Smoke said. "Of the millennials who are buying a home, 86% indicate that their motivation is a change in family size."
But with tough credit qualification standards and limited credit history, he added, millennials are expected to buy more in affordable areas in the Midwest and the South.
More than two-thirds of household growth in the next five years is expected to come from millennials, according to Smoke. This generation is bigger than the baby boomer generation, so even though its youngest members will be only 15 in 2015, the market is only beginning to feel its impact.
3. Builders Will Break New Ground
Although total housing starts (construction on new housing units) barely broke 1 million in 2014 and was driven by multifamily homes, Smoke noted the pace will pick up in 2015 and shift in focus.
"We are forecasting 16% growth in starts, driven now more by growth in single-family starts, which we are expecting to grow 21%," he said.
But shortages of labor and building product material will limit further growth in single-family construction and will keep overall supply tight.
"The constraints on new construction supply factor into our assumptions about existing home sales growth and overall tight supply of homes for sale," Smoke added.
4. Credit Will Continue to Be a Major Factor
Strict mortgage qualification standards are keeping many consumers, especially younger ones, from buying a home with a bank loan. This situation has remained about the same for the last four years, although it's possible that various new federal housing policy initiatives might help loosen those standards in 2015.
If not, it will increasingly become clear that lack of access to credit is holding back the housing market.
"If you just look at the distribution of credit scores, at least 10% of current homeowners with mortgages would not qualify for a new mortgage today," Smoke said.
Opening up access to credit would be a game changer in the housing market, Smoke noted, allowing 500,000 to 750,000 would-be buyers who are now cooling their heels to achieve the dream of homeownership.
5. We'll Close Out the Foreclosure Crisis
It's been seven years since the housing bubble burst and foreclosures skyrocketed, but in 2015 we'll see the end of that era. Already this year has seen a major improvement in the composition of sales—that is, there are fewer foreclosures and short sales in the mix.
"We are on pace for foreclosure inventories to end 2014 down more than 30%, and next year should see a slightly greater decrease as foreclosures fall to normal levels," Smoke said.
But while these trends will be apparent nationwide, housing is still a local issue.
"The situation differs in every market, even every neighborhood," Smoke added. "Each has its own unique, long-term trends in home values, which reflects local demand and supply conditions."
And the situation is different for each individual home. Setting and negotiating a home price requires complex analysis, which is why most people prefer to work with an experienced REALTOR®.

