Ok, I already have another challenge going on, so this one isn't going to be so detailed! What was I thinking was for the month of November have a spinathon. You can use this post to keep track of your miles and such.So use this as an excuse to go to a spin class or even jump on a bike and push yourself! You can burn 400-500+ calories in 40 minutes. here is a useful website about spinning>>>http://www.spinning.com/spinning-enthusiasts/spinning-program-faq.asp. Miles preferable should come from spinning but I guess cycling outside is just as good too! Well good luck everyone!
Some videos... I know the videos look super cheesy, you wont really know till you go but it can be super intense!

    oh great!!! Spinning has turned into my new fav. thing, I went just this morning :)... Is this just to see how many miles we get in November or are you setting a goal to attain?

    I guess just to get as many miles as you can, if you want you can post your goal you want to attain in here. But I started another challenge starting soon so I don't want to watch over two you know?

    Yeah, I'd be on for this as long as RPM counts as spinning!

    Seriously OP you should get a smaller signature, had to scroll through all that crap which makes me feel avoiding this thread all together.

    I did my first ever spin class on Sunday and now my quads are FUBAR'd!
    If I can log my road miles, then I am in - even though Today I am forced to work from home due to the legs, so no milage :(

    Yes, I guess you can put your road miles in but like I said before Hopefully the primary source of miles can come from spin! :happy: The first few spin classes are the worst haha Good luck!

    But how do you know the distance from spinning class, if there are no computers on the bikes? I can estimate that 45 mins might be 12 - 15 miles or so?

    I have the same problem. I plan on asking the teacher. A rough estimate is fine Im sure. As long as you dont inlfate it a little. Ha Ha!

    Good luck everyone!

    IM totally in!!!!

    its like 12 to as high as 19 depending how many sprints you do. The bikes we have tell you how far but you teacher would most likely know! :D

    I hated my first class, my inside thighs hurt so bad !! But, that was 3 weeks ago, and it does get better, after about 3 times, IMO. Now I really like it. :)

    20 miles from spin with about 20 mins from on my own. spin class again tomorrow. the class is hard at first but so worth it. after a few you learn to have a love hate relationship.
