I can do more on the spinning bike than I can on the trainer at home as I just do not feel confident with standing on my trainer. So I go when I can outside of class and do my own thing. It works, and I need to do more of that this winter if the current weather trend continues.
Is there a spin bike in the main part of the gym, where the other cardio machines are? The only time I can consistently get to the gym is during a time where there aren't any spin classes. I've got the Every Woman's Guide to Cycling book (Selene Yeager), and she's got some spin workouts in there that I can do on my own. I put on my own music and go.