The Chicago Bulls swore up and down they'd do whatever it takes to keep Omer Asik. They made their 2012 trade deadline decisions envisioning Omer on the roster as they could have traded him away for value but opted to keep him. In the end, they grossly miscalculated the market for Asik which seems foolish in retrospect.
They repeatedly said Omer was a lottery pick talent. They waited years for him to come over. They played him at the end of games. They knew how good he was. He ultimately signed a deal for three years and 24 million dollars. Did they not anticipate an offer of 3/24 for a lottery pick caliber seven footer that they themselves thought was one of the best defenders in the NBA?
It wasn't like someone came in and gave him the max they could. That would have been a 4/40 million dollar offer with an extra two million per year and one more year tacked on. Asik's offer definitely had a poison pill in it, it definitely would have been tough to swallow that final year of his contract, but then that was information they should have processed prior to the trade deadline and moved him then as eight million a year for a quality seven footer isn't a difficult to grasp offer to see coming.
I was torn on whether the Bulls should match Asik, ultimately I thought he was a goner because quite frankly he was worth eight million a year (or more) to the Rockets where he'd start and likely not worth so much to the Bulls where he wouldn't. The whole deal is part of the curse of Carlos Boozer. Would anyone not trade Asik for Boozer straight up right now even if we ignored the salary figures which are heavily weighted in Asik's favor?
Nevertheless, it will be fun watching Joakim and Omer battle it out tonight. Joakim's been on fire on offense while Omer's one of the league's best defensive big men. This is a tough battle for Jo, and I'm interested to see how well he performs particularly on the glass where Omer has a big size advantage.
Stopping James Harden
That's the goal tonight. Stop James Harden. Do that, and you've got a victory. Fail? Who knows. James Harden's averaging 24 points a game while only shooting 42.8% from the field and 28.6% from the three point line. However, he's killing teams with the drive and getting to the free throw line nearly nine times a game.
Despite low shooting percentages, his scoring efficiency is quite high.
The Bulls will need to find a way to slow him down which might be difficult if Rip Hamilton is expected to defend Harden at all. Hamilton's too slow and too weak to stand a chance. The Rockets don't have anyone particularly dangerous playing SF, so the Bulls should consider putting Deng on Harden right away though Harden may have too much athleticism for Deng to handle on the perimeter, my hope is Deng's length will make up for it.
If it's not Deng, then I expect to see some extra minutes for Jimmy Butler and playing a perimeter with Deng and Butler on it to have multiple athletic wing defenders to throw at Harden may be a look the Bulls want to show frequently tonight.
Linsanity has turned into Linsufficient
In a turn of events that surprises pretty much no one, Jeremy Lin has come down to Earth considerably after leading the New York Knicks to a quality record against horrible opponents for a small stretch before getting hurt.
He's putting up Kirk Hinrichesque numbers this year.
Okay, it's not THAT bad for Lin, but it's not good. He hasn't been able to find his shooting touch and has his assist numbers inflated by playing along side an incredibly gifted scoring guard. This is one defensive matchup that Hinrich can probably handle quite well. Lin isn't athletic enough to burn him, and Hinrich is strong enough fundamentally to match up well.
Where's the defense?
Surprisingly, the Bulls offense has played fairly well recently. What they haven't been able to do is stop anyone. The Rockets are molded into the type of team the Bulls are traditionally designed to play well against. Their offense is largely focused through a primary scorer whom they can swarm with help defense.
The Bulls struggle much more against balanced offenses than ones with one elite threat, and Harden, while great, isn't all that elite as far as elite threats go.
I look for the Bulls defense to rebound in this game and hold the Rockets to around 40% from the field to keep Chicago in the game.
Can they stay above .500?
This is their first chance to drop below .500 this season since the opening tip off. This is one of those games where the Bulls should win. The Rockets simply aren't that good, and Chicago should be plenty motivated after dropping a couple games in a row.
If they lose it makes a much bigger statement about the state of the team than if they win. I think they'll pull through.

