I tried to make a video like Karl and Zappoman, but couldn’t get it to work. So, you’ll have to settle for a picture of the bike. No spin class demos.
A spin bike was given to me when Bellevue Place Club began replacing their spinning bikes about a year ago. I bought new wheels that have clips for my bike shoes. One of my friends tuned up the bike, so now it’s in great shape.
Now I have an awesome spinning bike in my rec-room. I am a certified cycling instructor. I have CD’s that I burned for the spin class. I have a remote control right next to me, so that I can watch CSI or The News or Entertainment Tonight! I have no excuses!
My schedule became crazy last June with my daughter’s dance classes and volleyball. Subsequently, I gave up teaching spin class. I occasionally substitute. I’ve noticed that since I quit teaching regularly, I have gotten out of cycling shape.
Last week I rode for 50 minutes and it was hard. I was pushing a high heart, but I definitely feel that I need to put in some time before The 7 Hills Ride.
I wish I had a bike like that!
I did a spin video tonight in the garage on the trainer, but I just can’t get the same level of resistance as you can on one of those spin bikes.
It is pretty cool! As clubs replace their bikes, they sell off their older equipment. Gold’s Gym sometimes has these sales. I’ve bought equipment from them in the past.
You are hot, and I’m not talking about the sweat you are getting on!
My brand new spin bike is being delivered today. Can anyone recommend a cd spin bike class for beginners just to get me started? I’ve got a collection of virtual bike trips all over the world, but, I’d like to have a basic how-to cd. Knowing how to adjust the bike for my height, etc, how to build up my workouts, would be good to know. Help! nana
