Spinning
For those of you that have never heard of spinning, imagine sitting on an indoor bike that is a reasonable approximation of a real one (unlike those ridiculous fat-assed powered things you see in most gyms) with a group of between 5 and 12 other people, with good music and someone yelling instructions. It's fast paced, high intensity, very sweaty, and a lot more fun than it sounds!
Well today was my first 2 hour spin class of the season. It is pretty damn tiring! I didn't expect to be so drained afterwards, especially given that it was a fairly low intensity workout, but it's been 4.5 hours and I'm still suffering from an exercise-induced hangover (probably need to bring gatorade next time). After the class I was about 1.5 lbs lighter than usual, even though I drank a litre and a half of water. The unfortunate thing is that I have to lead another one tomorrow! And I'm attending a third class on Monday! I think I've gone crazy. Anyway, at the very least I will be in great shape by the time next spring comes around.
