I am just going to say that I am really sore right now. I took for the first time in my life a spinning class at the LA Fitness gym that I joined with my boss last week. I made it through the whole class and I was so proud of myself. I was really scared going this morning and almost didn't go. I don't know why I was scared but I made a few new friends and one said that she is here every sunday morning and she would see me next week. I can't wait to do it again.

    I've heard that those spinning classes are exhausting! I haven't signed up for one at my local gym because I've been too scared...

    you make me rethink myself...

    Congrats! I haven't ever tempted one! I heard you can burn 900-1000 calories in one of those classes! You go girl!

    Thanks everyone!!!!!

    I was so scared too to take it but I am so glad that I took the class, I am going to try and make another class this week. I know one thing that I didn't let it bother me that there were some skinny chicks in front of me, I just keep thinging I am going to be like that soon. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    It is a stationary bike class, with hip hop music, It really burns alot of calories and I know when I got off the bike I could hardley stand on my legs, but totally worth it!!!!

    Great job for getting through the class. My trainer had me do it for 10 minutes, and i was cursing the damn bike by the time i was done. I don't think i could do that for a whole class. I hopeshe doesn't make me do it again anytime soon.

    Great job, and the first time is the hardest, so next time it will be a little easier.

    GREAT JOB,
    My best friend lost lots of weight spinning. She seemed to love it, but it wasn't for me. Hurt my personal ;0) lol.
    Now I love to watch movies and it just so happens the gym I belong to has a movie theatre that has stadium cardio equipment. It is awsome. I can go in and spend 40 to 60 minutes on the treadmill while watching the movie. Unfortunately I travel a lot with my job and am away from home many days.
    I believe it is important to find what works for you. I am trying to find something that works for me on the road.
    Keep up the good work!

    oh yeah I know what you mean mine hurts like**** but i know it will pay off in the long run. I love the club because I can go to any of them around the town and take different classes. I am going to try and do some cardio for a while still i can get the weight down some and try out a personal trainer there to help some of my bad spots, oh wait I have alot of bad spots :sad: Oh well I am still going strong right now. I know that I need a hrm to get the exact calories that I did burn but I know it was alot. Have a great night everyone!!!

    Hrmmmm, I'm thinking about taking one now. I usually hate stationary bikes as I never feel like I burn enough calories or get a great workout... but I may try out a class though as I hear they do kick your butt. We'll see, still working up the courage I suppose. :ohwell:

    Congrats to you and keep up the great work!! :bigsmile:

    Thanks, It was a great workout, I am a little sore today but trying to stretch my legs, I can already tell a difference in my legs. I know it has only been one class but it was a total body workout. I think trying the class has set some new goals for me. I am taking a aqua class tomorrow night and ready to get into the water to work some more of these muscles. But totally worth every minute of that class. I need to take it again on Wednesday but I bowl so I won't take it till Saturday. I can't wait:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
