Workout
Since I am still at home, I decided to attend the 9:00am spin class at my gym this morning. I haven't been to this class in so long, mainly because it is a 70-minute ride, and those feel exponentially longer than the hour-long rides. But, I love the instructor, so I decided to give it a shot. Plus, I had to redeem myself as I had to swallow my pride on Saturday and walk out of that class, due to not feeling well at all. I knew something had to be wrong because I am not one to walk out in the middle of a workout!
Today's spin class more than made up for Saturday's lack thereof - it was TOUGH - but I also really enjoyed it. The instructor makes it challenging, but not so challenging that you get frustrated because what she's asking you to do is so difficult. Plus, she's very encouraging, and she plays some of the best music of all the spin classes I attend.
Now I am preparing to set up shop on our dining room table, and get a couple solid hours of studying in before beginning the drive back to school. Have a great Monday!

I love that your class bikes display RPM And Watts. I always have such a hard time gauging my effort in spin classes when the teacher is just like "turn the knob half way"...it would be so much more helpful if you could actually SEE what you were supposed to be reaching (or even just heart rate goals for those of us who wear our HRMs in class). Glad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great? At first when my gym announced that they were getting new spin bikes, I was a bit skeptical, mostly because now I KNOW when I am slacking off - so it makes me push myself even harder to stay on track with the rest of the class!
DeleteAnd thank you - being sick is no fun at all!
