SPIN class

Pshew! I got my T-shirt. It fits. Hallelujah!

 I’ve found a new love for non-weight bearing exercise: SPIN class. It feels good, it kicks my butt, and I leave 45 minutes later with 650 calories burned.

I played racquetball with Terry tonight, and he commented that he could tell SPIN has paid off: I’m much more agile. We actually volleyed instead of me just trying to dodge his serves and watch him play!

Unfortunately, the January New Year’s Resolution crew have decided to actually use their gym memberships. The class, which had extra bikes in Dec, is filling up by 11:35 for a 12:00 class!! People are arriving at 11 to get a bike.  Regulars, who work, arrive and find the bikes are all gone. I watched two separate chicks sign in for 4 different people and grab 4 tags. I think that’s ridiculous: That’s half the class right there, with only 18 bikes available! Plus one chick’s mother was 2 minutes LATE arriving, which hardly seems fair to the people who were actually on the premises and didn’t get a bike.

My suggestion to the gym is to add an 11:00 class for the early birds, thus lightening the burden of the 12:00 class. Or keep the tags/sign in behind the counter and assign ONE tag per person. Or both. Or add some SPIN bikes on the general floor, since the bikes they have out there won’t do extended positions.
