    Knees, not so much. But butt and quads, so much.

    But it really is worth it for me. I think you might really enjoy it.

    What about your knees?? Do they hurt? Is it not smart for me to do if my knees tend to hurt or do you think it will strengthen them??

    It will help strengthen them without the impact of some other cardio workouts. Just watch your speed when you are at a low resistance... if you go too fast, you can hurt your knees.

    Try it!!!

    But definitely give it a few classes before making up your mind. You are probably going to hate it after the first time. :laugh:

    Then I bet you'll be an addict. :drinker:

    Exactly, your knees should never point outwards...if they do, you need to add resistance.

    Go a few minutes early to get your bike set up. You will love it. I just got home from one and feel great so now I am going for a run/walk with the dog!!

    I was apprehensive at first as well- it always seems so intense when you hear about it. And it is! But it's also SO much fun. It's challenging and kicks your *kitten*, but never gets boring. I love the sprints the best. :-)

    Uh...kinda crossing a line here...at least for me.

    In other, non-innuendo news, I was inspired by this post and hit up a spin class tonight. I was kinda intimidated and took lots of breaks but there's no denying it is a GREAT workout! I burned 600 calories in an hour and I feel amazing!
