Spinning Outside Without Any Seats
When I arrived at my gym today, I saw some ladies bringing spin bikes outside and I realized we would be spinning outdoors. This was a first for me, but not really surprising since somebody told me they sometimes do this. It was a very nice day out and the room we usually spin in is quite stuffy so this was a nice change.. The only problem with being outdoors was that I was stuck in the sun and I did not have any sunscreen. I feel a little sunburned on my back but nothing major, I guess I will need to remember to bring my sunscreen and visor to spin class from now on.
Another interesting thing about spin today was that the instructor ended up on a spin bike with a broken seat. This meant he had to spin out of the saddle the whole class. And since misery loves company he also made us stay off the saddle most of the class as well. With 15 minutes left in class he came around and lowered all our seats so we couldn’t sit down. He had us going up and down, without being able to sit and my quads were burning. To further kill my legs we did 40 lunges after we got off our bikes..OUCH. Great workout but am wondering if I am going to be sore tomorrow!

OMG! That sounds like a killer workout! I hope you can walk tomorrw… i know i would’nt be able to!
Wow, how could you even stand after that session? It’s been a long time since I did spinning, but I remember having spaghetti-legs after really intense sessions!
Ahh that sounds awful! I have still never tried spin but I know I would really like it! Maybe once I get a gym membership.
