blah Spin Class 00:49

Least favorite spin class, possibly ever, with my least favorite substitute instructor - it was akin to "aerobics on a bike". I was really looking forward to a structured training-style class with the regular instructor (pyramids, intervals, etc) but instead felt like I was going to blow out a knee cap with all the 2nd position jumps that she apparently loves so much.

One thing I realized though was that it's become very clear over the past year or so I've begun to make the leap from the casual spin class attendee to one that takes each class as serious as I had once taken my running and yoga. The next thought was "Greattttt...let's add another expensive sport to the roster, why not?".

    Yay for you being here! I keep trying to trick myself into thinking running is not an expensive sport. Yeah, right. I hate it when a class isn't what you've expected.

    Thanks - I really need to get back to tracking regularly!

    Oh yeah, between running and snowboarding and hiking I'm already over my head. And I'm starting to mountain bike this summer and then probably road cycling - OUCH! I usually try and keep an open mind with classes and instructors, but this one is just awful for spinning :(

    I do a lot of stationary biking, but have been intrigued by this spin class phenomenon. I think I'll try one after my marathon. Nice spinning!

    Thanks! It's a great cardio option, and if you find the right instructor can be really beneficial to training. My instructor actually ran the marathon Monday and opted to take the day off, can't really get too upset over that lol.
