i finally stopped procrastinating...
and joined a gym that has a spin class.
With temps in the 20s and wind chill near zero I wasn't going to be riding outside anytime soon. I hate, hate, hate riding on a trainer so I went down to the local gym/fitness center and checked them out. They have 2 spin classes almost every day so i'm sure i'll be able to find time 3 times a week.
The class was pretty intense with a lot of up/ down, more than i'm used to. Also a lot of time at a very high cadence. So I did what I could and still drank 40oz of water over a one hour class.
My biggest issue was the addle, it's a real ass hatchet and i'm gonna have to try moving it to see if there's a sweet spot.
$50/per month and it's month to month so i can stop at any time.
