Spinning classes

[Karlos]

I've been spinning three times most weeks for several months which has no doubt helped me get quickly back into road riding. It's great fun and at 48 even though I'm often one of the oldest there I keep up with all but the very fittest. As a bonus the girls kind of see it as their duty to look after me which as there are usually two or three guys and seventeen ladies makes it great fun.

Note to all the men here - the vast majority of spinning class goers are women. Now most of us are generally fitter than the average bloke, so we find ourselves in the position of having an oversupply of women and probably being fitter than the other blokes the women see. Just for the moment I can't think of any reasons *not* to want to go spinning. :-)

I just 'survived' my first spinning class ;0)
People aren't exaggerating when they say how hard it is. I almost kept up with them but the standup/sit-down sprint reps beat me after a while. I'm hoping that if I make it a regular thing it'll help strengthen my legs.

Mmmm, I'm convinced. I want to leave it till Mid Sept time, I'd rather get quality time on a real bike up till then - and money reasons. But these two posts have me signing up for lessons. Especially Battered's post - not that I'm shallow or anything!
