Today I'm linking up with Melissa for:
to talk about our favorite fitness activity. For me, that's easy - spinning. Spinning is riding an exercise bike, but you change the tension from being on a flat road to climbing a steep hill; you stand and sit; you sprint; .... It's a very challenging workout, and supposedly, you burn at least 500 calories during a 45 minute workout. Here's another advantage - the spinning room is dark so no one can see you while you're working out which is a HUGE plus as far as I'm concerned.
I go spinning 4 times a week. Each instructor has different routines and different music. The music does make a HUGE difference. In spinning class, they've been playing that Timber song by Kesha and Pitbull for weeks. Not only do I get an amazing workout, I know my music, too.
I've been spinning for four and a half years. A few years ago, I bought the spinning shoes that clip on to the pedals. Plus, I now have an assortment of workout clothes. I even have 2 hand-me-down Lululemon tops - thanks to my friend, Kathy.
To supplement my spinning, I also make sure to do abdominal work 4 days a week, too. I doubt that I'll ever have a flat stomach again, but there are muscles in there.
If you want to sweat a lot, listen to good music and burn calories all at the same time, spinning is definitely worth trying out.

she recommends Zumba which I have tried. Zumba was a truly humbling experience for me because I felt like I had two left feet, and I couldn't keep up. It made me realize how some of my students must feel when the work is difficult for them.
Enjoy that exercise!

I have used the exercise bikes at the gym, but I've never tried a spinning class. That could be a lot of fun! I'm with you on never having a flat stomach again, but it is still important to work those muscles. So glad you came to link up with me again!
