Need help tweaking my routine

I'm thinking of doing Spin "class" on my own. I found some CD's on Amazon that are set up like music from the classes. They have alternating slow and fast songs and I've been to classes so I know to have hills on the slow songs and sprint on the fast ones (and of course do warm up and cool down). Would it be a good investment to get a couple of these and do this on my own? Any ideas? How would I incorporate it into my work out schedule? I hear Spinning is recommended 3 days a week to show results (I used to go 5 days a week). The classes at my gym are inconveniently timed being held either during my work day or at the time of my other classes so going TO a class isn't really an option anymore.

This is my current work out schedule:

Mornings-30 mins Swimming 20 mins Yoga (cheesy, but it's stretching and I like it)

Evenings-Tuesdays, Thursdays-Bellydancing Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays-Pilates
Both are classes that last an hour.

I also do full body strength training every night (except Sundays) pushups, situps, lunges and squats. With stretching this also takes about an hour.

I run on Saturdays and since stopping Spinning my runtime has gotten terrible so I definitely want to incorporate it again somehow.

Thanks!
