Jason and I attended a Spin Class at the gym today. For those that have never had the pleasure of experience Spinning, it is basically 45 minutes of pedaling a stationary exercise bike while the instructor tells you to pedal faster, pedal uphill and stand up and pedal. (for more info, visit http://www.spinning.com/) Sounds fun, huh?
Spinning class requires that you be somewhat cardio-fit. I should let you in on a secret, I am not in shape at all. Besides my weekly dance class and the occasional trip to Curves, I do not get much exercise (until now!) Needless to say, this class nearly killed me. My legs hurt, my hands hurt (from bearing down on the handlebars) and yep, you guessed it, my butt hurts too! Lord only knows how I will feel tomorrow....
Jason, on the other hand, handled the class fine. It actually looks like he has been taking Spin classes everyday behind my back! He pedaled along barely breaking a sweat as I gulped down my water (then half of his) and seriously thought I may pass out and have a heart attack! The only part of the class that I excelled at was the stretching at the end. That's right, Mama & Daddy, the thousands that you spent on dance lessons were not a waste, I am an expert when it comes to flexibility! :-)
The one positive - anything that hurts this bad HAS to produce results!!!Tomorrow night we try a Zumba class. Not 100% sure what it is, but apparently it combines Latin dance moves with aerobics. Hopefully I'll do better at that, stay tuned for the full report!

Heh there ga1! Keep up the good work. Just checking into your blog now and will do so more frequently I hope. Good idea on your part. But still I am more used to email. Hi to Jason for me. Your mama and I were messaging today like crazy during the late afternoon. Ron left of Charlotte today on business. Sending hugs here! A high of 41 tomorrow!
