Goal Work: Life is like riding a bicycle - in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving. ~Albert EinsteinAs I mentioned earlier, the training for the 42 mile trek :-) across NYC has started. Others on my team have decided to take spinning classes. I am sure you have heard of spinning classes which are also known as group stationary biking. I figured it is like doing treadmill work but with a group to motivate you. I don't belong to a fancy gym with such classes but I figured I could create my own gym. I have a stationary bike, I have a TV, I have a DVD player, I have a netflix subscription. Sure enough if I connect all the dots, I have a spinning class. Of course my stationary bike was upstairs and my DVD players was downstairs so my husband solved that by buying himself a BlueRay player for downstairs and giving me the DVD player for upstairs. Tuesday's will now officially become spin class day at my house.

Choices: I went to the store this evening to my some groceries and my daughter asked me to buy her guacamole dip and chips. Unfortunately when I got home from the store I helped her consume them. Bad choice.
Here is my Spin advice:
ReplyDelete1. Find a way to do a spin class with an instructor. Just once will be eye opening on intensity, resistance and form.
2. All the classes I do use intervals in the class. They all also do a combo of climbs (increasing resistance), sprints (fast) and jumps (out of the seat)
Have fun! I would be curious how much you think it helps with real biking.
Thanks Gin - Yes in the past I have taken spin classes - indeed they are intense. Not quite the same with the video but I was sweatin.
