Well, add that to the list of "things I never thought I'd do a year ago"...
I started spin class in my new bike skort, which is super-cute, so that made it all the more fun.
I met Alisha and Rob at the Y, and we jumped right in. We started out pretty fast, and then, the instructor said, "Oh yeah, this class is hills."
*gulp* I shot a nasty glance at the architect of this plan - Alisha. (Sorry, A!)
The theme was movies, and it was pretty intense. The idea was to stay with the cadence of the songs while increasing the resistance and coming out of the saddle as instructed. There were more than a couple of times that I wished I had started at the bottom of the hill a little easier! I was glad I didn't have to back off though. A few times I did have to slow it down a smidge.
I can say that spin class was definitely a challenge. My heart rate was super-high, and I think that's a good thing. I sweated like crazy. My butt is sore.
According to My Fitness Pal, I earned 763 calories. Not bad. I'll definitely do spin again, but probably not every week. It was a nice change up from what I'm used to! And thank god I got all those calories - we visited my grandmother and she insisted I eat a dove ice cream bar... 250 calories later... eep.
This hurt leg thing isn't so bad!
