Instead of powering through another bad treadmill run or doing the LiveFit Trainer, I decided to switch it up a little bit tonight and I did something that I have done in at least two years if not more. I went to a spinning class.
A co-worker and I decided to try out a spin class after work since we both belong to the same gym chain. We got there a little bit early and got on the spin bikes about 15 minutes before the class began. I don’t know why I didn’t think about it but that meant that we were actually on the bikes for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The spin room at this particular location of the gym was pretty nice. It was multi-leveled like a movie theater so you could see the instructor. The first 15 minutes or so of the class were pretty tortuous but I guess after a while, I either got used to it or I couldn’t feel my legs anymore because it seemed to go by much quicker.
All in all, I liked it fine. It was difficult and I’m sure I am going to feel it tomorrow. I do wish, however, that the instructor played better music. It was all crappy remixes. I listen to as much cheesy pop as the next person and enjoy it, but I really don’t like when it’s been remixed. Good thing I never aspired to be a DJ.
The class ended at 7:45 and by the time I got home, it was after 8. I still needed to take a shower so making a complicated dinner was pretty much out of the question. Enter Trader Joe’s Vegetarian pizza and a salad.
Is it just me or does a frozen pizza only serve two people? I know the package usually says three, but I disagree!
I HATE it when the music is all remixes — especially if they are remixes that never END.
Frozen pizza serves 2 people?? Pretty sure I could eat that all by myself
I could eat the whole thing myself too but it definitely doesn’t serve three!
And yes, Rhianna for like 10 minute straight. Ugh.
They only serve 2 in this household too!
Glad the class went well and didn’t hurt too bad.
I’m surprisingly not sore this morning. Although that might come later, I suppose.
Haha…our frozen pizzas DEFINITELY only serve the two of us!
I personally think they only serve one person…
I haven’t been to spin in forever, but it’s never been my favorite. I don’t think I’m hardcore enough.
I’ve been digging a once a week spin class lately! It’s a good switch up from running and is good at conditioning my lungs (and legs!). Hate when the music sucks though!
I never liked spin, but tried one recently and enjoyed it. Makes me want to join a gym again.
And I totally agree on those pizzas. I could eat a whole one myself!
Ooh I haven’t been to a spin class in over a year. I think my butt gets numb first…
I typically buy the single serving veggie pizzas from Trader Joes so I can eat the whole thing by myself!!
Was this class at LA Fitness?
Yes.
Sounds like you went to the Brookhaven gym – love their spin room! I took spin yesterday and this a.m. there. Since I can’t run much anymore, spinning seems to be the only exercise that can replace that runner’s high.
And I actually think frozen pizzas serve two on a good day; usually it’s more like 1 or 1.5
Have a good weekend!
I did! Do you have a favorite instructor there?
Yes, April is awesome! She’s my favorite, also James is good and Stephanie. They all teach weekday mornings and then April does Sundays at 9:15. I think Jessica on Monday after work is good too.
