Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I want to be able to keep up with the rest of the family on cycling holidays so went to my first RPM class this morning . (Used to be called Spinning, on exercise bikes.) Quite enjoyed it but am expecting sore legs tomorrow . Anyone else do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Did it once. I say 'once'. I lasted 25 minutes and then crept out of the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I used to do it but found myself looking out of the window at the sunshine and wishing I was riding a bike in it so I tend to cycle now. It was good fitness though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yep I used to do those classes at the gym, tho my legs ached the next day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I have done them but I confess that I cheated. When the teacher would say, "Now crank up the dial as we are going up a hill." I would sometimes not crank it as much as I should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Why not just get on a bike and ride it somewhere, much more interesting with all the scenery, terrain etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 All well and good, Fred, but I just wouldn't. I don't mind cycling if I'm going somewhere (I cycle to work when OH has the car) but can't motivate myself to "go for a cycle". It's like exercising at home - it just doesn't work. You need a real person shouting at you to do it . I can, however, go for runs without someone shouting at me. I know, I'm strange . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
