Who Has Tried Spinning?

I LOVE spinning. I started doing it after my son was born 5 years ago and I have continued to do it after my other two children were born in the last 4 years. It will make you want to die at first, but stick with it! I threw up the first time I took a class, no kidding!! But I made myself keep going. It seemed like a month went by and I didnt notice anything happen to my body, but all the sudden after that pounds starting melting off! I went from 150 pounds to 121 in 4 months! I added 30 minutes of weight training twice a week and a 4 mile jog twice a week. But I didnt add that until later, after I really got in shape. I will give you some advise that really helped me... i invested in a good pair of spinning shoes. YOu can get them at bicycle or sports shops. They really helped me become more efficient when I spun, plus it didnt make my feet hurt as much like they did using the tennis shoes.
I stay stick with it! I have a friend that even continued spinning up until her ninth month of pregnancy. She was in such great shape!! Good luck!

Well, I was with you until you asked about losing weight. I have done spinning, but I never lost weight. (My spinning was spinning yarn on a drop spindle! HA HA)

I took a spinning clas a few years ago and LOVED it! At the time I wasn't eating healthy so I didn't see any weight loss results (plus I didn't take the class long enough, maybe just 2 sessions) but did start to tone up. My girlfriend tho, who stuck with it lost 100 pounds doing that along w/weight watchers. Gee, I should resign up cause that's what I'm doing now! LOL! Anyhow, she still takes the class and is keeping the weight off. It was REALLY hard at first but stick w/it and you'll get use to it. I bought a special pad for the seat to make it more comfy on the butt! lol! You can buy them at Walmart or Target in the kids bike section. I found that helped with the sorness on the backside. My instructor recommended it. She did also recommend the shoes too but I never did go buy them because I didn't stick w/it long enough.

I have no idea what spinning even is =|
