Re: Has anyone done a spin class?

Spinning rocks.  It's a great workout, and - like Sofa said - a lot more
fun than you'd think.  It's a great way to keep, or even build, fitness
in the off-season.  It fits into your day better than most things,
doesn't trash your knees like running, and because it's fun it's easier
to get motivated to go.

Working out for its' own sake, or to get fit for other things, isn't for
everybody.  It tends to have more appeal when the gap between what you
can do when you're in shape and when you're not becomes more apparent -
this can be with age or in competition.  Nothing like watching your
buddy (that you used to be faster than) start running or working out and
suddenly start kicking your ass!  Also, it appeals more when your life
gets to a point where you don't get enough exercise as a matter of
course...

I did a lot of spinning a couple of winters ago and I came into the
spring really strong.  It's tough to get regular exercise outside here
in winter - I ski weekends but that's not great for cardio.  Spinning
fills in the gaps nicely.

Anyway, if it sounds like it fits your profile I heartily recommend
giving it a try -
