Spin class!

I was sleeved on march 24th and today was the first day in many months that I went to spin class...so glad I did it! Starting spin again definitely made me feel like a beginner again, but it's a start and I'm looking forward to it every week :) the instructor was great and I made friends with 3 women in my class..one of them had no idea that I was a beginner! She was impressed with how well I pushed through the class :) so grateful for my sleeve and the knowledge and experiences it has given me! Happy Monday! xo

Thanks.....I actually was kidding..... :P As you can see by my avatar, most of my cycling has a motor. B)

Funny u posted about spinning, they are starting a beginner spinning class at my local gym & I am wondering u have to stand up when the instructor tells u to. I have a terrible time standing up on a bike while pedaling.

A big portion of a spin class is standing up..the best advice I can give you is go at your own pace! Don't stop, just pedal slower if you have to. Also, you don't have to use the resistance that the instructor tells you to use..you have to work your way up to the fast pace otherwise you will set yourself up for disaster ( it happened to me once years ago) you could end up throwing up, or even worse, passing out and falling off the bike... I hope this was helpful

I went to my first spin class in about ooh 6 years yesterday. I forgot how tough it is, up until now I have been biking with med- to moderate resistance, and I thought i was ready boy was I wrong. I hurt and am walking funny today. I might wait till next week to try another class, or at least I am walking normal again. As much as I hurt, I am so proud of myself for going, I was sleeved in February, but only started working out again a month and a half ago. Kudos for you for going. :)
