Spinning highs

Well, I've just discovered a new fun but exhausting passion. Went to my first spinning class the other night. All the pros knew I was a newbie because i spent at least 10 minutes learning to adjust my pedals and seat to match my long frame. Also by my lack of a towel to mop up the sweat so I pespired all over the handle bars. Eeeeuw! But what fun. Pumping music. A loud, demanding coach who exhorts you to up and down the resistance level. Sometimes you have to stand on the pedals, other times hover just over the seat, then get into a racing position and move your legs as fast as you possibly can. No way in hell I'd put this much effort into my exercise without the peer pressure, thumping music and screaming coach. Plus it's fun to look accross at your fellow spinners and see you're not the only one suffering. Gives you a great sense of comraderie. And when you get off the bike after 45 minutes of go,go,go the endorphins keep you on a high for hours. Needles to say, I'm off for another dose tonight.
