Spinning?

Has anyone ever done a spinning class?
I am thinking of joining the spinning class that is offered here to help get me back into a shape after a very sedentary year.

How challenging is it? The class description says that it is "individually paced", but right now I am not even fit enough to run 20 straight minutes - will it be doable?

And most importantly, is it fun??

oh god annie I tried it. If you have good knees it'd be an awesome workout. unfortunately for me I don't and mine locked up in the up-down-up-down bits and I had to leave the class. damned arthritis.

Oh, well it's all just free through school so I am going to give it a whirl (pun intended) this evening. There is another leader on some nights so I'll even give it two tries before giving up.

I need to find something intense enough to replace running if my shin splints don't get better.
Thanks for the input!

Verdict: spinning is ok. I mean, it's not SUPER fun, cause you're sweating on a bike, but it's a lot better than working out for an hour at the gym.

Also, I think I need shorts with a bum pad, because after about 45-50 minutes everything started getting a little numb. I don't know how the men do it.

I can barely sit this morning. My poor bruised seat bones!

Re not stopping: The bikes at the school gym have a little panic button that stops the bike. Really it's just the resistance nob, which if you push, increases the resistance high so you can't pedal.

i learned that the hard way, nearly busted my knee because the instructor didnt tell me this.

i think spinning is pure evil. its worse than swimming the 1500 m, and that one is just evil evil evil.

You just bike like a crazy person and sometimes you have to standup. The instroctor sets the pace and resistance and shouts motivational slogans at you while you bike to music. The instructor last night had a pretty decent mix of songs. Her son made it for her class! hee hee
