My first spinning class!
So I’ve decided to try to up my cardio capacity, and I took my first spinning class today. I was pretty nervous about it at first, as I’ve never really taken a group fitness class before, and I’d hate to be that person that left after 10 mins cause I couldn’t hack it. (Although, after 10 mins, I felt like it!) Anyways, I make it kind of easy on myself…not too easy - but I didn’t kill myself either. The tunez were awesome and I think I gave it a decent effort. 2 things happened that were bad:
1) My arm rests collapsed on me. I didn’t hurt myself, but it might have been funny to see. Then, when I tried to pull it back up, I ripped it out and couldn’t get the damn thing back in. I just hopped on the next bike and kept going. I fixed it after class.
2) I got a stich (cramp, whatever) near the end, so I just biked for one song. Least I didn’t quit.
I’m still sweating sittin here at my desk and class ended over half an hour ago. I’m going to try it again Wednesday. I figger around 600+ calories in 35 mins.

I want to try spin sometime. It’ll have to be on a Saturday morning. The weekday morning classes start too late for me to get out of the gym when I need to. Sounds like a major sweat session.
