Did You Move To Lose? I need a bandaid for my butt
Hi Everyone
Sorry for posting this so late in the day... I had a bar bell strength class I wanted to attend.
Well as we all know I suggest often that we try new things to keep the old bod quessing and to something you love to do. One of my New Year resolutions was to try new things. Well I took my first spin class last night....OMG
First of all, you get your cardio work out by standing up and peddling. I was not able to do it for very long the first time, I have bad knees and it really seemed to bother them. So I sat most of the class. They have a screen that is flashing outdoor stuff and the instructor says things like we are in the woods, feel the sun shine, smell the fresh air.
Ok, I have an great imagination but this was not working for me
She did say you have to take the class at least 5 times to give it a fair chance. I will give her that, as I tell people when they first start to exercise to give it 30 days and you will be hooked. But this REALLY hurts your butt. They say it takes 3 days for the soreness to go away
I look like a rode a horse for a week
So I plan on doing it a few more times. I am going to ask the instructor how long it takes to get to where you can stand and if I am doing something wrong that is making my knees hurt.
But I have to say, this is some intense workout and if you have serious cals to burn this is the way to go
So I got back this morning from my barbell strength class. You workout all the body parts with weights. I really love this class.
So my friends, Did You Move To Lose and or Maintain Today? Come on the week is almost over and we are kicking some serious butt
Take care,
Kathy

Hi Kathy!
Sorry to hear about your sore posterior, but good for you for trying something new and not giving up after the first try!
I did cardio (10 miles on the bike) yesterday and strength today (about 45 minutes worth)!
Tomorrow is my scheduled day of rest with cardio again on Sunday. I may switch them though, I have to get moving early tomorrow anyway.... Maybe I will try to stand and pedal, although I don't know that my bike will handle it, but I won't know if I don't try.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you on Monday!
