Spinning classes

[nursemeg89 185]

I just wanted to share my love for spinning classes and see if anyone else here is also a fan?! I was sleeved on November 19th 2012 and just recently got my fitness and exercise regimen going! I go to spinning classes about 3 times a week at the gym I joined and I LOVE THEM. I come out exhausted, drenched in sweat, and feeling SO ACCOMPLISHED! I love the music and the fun during the classes, we even have special days when a live DJ spins music during classes! I've lost about 70 pounds since I started my pre-op diet November 4th, 2012. Highest weight was 296 and current weight 226. Goal weight- 150, I'm hoping spinning helps me meet that goal!!!!

Congrats on you weight loss and new exercise regime... I have tried spinning and absolutely hate it!! I would rather jump thru flaming hoops than do it again...

I am right with you. I love spinning and do classes 2-3x a week. However, I did spinning classes for years prior to being sleeved. Spinning was much more difficult and a struggle pre-sleeve when I was 260-270lbs. Great for burning calories. I also recommend weight training, kettlebell and medicine ball classes to build muscle, to tone and burn even more calories along with yoga and roller recovery. The combination of it all is AWESOME. I've lost 98lbs since sleeved on 1/17/12 and it all helps to tighten and tone up. My once overly plump skin is a bit loose after the weight loss and I can tell already I've toned up quite a bit.

I totally get it though, about the spinning. The endorphin rush and sense of accomplishment (even though you've stayed in one spot pushing and sweating your heart out) in an hour is the BEST!

You are doing GREAT! Keep up the good work.
