Well, since my office is closed this week, I have the week off. That means I have extra time and energy. My co-worker gave me a month free pass to her local gym, which is local to me too, and very close to work. Today I went to a spin class there for the first time! I have ridden a bike before, but always carefully avoiding hills- not so today!!
Whoa! Spinning is a whole new thing! The music, the lights and the instructor were all great. It took me about 20 minutes to get acclimated physically, to figure out where to put my weight on the bike to stand, and to tune my ear to what the instructor was saying because the sound system is so different from my home videos. It was a lot of fun standing up on the bike and pedaling exactly in time to awesome music!
My legs feel like they're gonna be sore tomorrow and/or the next day. I am contemplating joining this gym on their alternate day plan- just Tuesdays, Thurs and Sat- because I love my videos but I can branch out to group exercise and the A/C is great! It's $18.00/month for this. I need to try it more beforehand so I'll use this free month. I am so glad I had this week off and gathered the energy to do this first-time thing!
They have other classes like "Step Challenge" and "Powerflex" that sound familiar, all at convenient times.
By the way, the instructor told me I was in good shape, asked me where I worked out before, twice! Both times I answered "At home with videos." If she asks me more I'll tell her more. Thanks Cathe!
