Wish me luck! I've been working out daily but not losing weight...I think that this class might be the trick..it's called Spinning Boot Camp and the instructor is going to kill me I think, she's tough! However, I think I will really benefit from this if I can keep it up...any thoughts/

Spinning is a high intensity, low impact form of exercise that involves a specially designed stationary bike, which is not all that different from standard bikes. I completed the class this morning..it starts at 6AM, and the worst part was actually sitting on the bike for close to a half hour, which really hurts my butt! Other than that, it was tough but doable...she had us standing on the bike as if we were pedaling uphill...we also did some weight training and a little bit of walking with a step...the instructor thought I did well for my first time, but I am super sore...it can only get better from here on out, right?

This sounds like a nice workout. It's challenging.. I like that. Congrats on doing well on your first time. I bet you'll do even better the next time.

Congrats on making it through your first workout! I haven't done spinning but I have seen it and I know everyone gets a great workout. And I can completely relate to the "sore butt"..I have a bike but rarely ride it because it hurts! Maybe once my butt gets smaller...:)
