Finished my first spinning class in a year at LA Fitness today. I quit when I joined a YMCA that was closer a year ago and was just awful-the bikes were horrible and group of chatty cathy women in the class who talked/gossiped the entire class really kept you from getting a decent workout as it was hard to even break a sweat in that class (hence I gave up on it after 2 classes).
A year later, I came back and put in 45 minutes of spinning to the tune of 840 calories in 45 minutes. Not too shabby. All I've had for food intake as of 7:30pm tonight is a big bake potato w/ spray butter/light sour cream and coffee.
