First spin class.... OMG!!!

I go to spinning once a week and love it! The instructor/music makes a huge difference IMHO. It does take several months to really get your body used to it, but in terms of a group cardio class I think it's great! I'm not super coordinated and so I'm a bit turned off by cardio dance/zumba type classes.

Stick with it! You will love it. Make sure to talk with the instructor so that your bike is properly set up for your height. And you may want to take it easy your first few times with the resistance. But as you get stronger your legs will get stronger and you will have no problems and just a lot of fun!

The instructor kept sayin "turn it up!", and I kept thinking "I cant, I need to turn it down!!" I know I will see results, it was just a bit of a shock to the system :happy:

The instructor is probably trying to motivate, not intimidate. A good instructor will seek out new people, help them with bike fit, suggest they sit more often, and keep resistance down, while they are getting used to it. Talk to instructor before class. He or she will probably help you feel a lot more at ease. If not, I say you have a loser of an instructor, but if you think you'll enjoy it, ignore him/her and do what you feel like anyway.

There are old ladies in my class who kick my azz every time I go. Thay're always there at the time that I can make it so they must do it often. It's hard but gets easier. It'll always be a "workout", though. My instructor comes out sweating and burns hundreds of calories.
