Just got back from 5th Class. I did 2 things that I believe helped. 1.) I didn't do the out of the saddle sprints. I did them as I would on a bike... seated. They want you to use the "Aero bars" on the Keiser spin bikes. I don't have them on any bikes and my form goes all to hell when I try to use them. 2.) The instructor allowed me to spin for 15 minutes after the class for a warm-down. I feel really good now.

This doesn't include the 15 minutes of warmup or the 15 minutes of warm down. It's just the actual class. I wonder how accurate the power meter is. It said I averaged 179 watts for the main session.I know the mileage meter is too generous.

PS Barrett: Thanks for the kind words when you're as in as bad a shape as I was 2 1/2 years ago big changes are easier to come by.

Allegheny: I share your videos shamelessly.
