AMEN!!

Last Thursday Ive never sweated so much in my life as I did in my spinning class - I also forgot my gel seat cover - OWCH!!

Please spare a moment to think of two of my colleagues who went on a spinning course to become instructors this weekend - 2 whole days of it!!

It was evil and all I could do yesterday was to lay in the garden and replenish the fluids I had lost  :wink:

Seriously though I have ached before (during pre-season training etc) but this is at a different level.

Yup on both counts. Although on the upside I can get up from my desk without risking collapse. Personally, I find exercise interferes with my smoking, so had to give it up (the exercise, obviously)

It's too hot for Exercise at the moment.

I went for a 5 mile run at 10am yesterday and lost 5 lbs in sweat. (I know this because I did a before and after weigh in!)

what is spinning?


It's a form of torture involving a room full of young sorts in tight lycra, loud music, flashing lights, some loon up the front screaming, and a red faced, shagged out Fred on the exercise bike at the back "to get the best view".

Sometimes whilst I'm doing my 5k on the treadmill a class is going on in the sound proofed spinning room off the CV room at my gym. It would be funny to watch anyway, but when you can't hear the music, and the bird at the front is screaming silently, it looks really quite odd.

Its basically excercise bikes that you can adjust the resistance on - you do a class with an instructor who does different work outs - hill climbs, sprints etc etc on the bike - If you have a good instructor it can be brill but very tiiring

My instructor Colin always adds some upper body stuff too

I think the crappy name for it is more evil than the activity itself.

They'll invent a new name for running soon to make it seem that bit better.

 You were lucky to get out alive Ralphus....respect for the pedalling, ideal conditions at the weekend.  I cast an eye at my velo yesterday...needs a bit of TLC, I really must make the effort.

 There's some great cycling around the Cotswolds...I used to do a route from Swindon to Stratford. More or less all on quiet country lanes, once you got out to Stanton Fitzwarren....quite direct as well

Swindon to Stratford hey? Via Chipping Norton on the A361 ? Or did you go through Stow and Moreton in the Marsh direction?

 No you keep right off A roads, only a bit leaving Swindon, until entering Stratford.

 Stanton Fitzwarren...Hannington ..Kempsford....Whelford....Fairford.....Coln St Aldwyns.....Aldsworth cross A40 for Clapton on the Hill.   Roll on down to Bourton on the Water.  Then through the Slaughters to the Swells....Longborough....Sezincote....Blockley...Paxford.....Ilmington....Preston and Atherstone on Stour.....then some A34 shit, unavoidable.   Jobs a good un.

  You should get a bike...cycling tones up all sorts of parts of the anatomy....plus releases all sorts of endorphins, which you can counteract by going in pubs.
