Hello my fellow MN OH'ers!

I went to a spinning (a.k.a. studio cycle) class today for the first time in five years! I made it thru the class pretty good and I actually worked out to a point of really getting sweaty today.  What a difference taking an instructor led group class makes on your work out!

Coincedentally, I realized that today I am 100 days post-op.  So, here's my 100 day post-op photo.  I currently weigh 271 pounds, having lost 109 pounds in the last year:



What is everyone else in MN doing for activity during these wintery days we've been having?  Please post me back and let me know!  Take Care & Stay Warm!

Curious where you took the class yesterday?? I was supposed to do one at Lifetime in Lakeville but it snowed alot harder in Lacrosse and didnt make it back in time. Spinning is the best workout and I always feel soooo good after. Yup instructors keep ya extra focused!! Congrats on such a great successful 100 days!!

Hi Kim,

I went to the 8 a.m. spinning class at the Maple Grove LIfetime Fitness (which is a sport club).  The class was taught by Michelle.  It was filled to capacity yesterday and late comers were being turned away.  The new styled spnning bikes are a lot more comfortable than the old style bikes.  However, I think I'm going  to invest some money in a good gel seat cover, none the less.  I liked the class, but the group fitness instructors have been tasked by LTF management to give the hard sell on the metobolic endurance checks.  I think they need to tone down the marketing on that a bit.  Other than that - it was a very good class.  I will be going again next time I am home for the weekend.  I hope this helps!

-Alan
