I think I'm in love...

With spin class! Now I'll admit that it took a couple tries before it grew on me. The first time, it was awful! My butt hurt from the seat, my shoulder hurt from being hunched over, and my feet cramped up so bad I almost cried.

Amazingly, I went back... but this time, I was armed with a very cushy bike seat cover and the knowledge that if I moved my seat forward my shoulders wouldn't hurt so much. But my feet still cramped up :sad: So I asked the instructor what I could do about it. He suggested a sports drink before and during class.

Enter Powerade Zero... quite possibly the best stuff on earth besides pure, clear water. No calories, no bad aftertaste... the strawberry flavor tastes like kool-aid. No stomach cramps because it's made with sucrolose instead of sugar alcohols. I drank half of it before I went in to class, and mixed the other half with water in my sports bottle for the class.

Third time's the charm, there were no foot cramps! No butt ache, no shoulder ache, just pure, unadulterated spinning joy :happy:

Can you tell that I'm in a really good mood now? I FEEL ALIVE!!!!!

And no, I have not been drinking :drinker: ...

Oh yeah... I definitely suggest a padded bike seat, it makes such a difference! I picked mine up at Target for about $18.

I'm with you...not a huge fan, we offer it in my studio and it's always packed, that class, step flex and zumba, we have to turn people away they are always at the limits.
