Spinning … again
I am totally hooked. This really is the best workout for me - I get too easily bored by working out alone at the gym or outside, but I am not coordinated enought for any fancy step aerobics, tae bo or jazzercize-schmazzercize type of classes. Spinning, however, does not require any sort of coordination, as long as you can manage not to fall off the bike (or fly off, for that matter, during the speeding intervals). Yet, the two intsructors that I go to are so challenging and I feel extremely bad if I dare to even think to not follow what they say, especially since there are 20 other people around me busting their bums off (quite literally!). The bikes are also totally cool, not just plain old stationary bikes. You really feel like you are on steep hill when you pump up the resistance.
And the whole ride is to the beat of some amazing music. Amy (the instructor on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday) has this Euro haus and trance CD and I just close my eyes and completely shed off any stress, while biking uphill at a high speed. Tom (the guy for the rest of the week) had a CD with these old heavy metal and hard rock songs (think “Seek and Destroy” here), and they are awesome in their own way because I never really listen to that type of music, but it is so appropriate for the gruelling activity.
I am in a better mood, my headache is gone. I feel terrific for the 50 minutes and then for hours afterwards. I think I might be getting addicted to my own adrenaline 
If you care to try it, East Coast is givinig away free trial coupons for a week’s gym membership, so you should not even think twice. I promise you it will be the best thing!
