Anybody Spin?

#1 Postby j » Wed Nov 08, 2006 12:13 pm

More specifically -- Group Ride classes. I have been at it for about 2 months now with my wife, and average of 3-4 times a week. My results are as follows (some negative, some positive):

1. No weight loss.
2. I'm always sore.
3. Increased appetite.
4. Very little free time anymore.
5. Better Cardio
6. lighter wallet due to spin shoes, and misc riding clothes
7. I leave class starving to death and intake more calories than I just lost
8. I feel pretty good after a shower.


I don't know -- I'm going to stick with it because I hate to quit at anything, but next to Karate, this is the hardest exercise routine I've ever gotten into.

I might join a class for the winter, but in the Spring/summer/fall, I'm outside doing the real thing.

Glad you said that. I used to ride, but haven't for 20 years. I spoke to some members who do both and they concur, ride class kicks your butt--so I don't feel so bad.

lol j!! You might be surprised and begin to drop weight soon.

I have never tried a "spin" class - have heard good things about it though.

I do, I do!!! After a few glasses of chardonnay I spin a little and after a bottle I spin a lot.
1. No weight loss and I don't care.
2. I'm only sore when I bump into something or fall down.
3. Wine is always better with food.
4. Very little free time anymore since I've met so many other wine connoisseurs.
5. Better vertigo.
6. lighter wallet due a great deal on a case of 2001 Marquis-Phillips.
7. I leave work starving to death and intake more calories in a glass of wine than I spin off.
8. I feel pretty good after a shower. I do, I do.

Bravo, Bravo. I'm very proud of you. Chad - I can't compete with this