I am an all around nice person! I have three kiddos. I started (with a whole crew of fantastic people) an amazing school in Austin about 12 years ago. It is now one of the best schools in Austin so I am super proud. I now run a community arts center in South Austin and manage a few properties. Life is pretty good in my world....full of art, fun, kids, great businesses, and tons of inspiring Austin experiences.
Moya has completed online and offline ID verification.
OMG, what a great place. All of our delegation where absolutely happy with this amazing place. Conversation, Preparation and Support were as professional as friendly. Thank you so much that we were able to rent your house for SXSW.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Lap of Luxury house in Austin. The house was well appointed, spacious, very clean and relaxing. There are plenty of beds, bathrooms, showers and amenities for a large group. The linens were very nice, every bed was cozy. We had 8 people and everyone was comfy. Moya was very sweet and met the first guest and went over everything in detail. We didn't use the pool because it was cool out, but it looked fun. There was plenty of room for parking, including the garage. There is a nice market right near the house to get things for the fridge. Overall, it was a great place to reconnect with old friends and relax and enjoy Austin. We found Zilker park to be close enough to everything we wanted to do and Uber had no problem finding us when we needed to go out. Thanks Moya for a great weekend place to stay!
The reservation was canceled 93 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Moya answered all of our questions promptly and was helpful in providing information about all of the homes' features to make sure we knew how everything worked. (You should expect to meet her in person when you arrive, not to have keys left behind for you to let yourself in.) I was there as part of a group of 8 friends for a quiet weekend of cooking and catching up. The neighborhood is definitely quiet. Even though we weren't partying or up to anything crazy, we felt pretty self conscious about making any noise outdoors, even just a group conversation. So just keep that in mind. The house is very modern and clean. Tons of nice beds and plenty of room to spread out which was nice. The kitchen was equipped with all the basics in terms of plates, dishes, utensils, bowls, etc., which was good because we did a lot of cooking. But don't expect to find a stocked pantry with spices and such that you can draw from (not a complaint at all, just an FYI.) All in all it suited us well. The hot tub was nice (I would say it comfortably fits 4 but you can squeeze a couple more in if you don't mind being cozy). If you are excited about the heated pool, be sure to ask whether that's included in the rate you are paying or if heating the pool will cost extra. In our case, it was extra, which I didn't realize when I made the reservation. Perhaps that was in the fine print, though...
Lovely and unique home in a great location. Comfortable room and extremely friendly host. We would definitely recommend staying here. Got all the insider information on places to eat and visit. Overall great experience. Thank you Moya. :)
Moya's room was great and her charming historic home is centrally located and perfect for exploring all the good stuff that Austin has to offer. Moya was a great host and I'd recommend the place to anyone.
We stayed here with 12 friends for NYE and we are so glad we chose this over a hotel. The house is huge! Lots of rooms, beds and space. The bunk beds in the basement are not very comfortable, but it was nice to have the extra space downstairs. As someone mentioned, all the showers are on the 3rd floor and connected to the bedrooms. It wasn't a big deal for our group but something to keep in mind. The location is good, just a short cab to downtown and walkable to some stuff. Moya was always available via text with any questions we had which was much appreciated. I'd definitely stay here again (hopefully when its warm enough to use the pool next time)!
A wonderful house to stay in. Moya was a great host. Everything was clean and comfortable.
The house was very nice and very modern. The layout of the house worked perfectly for large or small groups. The owner met us at the house to walk us through how things work and where things are. The only thing I would warn people about is the extra charges. Yes it does have pool, but it cost $250 to heat it if you would like to use it. The forms ask for a $500 cash deposit just incase the neighbors complain for any reason. Also, we wished there was at least 1 TV upstairs. Location is great. Easy to walk 10 minutes to a lot of different restaurants.
Moya was a great host. She greeted us when we arrived and went over the important items on staying in the house and didn't stress the smaller items. Clearly, it's a house that is for a lot people so the activity level and use of the space is going to be high. She highlighted the rules on noise and the pool which affect the neighbors and not on little things so I appreciate that. The house was very modern and huge which worked out great for a group of 11 adults and 3 toddlers. Even though it was so modern and had a lot of sharp edges, it was fine for the kids. It was a very beautiful house and living space inside and outside and located in a great part of town. We were able to walk to Zilker park and to drive to groceries and good restaurants that were less than 10 mins away. I would recommend staying here for future visitors.
Moya and her friends were fantastic guests. Our house is was left in great shape. We would be happy to have them stay again.
Moya was a great guest. She left the place spotless and was a very good communicator.
Beautiful family, wish we had more time to hang out with her kids. Very clean, relaxed and polite.
Moya and I used to perform together in a local West African drum and dance company, and Moya went on to found a highly successful private school here in Austin. Moya is super friendly, bubbly, intelligent, and a local powerhouse. She and her husband have a lovely home which I'm sure any guest would enjoy!
I know Moya and her husband Khotso from the wonderful Austin, Texas community. She's deeply involved with an innovative, alternative approach to education at her school in Austin. I'm sure she would be a wonderful Airbnb guest or host. If you don't know Moya, don't miss out on an opportunity to get to know her!
All I can say about Moya is that she is a bundle of joy. She would definitely be a welcome guest in my house. She is delightful, energetic, funny and just a an all-around good human being. I have known her professionally and personally for many years.

EDITOR'S COLUMN | Home sweet home in Freeland
It's Wednesday, the dust has settled and the South Whidbey Record has successfully moved — again.
To anyone counting, this was our third relocation in nearly as many years. No, we're not playing musical chairs for fun, and yes, we are planning to set down permanent roots in our new Freeland home.
To shed some light on our light feet, the past few years have been something of an experiment in viable newspaper economics. In 2010, our industry was seeing financial upheaval once unimaginable. Longtime daily publications, massive organizations once considered unsinkable, were turning belly up left and right.
Small community newspapers have better weathered the revenue storms ravaging our daily counterparts, for a variety of reasons that I won't bore you with here, but we were not immune and Sound Publishing made the tough call to leave South Whidbey and set up shop on Central Whidbey.
The idea was simple: shack up with our sister paper, the Whidbey News-Times, split the bills and produce newspapers that were more financially stable.
Well, in The Record's case, the financial savings simply didn't add up. The price of being separated from our community was just too high.
So we packed up our computers and hightailed it back to where it all began, Langley, the beautiful and charming Village by the Sea. We spent a lovely year in a space tucked into the back of Langley Village, thanks largely to the generosity of city business leader Janet Ploof.
Knowing we had just pennies to come home, she put us up for a pittance in the hopes that we could stay — if only it had been in the stars.
Thank you, Janet, The Record owes you much.
But again, financial matters dictated a change and now we're in Freeland and we have no complaints. Moving again so quickly wasn't what we'd planned but the office, located in suite 204 above the Freeland Chamber of Commerce at 5575 Harbor Ave., is awesome and will suit our needs perfectly.
It's been nice too that Freeland, an ever-growing and busy community, has welcomed us with open arms. Recording its history in greater detail will be our honor. That said, coverage of Langley and Clinton won't change. Langley remains South Whidbey's only incorporated city and Clinton, well Clinton is trying hard and we'll be there to tell the story, whatever it is.
Thank you South Whidbey for your patience and please stop by for a visit at our new digs. As always, our door, wherever it happens to be that year, is open.

Robert Stanley "Bob" Barton (February 13, 1925 – January 28, 2009) was recognized as the chief architect of the Burroughs B5000 and other computers such as the B1700, and a co-inventor of dataflow. Barton's thinking has been broadly influential. As one example, Barton influenced the systems and higher-level computer language thinking of Alan Kay who went on to further develop object-oriented programming, co-design Smalltalk, and develop concepts key to modern GUI systems built into the Macintosh and later Microsoft Windows.
Barton designed machines at a more abstract level, not tied to the technology constraints of the time. He employed high-level languages and a stack machine in his design of the Burroughs Corporation B5000 computer. Barton's B5000 design survives in the modern Unisys Burroughs MCP. His work with stack architectures was the first implementation in a mainframe computer. Hewlett-Packard would later use the stack architecture in its HP 3000 computers, and in HP calculators with reverse polish notation.
Barton died on January 28, 2009, in Portland, Oregon, at the age of 83.[1][2]
Barton was born in New Britain, Connecticut in 1925 and received his BA in 1948, and his MS in 1949 in Mathematics, from the State University of Iowa. His early experience with computers was when he worked in the IBM Applied Science Department in 1951.
In 1954, he joined the Shell Oil Company Technical Services, working on programming applications.
While at Shell, in preparing for a conference in Michigan in 1958, Barton was reading Irving Copi's 1954 textbook on "Symbolic Logic" and saw a reference in it to Polish notation.[3] This made him curious about it and its application to arithmetic expressions and their processing on a computer. He also then read the works of Jan Łukasiewicz who had invented "Polish Notation" back in the early 20th century for use in logic.[3]
Barton joined Burroughs Corporation (ElectroData Division) in Pasadena, California in the late 1950s after he had worked for some time at Shell Development, a research arm of the Shell Oil Company in Texas where he used and programmed an early Burroughs/Datatron 205 computer.[3]
He managed a system programming group in 1959 which developed an ALGOL-like compiler for Burroughs. The early programming language was known as BALGOL and was implemented for the Burroughs 220 machine. The language and compiler were an early implementation of the International Algebraic Language (IAL) also known as ALGOL 58.[4]
In 1960, he became a consultant for Beckman Instruments working on data collection from satellite systems, for Lockheed Corporation working on satellite systems and organizing of data processing services, and for Burroughs continuing to work on the design concepts of the B5000.
After an assignment in Australia in 1963 for Control Data Corporation, he returned in 1965 to join the Computer Science staff of the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Utah. From 1968 to 1973 he taught as a professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Utah with David C. Evans, Ivan Sutherland, and Thomas Stockham. His Ph.D. students at the University of Utah were Duane Call, co-founder of Computer System Architects; Alan Ashton, co-founder of WordPerfect; and Al Davis, University of Utah professor of computer science. Other Utah students that he influenced included: Alan Kay, James H. Clark co-founder of Silicon Graphics, John Warnock, co-founder of Adobe Systems, Ed Catmull of Pixar, Henri Gouraud (Gouraud Shading) and Bui Tuong Phong (Phong shading).
After 1973, he devoted his full-time to Burroughs Systems Research in La Jolla, San Diego, California, working on new computer architectures and systems programming.

