Looking for indoor spinning classes in the Chicago burbs.. Not having much luck...

I don't think I have EVER seen a gym spin class in that time frame. Good luck!

Yeah; me either.....and I've spent a fair amount of time pouring over gym schedules in my time. Most gyms offer morning and evening workouts for a reason.

But I'm tempted to kick you in the pants on this one. I know it's hard to motivate to go back out for a workout once you get home, but that's just a question of motivation--and that you can overcome. It sounds as if you, in the very least, have the luxury of getting to the gym early to secure a bike. I don't want to make light of motivation problems; I know how hard it can be, but it does bring to mind something another TEer said once that I try to keep in mind for myself: If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse. The alternative is to attend some weekend spin classes.

Good luck!

HA!.. You hit the nail on the head!.. And your COMPLETELY correct.. My motivation SUUUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.... And I know that if I go STRAIGHT to the gym without passing GO... lol.. I will go... But once I hit home.. forget it.. Horrible.. I know..

So yes.. Your right.. It is my motivation that needs to be worked on!!!!!.. A kick in the pants is just what I need!.. lol..

Glad you took that in a positive way. I was afraid I might have offended!

[Inocense]

Not in the least!!!

Now.. I want to get some Spinning DVD's.. I should probably ask this question in another area of the forums but what do you girls think?.. Can you recommend anything?

I have several from this line. I can't remember all the titles that I have off the top of my head because I've been running more this winter and not spinning, but I can look if that would help. They're decent, although the music kind of sucks. Frankly, I've been to so many spin classes over the years that I sometimes just put together my own workout. I'll turn Pandora on with my iPhone and go with the beat of whatever music comes up and do whatever the spirit moves me to do. So long as my heartrate gets up and I mix it up a bit, I feel like I've accomplished something.

Check out the Sufferfest workouts at thesufferfest.com. Grueling, and I like them more than any "Coach Clipboard" DVDs I've done.
