Thoughts on cycling class

Does anyone on here go to cycling classes? I am thinking about trying it out. I am a little over three months out and down 71 pounds. I have been doing aqua and regular zumba and I am looking to try something new. Looking for opinions if you have tried it or do it. Thanks

Congratulations on your 71 pounds.  I do a cycling class 2 days a week.  I alternate with running the other 3 days.  The amount of work out you get with spinning depends totally on you and the amount of resistance that you put the bike.  That is perfect for a beginner because you can adjust the resistance for how you are feeling.  As you get stronger then you can up the resistance and it is a harder workout.  Go a little early to your first class and have the instructor show you how to set up your bike.

 

I have ridden my bike, but not done a class. If you sign up--let me know what you think!!

I say go for it! I have been spinning 2-3 times a week, 45-60 min classes for the past 2 years. Yes, it took me a long time to work up to this and I spent a lot of time "in the saddle" when the instructor said to be up! This was at nearly 300lbs too (HW was 285). I was scared to try it, but said wth!

I am returning to my first spin class on Wednesday since surgery (3 weeks out). Good luck!
