I have been researching some ofthe gyms around here and just looking into different things. For some reason, whenever I hear of a spinning class, it sounds great to me. I used to love riding my bike, but haven't done that in so long. I know you can really go all out if you do spinning and I just really like the idea of it.

Does anyone else here take spinning classes? Do you like it? Has it worked for you?

Joyce, if you want to go here, it should clear up some things for you. It is doing cycling on a stationary bike and the instructor changes it up, making you do different types of exercises. The link can explain it better than I can!

Could someone explain spinning class to me. Is it just riding bike, how long is the class?

Thanks

I think it is great everyone is getting involved in this! I haven't gone yet as I am waiting until I lose a little more wait, but once I do, WATCH OUT!

Are you others enjoying it? I really can't wait to start it. :biggrin1:

I absolutely love spinning! I can't wait for my next class. I took class on Tuesday and they had one last night, but I didn't want to go back to back and kill myself! Tonight I'm working with my trainer so hopefully I'll be able to take fridays class!

Tonights the big day! First day of class. I'm excited. Hope I can walk tomorrow... Hope I meet some cute guy in class too...well a girl can dream..

Thanks for the info, looks like fun.

OMG..the class kicked my butt..wow..just wow

I couldn't do it all..but at least i never stopped peddling..

it was fun ..but man my butt hurts and my legs wanna give out on me..lol

Thats Awesome! What I wanna know is can you walk today?!?

Well I'm certainly in pain but yeah I can walk. Last night though my legs kept on wanting to give out on me..lol. It really is a tough workout. I'm hoping next time I can do everything the trainer asks me to do.

I love spinning. I have been doing it for a few years now! Super workout! You'll love it once you get your rear used to the seat! Enjoy!!!

are the seats different than a regular stationary (Precor) bike?

the seats are smaller, I thought that riding the precor bikes for a couple weeks before I started spin would help, but I was wrong!

yay ... oh well ... i guess it'll get 'conditioned' ... i'm still chicken to go in there though. those people are DIE HARD ... and i dont wanna look like an idiot...

you totally won't look like an idiot, it's a great class for beginners because you can fake the tension if it gets to be too much, or you can just sit back and cycle slowly. I still can't do everything the instructor is calling for, but I know I'm getting a great workout! The other think that I like about it is usually the spin classes turn the lights out and blast the music, so I know nobodys looking at my butt jiggle!

LOL ... ok ok ok ... i've got a former instructor telling me i should try it and a bandster so i'll give it a shot. :eek:
