I heard that spinning classes burn insane amount of calories. And those people were right!! I took my first spinning class today. And my bum and legs are already very sore I never seen so much sweat pouring out of me in that hour. I thought I was going to be carried out in a stretcher. But I survived the whole class. Lots of people left before the hour was up. I did cycling and biking on my own before. But never taken a class. Wow!! lol

Anyone else have this experience? hehe

I am going to take another spin class this sunday. hopefully I can walk tommorow

I am doing it on Mondays. It really kicks your ass. I love the burn. It is a really good work out and you are right. I have never sweated so much. Keep up the good work!

I am a HUGE fan of Spinning!!! Do it as often as I can! However keep in mind your posture, that is VERY important!!! Cycling shoes also make a HUGE difference!!!

Really?! I thought that was just hype from the instructor. But if you say so I guess I'll have to go and buy them!

I take my class on Mondays too, George! I'll be thinking of you next time I'm on that bike!

I do spinning classes and circuit training too.

Like all exercise, it's best to vary it and get lots of muscle groups.

Good luck.

Do your thighs need to be any bigger, Loz?

I do spinning twice a week, love it, only gets better. The instructor makes a big difference in the workout, so search for different classes if you have that option.
