Personally, I Love spinning. I’ve been spinning on and off for a few years and recently invested on a spinning bike. Now we all know there is so much controversy out there when it comes to cardiovascular training. Some people swear that spinning, long distance running, sprinting etc are not the answer when it comes to fat loss. Everyone seems to have their own theory and it’s all very confusing.
I came across this article " Figure Athlete - Contest Prep Pitfalls "
I would like to know what your thoughts are.

"If I had to pick one single form of cardiovascular training that's absolutely awful for a Figure competitor, it'd be distance running on pavement, with spinning classes a close second.
Typically, the spinning fanatics who compete in Figure competitions have very little appreciable muscle development, and even when on stage have almost zero muscle definition.
In fact, I knew two different girls who used spinning classes as their main source of energy systems work in preparation for their shows last year. When both girls were on stage, nary a cut was to be found.
They had dieted and peddled away any resemblance of myogenic tone they might have kept had they not crashed their energy deficit into oblivion with chronic spinning classes. Neither girl even looked like she lifted weights.
Forget a six pack, or even a four pack, that cute belly button ring didn't have the slightest resemblance of abs to go along with it.
From their soft and supple gluteus to their kyphotic posture to their silicone implants, they were better suited for a day at the beach, or at best a bikini show."
