Spinning


Brought all of my gear to the gym this afternoon. I really couldn't decide what I wanted to do. In the end, I figured that I would get dressed to bike, as I haven't ridden in a long while.

Much to my surprise, the machines they have in the regular cardio area are the same machines they use in the spin classes... plus giant video screens. I set up the bike (which the screen, very helpfully, instructed me on) and settled in for a half hour ride. I selected a spinning video (so neat that this is an option) and did some interval training. I worked on cadence, as I couldn't monitor heart rate... apparently I need a strap. The workout was over before I knew it and I definitely felt like I got my money's worth from the 30 minutes.

Anyway, now that I know how it works, I'll be seeing a lot more of the bikes at the Y!
