You say this, but throwing some of those shapes on an FNRttC gets you the Eyebrow of Disapproval...

They get your legs going even if it's snowing / monsoonal outside.
They let you find out how much discomfort you can tolerate for an hour in a controlled environment.
I don't enjoy spinning at all, but I did two sessions a week for ten weeks before I did Ventoux. That, riding 100 miles a week and losing 10 kg got me up without losing the will to live once I'd passed Chalet reynard...

Gaz - how on Earth did you come across that vid, in the first place?!

And for those who diss spinning... I think you should try it. You might change your mind

It left me with an unfortunate tendency to sing 'Wonderwall' while climbing.
And a liking for Faithless and Scooter. Not sure which of these things is worse...

Sounds like your Instructor was taking the p*ss, with their selection of music!

I tried a spinning class once, thought I was going to die.

I can't believe I watched 4 minutes of that

Yes, the first cpl of lessons is like Hell. Then is becomes bearable, and then fun! I would encourage anybody to give it a go a few times, if you are able I really miss spinning but had to quit the gym (too expensive).

I've tried spinning a couple of times but just don't like it, same with yoga. It's taught me that a fixed bike is not for me

 

[Archie_tect]

Our sports centre doesn't do spinning... you're lucky if they can find a badminton net....

I enjoy spinning and have a class every thur morn at the gym. Agree with Ant if you have not tried it it is really worth a go.
