[Sportsandrec] Spinning

[Carly Mihalakis]

Karen,

So, you have been bitten by the spin bug, have you?
Yes, it is addictive!
I am one who spins morningly, and When  I was a 
newbie, I learned about cycle shorts, which 
are  tight, spandex short leggings equipped with 
pads on the butt for protection.
Another must, is shoes , designed specifically 
for the bike, with no laces  equip with Velcro, 
rather than laces which can untie. They clip into 
the pedals, to help standing in the saddle feel more safe and secure.
A must!
They are available at REI, or any sporting goods 
store, but I suggest procuring these things to maximize your spin experience.
And, Karen, happy spinning!

>50-minute spin class, as we were finished 
>slightly before the hour was up.  A few observations:

>1.  I finished the class.  About 30 minutes in, 
>I felt pretty certain that I was going to pass 
>out and fall off the bike.  Being stubborn, 
>however, I continured and managed to complete the class.
>2.  Those of you who spin everyday--God bless 
>you.  I will do it again, but I'm very impressed that you can do it so often.
>3.  I thought the standing up was going to be 
>the hardest part, but I found myself relieved to 
>be able to stand.  Which leasds me to...
>4.  My bottom hurts--a lot.  But it'll be 
>okay.  Hopefully by the next time I spin...

>That is all.  Even though it was hard, I can see 
>why you all like it so much. I imagine it 
>becomes addictive.  Have a great day all!
