I never realised spinning was so hard! Or so much fun!

Did my first full spinning class last night. I've tried (and bailed) before. But last night got a different instructor and jeez it was SO HARD but SO GOOD too! I felt KNACKERED but pumped also when the session was over. Going back tomorrow for more!

    I found it fun for like the first five sessions after that it got boring and found the burn way too intense. Glad you found a cardiovascular exercise you enjoy. :)

    I'm going to give this a go in a few months. Not right now, because at 207lbs I think I might literally die. But I do want to try it soon.

    Ok, Ok, I can admit it.... I'm addicted to SPIN... Actually, I have been for over two years now. I would typically do two spin's a day one for lunch and one for dinner, literally LOL - with cardio exercise I never expected my legs to get SO defined but my saddle bags have vanished and now I've decided to give it a mini rest ~ even though I REALLY miss it ~ so I'm only spinning about 3-4x a week and lifting weights 6x a week. All I've gotta say is if you wanna try it, try it now - why are you waiting? There's a few larger ladies in some of my classes and personally, I'm so proud of them because they're there and they're not looking for the "easy way" they've gone straight to the "I'm gonna bust my a** no matter what it takes" route. This shows character. :bigsmile:

    You won't die! I started spinning at 230lbs and have kept at it, mostly taking 2 classes a week. The best part about spinning is that you just do what you can do. The more you go, the easier it gets!

    There's no time like the present. I started running etc when I was 235, it was hard but the sooner you get started the sooner you start seeing (and feeling) the results.


    To the OP - that's the sign of a good class / instructor, they leave you wanting more.

    For the most part I like spin but haven't been in a while. You usually have to find a really good instructor that is motivating to keep you wanting to come back.

    I LOVE to spin. Its my gym addiction. I go to different instructors classes so it doesn't get old. Ive been going for a while and I go a few times a week so I'm able to start getting crazy...like putting my tension on 7 and moving it up from there for the whole class.