it depends
as every repy has stated question is ..is it important to know exactly how many calories one has burned?? or to average and call it a day? A failure is only a failure if you don't get up and try again...author unknown
It depends on you and your effort. I only burn 400 max, but I'm a 130 pound female :)

Look at the variables for burning calories.
Your body weight, your output, and duration. www.exercise4weightloss.com/calories -b urned-during-exercise.html 700 calories for a 150 lady, that would be a very hard effort and done often in a hard class. 700 calories for a 220 lean man, moderately tough. 1000 calories per hour for a 220 lean man, hard effort. 1200 may be possible but not many fit enough to hold that duration. You HR would need to be at your anaerobic threshold for most of the time and lactic would build.

If it is a demanding class and you put in a strong effort then the answer is absolutely.
I have never seen anything close to 1200 though. That would effectively mean accelerating through high tension for 1 hour. |

I just got a hrm watch and in one class I burned like 720 calories!! I told my instructor and she said she has had people burn as many as 1200 calories in a 60 minute session!! I'm working my way up to that point!!

My Polar Fitness Monitor says I burn between 600 and 650 calories in a 50 minute RPM class. The instructor says we should see about 600 calories so I'm right on.
I got a heart rate monitor and took it to class with me on Saturday. In the 45 min class plus the cool down I was at 605 calories burned. My instructor is very intense, she use to teach on an Army base in CA to drill instructors.

I just got a heart rate monitor that tracks calories too and I am excited to try it out at spin tomorrow night. I will be doing RPM. We have the tracers on the bikes at the gym and I am interested in seeing how accurate they are. But if you can get to class 5-10 min early and get a good warm-up in it will add to your total calories and miles while you are just waiting for class to begin
I teach RPM by Les Mills spin method and they taught us a 45 minute class can burn between 530-700 calories depending on gender, weight, the amount of your intensity. So yes, I believe it is true. As a woman, I probably only burn about 550 compared to a larger man who may burn 700.

The highest work quotient is obviously pushing a hard pace with high tensions. I have observed 20-25 calories per minute during such intervals, so theoretically 1000 calories per class can be done. The obstacle is that keeping this up for the full class is something most people cannot do. Scaling it down, 700 is possible in a very demanding class
It depends on how hard you're working, how much you weigh (and how much lean mass you have). I work near an 80% heart rate for most of my Spinning classes, and I only burn around 400-600 calories in an hour, sometimes less. There are a lot of factors at play. But a good HRM is one of the best ways to estimate how much you really burn in Spinning or in any activity for that matter.
The amount of calories is related to the watts you put out or work. You can look up all the formulas. From experience using the Computrainer and other such calibrated equipment you can dial that in pretty close if you use a HR monitor and spend some time.
If I'm working very hard doing an effort averaging about 350 watts per hour it will burn more calories and my HR will end up over 90%+ by the end of that hour. If I do an effort of 220 watts my HR will be below 80% on most days. Intensity and duration as well as power output will determine this. I'm 201 lbs and my lean body mass is about 173 lbs, a lady I know is 150 with a lean body mass of 91 lbs. I can double the wattage she puts out in an hour so probably double the calories. In a hard spinning session of 45 to 50 min, I do about 1000. On climbs or intervals I will hit a HR of 90%+ and the resistance cranked. We are all different and it took me about 1 year to tune the HR monitor in. Check Sporty Pal app if you have a phone and walk, run, or ride outside.
I've never seen numbers like that spinning-- and I spin 4 days a week. There is a consensus in our group that we are burning about 100 calories every ten minutes. Our class is 45 minutes long. I also know unless I have the tension cranked- I don't burn calories. There is no such thing as a flat row for me unless its cranked- my hard rate doesn't go up!
Oh wow, okay, and thanks for the detailed accounts of how much you burn!
I've always wondered how the tracker can put in one amount even though the intensity can vary so widely based on the instructor and so many other variables! Thanks! Be beautiful, inside and out.

Every person is different and every day is different even for one person. I have burnt anywhere for 660 to 1000+ in a 45 minute class my norm is usually 660 but if I am having a very good or bad day it has been 1000.

