Like tulip when I ride indoors it's in one of my gym's spin classes. They are a blast! The instructors always have some great tunes playing on their ipods. They just plug their ipods into the gym's sound system in the spin room and off we go! Many times, to mix things up, our instructors will divide the class in half and we "compete" against each other. But when the side that's doing intervals or sprints is going all out the other half has to cheer them on! The instructors claim it helps to build up the lungs! LOL The hour and sometimes extra minutes (20 - 30 sometimes) zoom by quickly! I come out dripping wet wondering where the time went!

Before I joined the spin classes at my gym this winter I had been using my at home trainer but like NoNo I was bored after 10 minutes. I guess I need the "crowd" to keep me motivated. So far it's working and I've noticed on my outdoor rides on the weekends that my legs feel strong and powerful. I think it's safe to say that I owe this to my spin classes that I've been taking since late October four times a weekday!
