Spinning

I headed to the gym this morning with the girls while William got some things done. I dropped the girls off at the play center and started towards the stairmasters. I saw that some people were waiting for a class to start. It was the spin class. If you're not familiar with the term, it's basically like riding a bike, you just don't go anywhere. I saw a girl I went to high school with waiting and talked to her for a minute about it. Sounded pretty intense. I thought I'd give it a try. After 5 minutes my legs were screaming at me! It was hard! I made it until 39 minutes until the daycare lady come to get me to tell me that Hailey had a dirty diaper. For some reason, they are not allowed to change diapers... The class was 90 minutes long. They are normally 45 minutes but on Saturday mornings it is 90 minutes. I don't know that I could have gone the entire 90 minutes! 45 I could handle probably. Let's just say that when I left my legs felt like jello and I literally had sweat pouring off of me. I have never had that happen before. I usually get sweaty but not like this! When I got off the bike it said I had rode 12.5 miles and burned 534 calories. Wow! I really liked the group setting with the instructor up there riding too tell you to "dig deep, push harder, turn your resistance a half a turn, stand up, go!" Wow, I couldn't have pushed through the pain unless there had been all those people in there watching... I was embarassed to get off when I did, but I had to because of Hailey. The music was loud and I just got into a zone. This was a great way to burn some calories. I'm looking forward to next Saturday when I can attempt again.
