That is the question on my mind lately.
I have been expanding my workout horizons and have been trying as many classes offered at my gym as possible. I've tried a Bosu Ball class, an aerobic/step class (which I love!), Zumba (which I wasn't so fond of), etc. There is a class that I've been wanting to take but am scared. It's a spin class. I've heard wonderfully scary things about spin classes. I've heard how tough they are, how invigorating they are, how many calories are burned, and how sore you can be afterwards. All those things make me want to try a spin class but I'm still scared. I'm losing weight and getting healthier, but I'm still a big girl. I'm not sure if a girl my size can survive a hardcore spin class.
Anybody have any spinning experiences they can share with me?

I'm a qualified spinning instructor and taught for 10 years before moving to Germany.
Its sore to start off with ...your but and other parts really take strain. If you start - go to the orientation and beginner classes first.
Its good cardio workout. I have a friend who teaches in LA now, ( one of my ex pupils ) and she loves spinning, but also does weights.
Hey Nicole, I just came across your blog while updating mine...with a couple of comments about the Bakersfield Loser contest! All of the spin instructors understand that there are new people trying out the classes. They will encourage you along, but you are in full control of how far you turn that knob!!! It is a great cardio workout that's for sure! I have been writing a blog with a lot of updates pertinent to the contestants, as I am teaching the Wed night class...check it out at www.bakofit.com
Good luck...slow and stead may just win this race :)
Nicola
