I'm taking my first spinning class tonight and I'm super pumped because it looks hardcore! I'll let you guys know if I make it in the morning, hopefully I'll at least live through it!

    I wanna do kick boxing SO bad, but there isn't any classes at my gym that fit my schedule. They're re-doing the schedule as of the 11th so hopefully there will be then!

    It's a cycling class. You sit on a special stationary bike and have an instructor tell you to pedal fast, increase/decrease tension to simulate hills and what not.

    Holy caloric burn. 1 hour nets me around 650-700cals (I wear a heartrate monitor to track it).

    VERY addicting!

    ETA: Good luck on your class! I really like it. Though I use a spin bike on my own now....keep needing to get back to the class, but I've been working out later than the class...need to get to the gym earlier :laugh:

    SPINNING ROCKS! It is the most intense workout if you push through it and you need to push through it to get the full effect.

    One important tip: ** Drink lots of water during and after ** :drinker:
    this will help reduce the pain the next day.
    Good Luck!
