I spin 3 - 4 times a week at the gym. The best thing about is it's your ride. You decide how much tension goes on that knob and your cadence. I encourage all the new women at my gym to try it because you don't have to be super coordinated like for Step or kick boxing.

I also work out at home with my mountain bike in a trainer to Spinerval tapes. I really like those too. For me it's a different focus with the tapes - I spend more time thinking about technique. Spin class is all about heart rate for me anyway.

Good luck and go spin!