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success.
I have a HR monitor dialed in for a pretty accurate calorie count. It took me a while checking it with other methods. Charts are not all that accurate unless you a lot of variables, but they can get you close.
Class today was 49 minutes and I burned a little over 1000, I pushed pretty hard. If I back of a little it's still 750 to 800 calories. Outdoors going super hard on a bicycle calories can hit 1300 to 1500+. Hard walking up hills for 60 mins are 3.5 mph about 400-500. Easy cycling about 400 per hour. I never check water running but that would be really high if the intensity was high. I'm at 202.8 lbs with around 170 lbs of lean body mass. My HR max is around low to mid 180's. In a really hard spinning class I'll hit 166-172 on the hard efforts. On a super hard cycling effort I'll be 177 to 183 for almost the entire hour. Walking up and down some hills as long as .75 miles at a 3.5 mph pace my HR might get to 135, most times its below 100. I'm 56 and I have friends that at the same age their HR will max out at 155. These numbers are specific to you, everybody is different.

90 minute class I burn between 750 and 850 calories depending on the intensity but I am a very fit person aerobically so it takes me more to get the calorie burn. A 60 minute class I would be between 500 and 600 calories

Yes. My normal burn is at least 1,000.
Im not sure but thanks for asking b/c I would like to know too!
Does spinning actually burn 700 calories an hour?
I am curious if anyone with a heart rate monitor has compared their actual to what the fitness tracker predicts! Be beautiful, inside and out.

Possibly buying horse. critique. Hi, Could you please give me a quick conformation critique on this horse: https://mail-attachment.googleuserco...oO66YaS8K6qt7M https://mail-attachment.googleuserco...5oNIHWjIwUyL0c https://mail-attachment.googleuserco...VPMKu8ROdFrdsA His add: Fabulous Young Horse For Sale in Kildare : €2,500 - DoneDeal.ie Thanks... Could you reply quickly. Someone else is going to see him tomorrow, and I want him by then if his confirmation is ok! |
Bump....I need critique before the morning. Sorry to be a nuisance, but as someone is seeing the horse in the morning.. I want sale agreed before then :-/ |
Well, I can't see any of the pictures you posted because they're linked to your e-mal account. I like him from the ad. I'm in the USA so I'm not sure about pricing, though. But to me in the pictures he seems to be actually engaging his hind. |
Oh woops... Sorry about that. Anyway, price is no issue. He's right on budget! |
Well, you wouldn't want to be paying more than he's worth, you know? |
Yeh, but I tried him today... DREAM! He's a total bargain. Over here something like him is worth far more than he is up for ;) Here's his add on another sight... Couple of different pictures. 7th add down. Horse Quest UK - Allrounders: Under £3000 |
As long as you like him and get a PPE, I'd say buy him! He's very handsome. I've always wanted an ISH.... |
No conformation photo but he looks cute. I notice one ad prices him at 2500 and the other 2200. Looks to be in a bit of a false frame in the ridden photo, but if you have ridden him and like him then great! |
2500=2200£ ;-) thats why it says that tryst. Ill be buying him if he passes the vet! |
He really looks very nice, and I hope he vets for you. ...but.... Why is he being ridden in a double bridle? A 4 y o advertised to have been "given time to mature and brought along slowly" and "started in lateral work, shoulder-in, FLYING CHANGES..."???? in a double?? A 4 year old?? |

AMHERST, Mass.—Preeminent preacher the Rev. Otis Moss III, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, will lead the annual multifaith service in celebration of the life of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23, in Johnson Chapel at Amherst College.
January 18, 2010On a day when many Americans celebrated the life and work of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., in song, service and other activities, two Amherst College students participated in a very different yet fitting memorial: They helped lead a conversation about youth violence in nearby Springfield.

Packaging Design - The brief for the Starpack Awards was to design a new assortment of chocolates and a gift pack for busy people who 'never have time to sit down' but still want to enjoy their favourite chocolates.
The new assortment of chocolate bar desserts come as either a gift compacted together with a ribbon and label, or sold separately. The concept was based around the fact that busy people do not get much chance to enjoy a delicious dessert with their lunch.
