I admit that I am powerless over my addiction… Spinning owns me.
Once I finally got over the notion that sweating = bad mojo and tried this class, I was hooked. I don’t even know how to describe to you the feeling of elation - triumph - euphoria that you get from a good spinning class… It’s a drug. You feel invincible, and learn ways to push your body to achieve things you wouldn’t think possible.
Why didn’t somebody tell me about this sooner? Actually, this chick I worked with at my last job used to swear by it, but I took one look at her bony ass and figured it might kill me. But umm… I was wrong. I rock at spinning! Between this class and dealing with emotional baggage via this blog (thanks for listening, you poor souls) I finally broke through the wall and dropped like five pounds over the last two weeks.
My buddies at the gym are already wise to my addiction. Last week I went to put my name down on the sign-in sheet at the front desk and right as I’m about to put pen to paper, Gregg swipes the binder away from me and asks how many spinning classes I’m gonna take this week… “It’s only my third,” I plead — Give me my speed, dammit!

I’m so confused! Is spinning like… a bike?
Sorry, in advance, for my ignorance.

You know, this is what I should have been doing all these months leading up to the wedding. Maybe then I would have gorgeous, thin thighs! Darn. Oh, well. Gives me something to look forward to afterwards to keep off that “newlywed fifteen,” right?

Good for you! I used to be addicted to running (before the kids) - nothing beats the high you get from a good workout!!! Hopefully I can get back into it soon!

Congrats! Spinning is awesome! Next to hip-hop, it’s one of my favorite classes. My fiance just got into spinning - He’s hooked!

It would be cool if you could blog as you were spinning.

I’ve wanted to try it but I’m totally afraid that it would kick my butt. That, and I don’t know where a class is offered around here. Heh!

I’ll take a spin class with you when you get the chance!

Thanks, but I’d rather not be blown away by a professional…
You’d pass me even on a STATIONARY bike!

Um… I hate to be a downer, but couldn’t you just ride a bike, like outside? Surely the fresh air and scenery would make it more enjoyable? And you could stop for a picnic too! That kinda defeats the purpose doesn’t it? A picnic of celery. Now theres an idea!

With my asthma and the crunchy Los Angeles air, outdoor sports are a very bad idea… Someone needs to install a giant Ionic Breeze skyscraper in this city, and then maybe I’d have a fighting chance.

Don’t spin too fast or that nice $80 shirt you got that matches your perls will not fit any longer. It’ll be too big!

I can’t put down this bong long enough to start spinning…

[...] So, you already know about my progress with the circuit training and spinning, and dealing with food issues and stuff. But today I’m going to give you a glimpse at what it takes, on a consistent basis, for my body to start melting off the lard. If the average young lady were to adhere to this regimen, I bet every dime I own that she’d end up a heck of a lot more slender than the overly curvy size six I fight so hard to keep. Check this insanity… [...]

Me, Ms. Lazy Ass herself… I am trying my first spinning class tonight. I am incredibly nervous, and excited at the same time.
Wish me luck, Rora!

[...] So, I’m at the gym moments before spinning class is about to begin, and as I’m preparing to don my spiffy new cycling shoes I suddenly realize that I left my towel in the car. Since I just purchased a new pair of trainers last night, I figured I’d just give them a quick test run. [...]
