New Discovery

This week I have discovered my new favorite form of exercise....Spin Class!!! I used to think that it would be something I could never enjoy, but on Monday I gave it a shot and loved it!! Mandy, Curtis and I started our holiday out with a 70 min. intense workout. I was nervous that I would die and not keep up, but I actually really enjoyed it. There is something about loud music, sweat dripping off your face, and a room full of people that really gets you pumpin! I was extremely saddle sore the next day and sore in a few other areas, but I decided to go again today and found that it is my exercise of choice these days. The great thing is that our house came with a gym membership and all I pay is for the child care...which my kids have come to really enjoy! I was really nervous that Boston would hate it, but after a couple days he got used to it and now every time I go get them, they are both happily playing. Group classes are definitely more productive for me. I just dont seem as motivated when I go and try to work out on my own:( It's been nice to have the hour in the morning to myself knowing that my kids are entertained and taken care of. I highly recommend trying out a class if you havent....or maybe I'm the last to jump on this bandwagon and you all just failed to fill me in!!! P.S. Curtis was a little disappointed that no one commented on how cool his new bike is, so humor me and go back and post a comment about it....but don't tell him I told ya to!:)

Go you! Yeah, I went walking with the ladies from church once. I could hardly keep up and got a blister on the back of my foot from my stupid shoe! I really need to go back though. The trick is to find the workout that you like and that you'll do. So good for you! Now it's my turn...

Way to go! That is an intense class. I tried it once in Cedar and it about killed me, so I know how hard it is! I was so sore the next day and I never did it again. I guess I'm just a wimp, I'll just try to stick to running.

I LOVE SPINNING CLASS TOO!! I discovered it just a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant with Emma and lost 7 lbs. my first two weeks. Pregnancy complications put a quick end to the classes for me, but I am counting down the days until I can go back to the gym and start again!! I am so jealous that you get to go right now and become a sexy Mama before I do! I am excited for you, though, because I loved it!!!!

I Love Spinning!! I am totally hooked, It was the best way for me to lose the baby weight! I would love to eventually own a spin bike, or be an intructer, sometimes it's hard to find a good one, or one that plays music that's motivating. Good for you guys!
