Bike riding? WOW moment after two years postop

OMG..I went to my first spin/bike riding class today.  Before I went I knew it would last 50 minutes with a cooldown afterwards.  I thought on the way there, I probably will have to quit about 15 minutes into it.  OMG>>OMG...i lasted the entire time!!!! I am so proud of myself.  The instructor was the same person who did my fit assessment when me and hubby became members at the gym, she is there every weekday and has watched me progress to being almost a couch potato to this!!! She came to me after class and said, " You endurance in class amazed me!, Keep it up"  I certainly plan on going next week too!  Hubby tried it bless his heart, and actually made it through about 20 minutes then had to stop. He did rather well for a beginner exerciser...he went upstairs and walked the track almost a mile.  I am proud of him.  Anyway!!! I wanted to share my progress.. I could not have done this a little over two years ago!!! WOW moment for me at over 2 years postop for sure!! Hugs

That is awesome Judy!!!! congrats!!!
