I LOVE SPINNING!!!
My brother and sister-in-law (Hi guys!) introduced me to spinning at 24 hr fitness last August. I liked it. It was definitly a great workout. When Groupon featured Pedal Spin Studio, a local business dedicated soley to the art of spinning, I decided to try it out since it was such a great deal ($5 a class) and I needed a boost in my workout routine. You can burn from 600-1000 calories per class!!! We let me say it only took one class to hook me. When we arrive we all climb on the bikes and start spinning to warm up our muscles. Then our instructor walks around and greets us and the lights dim, the stage lights and music turn on, and the work begins. Every class is different depending on the type of class and instructor. My favorites are race day (where we simulate a bike race going up hills and coasting down winding roads and then "passing" each other with breakaways) and pedal party (where we spin to exciting dance music and do all sorts of muscle toning moves). I've been going 1-2 times per week since the middle of March and I look forward to every class. I've never been very big on group exercise so I was kind of surprised that I love it as much as I do. For those of you who are having a tough time picturing what spinning is, here is a picture of my spinning studio:
I am making progress!!!

Looks like fun! Wish we had that kind of thing around here. Maybe I should get a stationary bike and then have my husband do a light show for me while I'm exercising!
That looks FUN! I have been doing Jillian Michaels DVDs and they are kicking my butt. I tried jogging a mile this weekend (a joke). I am enjoying working out and feel so much better all around. I will have to look for this in my area. I am with you, I don't like working out with a group, but this looks great!!
Rock on, Elizabeth! I'm totally inspired by you!
I'm totally inspired, and still going to my wednesday morning class (doing everything I can not to schedule anything else in that time frame) because of you!
I have never been good at group classes either, and now I am considering a group strength class that's supposed to be awesome because of such a good experience with the spinning. :-) I love the snowball effect.
