    I love spinning, and I love mashing, but I can only do it outside.

    Also, is it normal to go slowly on hills, especially if your resistance is high? I tried keeping up my RPM on hills, and found that I could stay standing for longer if I slowed down quite a bit. Are you supposed to slow down, or is this something that comes easier with practice?

    Yes, in the beginning it is natural to slow down. I recently just started and the first few classes, I could not keep up. I'm still not as fast as the others, but it has gotten easier which is motivating for me to keep going.

    I've been a certified Spinning instructor for almost 4 years now. IMO it's one of the best group fitness classes out there.

    I think it's the fact that when you are clipped onto the pedal, you are working both legs with every pedal stroke, pushing down with one and pulling up with the other. I feel it in my calves, quads, glutes and hamstrings. One good thing about cycle shoes for Spin, they should last for a long time.
