"Everything I Know About Prayer I Relearned in Spin Class" was written by a Jesuit. He has a number of observations. Find it at: http://thejesuitpost.org/site/2012/04/everything-i-know-about-prayer-i-relearned-in-spin-class/
"For those of you who don’t know, peeking into a spin class entails seeing a room full of sweaty people pedaling away atop stationary bicycles while rocking out to pop music and listening to an instructor with way too much energy somehow still manage to yell orders like a Prussian drill sergeant. All while cycling at 120 RPM.
It’s pretty much awesome. It also has a striking number of parallels with the spiritual life.
That’s not to say that it’s easy to pray immediately after spin class (especially when I can’t get Rihanna out of my head), but I have relearned a lot about prayer through my experience atop an exercise bike. In honor of the greatest #11 of all time, Sparky Anderson (sorry Isiah, but what you did to the Knicks disqualifies you), here are the top 11 prayer lessons I’ve relearned by spinning:..."

I haven't exercised regularly recently because I was uncomfortably pregnant. I plan to get back to it now. When I was at the gym I would say rosary and/or Divine Mercy chaplet while on treadmill. I found when I was praying for a particular intention I'd increase the
intensity of my work out. I often pray "have mercy on "name" and on the whole world" placing a specific person into the decade of the Chaplet instead of "have mercy on us".0 -

I love to pray the rosary when I go for leisure walks- praying slows me down considerably- but find that I am SO easily distracted... I do better to listen to podcasts so i don;t feel so guilty when my mind wanders
ps- scott hahn is fantastic... a major contributor in our conversion decision!0
