I attended my first and last indoor cycling class today. A friend of mine invited me to sign up a while ago, and I agreed thinking it would be a fun way to get some exercise. Class started two weeks ago, but I came down with a yucky head cold and didn't feel good enough to go until today. Notice I said that it was my first and LAST class? The class isn't ending. I'm just not going back. No way. Not ever. You couldn't pay me enough. See this little thing right here?
Torture Device
Oh. my. goodness. I haven't been in this much pain since I gave birth! Not kidding. The teacher gave me a gel seat cover to use, but it didn't help much. She said it would get better after about two weeks. Ok... So... flabby thighs or two weeks (maybe more) of pure torture? I think I'll keep my flabby thighs, thank you very much! Another friend of mine said that spin class would, "kick your butt." I thought she meant it would be a strenuous workout. I didn't know I was supposed to take her literally. Well, I guess I can say I did it once. I'm certainly glad it's over! Now, I think I need to go take another Aleve.

Jenny - I know what you mean, and I thought I would never go back, either. Then I talked to an instructor friend of mine who said I probably didn't have the seat adjusted right. I had her help me adjust it the second time, and it was much better. It does get addicting after a couple of classes. If you feel like trying it again, talk to the instructor before class and tell her/him your problem and they may give you more attention with the seat.
ReplyDeleteHey Jenny!! I had to look for you because you don't go through my stream of updated blogs...I've been missing out!!
ReplyDeleteOK...too funny. Let's go donut shopping together!!! haha!! Miss you...wanna come back to 2nd?? We have an opening. :)
ha! I totally know what you mean, but for me, it was more of the strenuous workout. Dasun and I went to one about 5 years ago when we got motivated to get in shape. We made it for about 30 minutes and then I made up an excuse to get out of there. We went from not working out at all, to trying that...no smart. I thought I was going to die!
ReplyDeleteI had a seat like that on my bike in Diego Garcia...I fully empathize!
ReplyDeleteYour play list is nice, esp. Jars of Clay.
