Hi Andrea,
Don't worry. Spinning is on a static mountain bike to music with an instructor in-front of you. I love it last nights session was tough as we have all been going a while so the instructor really pushes us.
Hope to get out a run tomorrow?????

Well spin this week got even harder, we were on week 5 of a 5 week cycle and wow did it hurt. After Mondays session came away feeling sick had worked that hard and after last nights session i am really stiff this morning. But really worth it.
Will try and get out a run later when OH comes back from work.

Hi Well had a week off work and a week away from the computer so last weeks training was as follows.
Monday Spin – week 6 – really pushed it hard as i knew the instructor was off this week.
Wednesday Spin – same as Monday
Thursday Spin – wow my thighs are tight, instructors last session for a week so she really made us work.
Saturday – Run/Walk 30 mins and Swim
Monday (17th August) Back to work and because the spin instructor was on holiday i still went to gym and raced the machine instead.

Spin again last night and going again tonight. Felt sluggish last night, not in a proper routine will the boys are off from school, yesterday because of the bad weather after work we just all sat and watched a DVD, which did not help then when i had to get up to go the Gym, never mind, i love having my boys round me.

Joanne, sometimes it's good just to relax with the family – must admit though, looking forward to getting some routine back!

Well spin was hard last night, there was 3 new ladies and i don't think they new what they had let themselves in for. One went to the toilet half way through and was ages coming back ( i think she was just having a rest in there) and the other 2 just keep-ed saying not sure how to use the gears on the bike, when the instructor had fully explained at the beginning and it is all just trial and error anyway with the spin bikes, but she really made us work hard, my thighs are stiff this morning.
Well bank holiday weekend hopefully off to the seaside.
Can't believe the kids only have one week and 2 days left before they go back to school. Will miss not having them around, house will be really quiet.

Sounds like hard work Joanne – think I might have hidden in the toilets as well!
Enjoy the seaside. (not that we've needed sunglasses down south recently)!

Thanks Carol, Well i hope the sun came out for you as we had a lovely day, spent all day on the beach playing football, and having running races and then of course a paddle in the sea. Finished off by fish and chips on the sea front.
Back to spin tomorrow.

Sounds lovely Joanne. We did have some sunshine – had a very warm, 2 mile run yesterday afternoon and the sun is out again today. Love the summer as we head towards Autumn, everything seems so much fresher.
Have a good spin tomorrow!

Wow don't know where the end of September has gone, had to have a week off from spin because we had loads of open evenings for eldest going to senior school. Then the Windsor Half Marathon and Running4Women Windsor 8k at the weekend so busy busy busy.
Back to normal this week have managed spin Monday and Wednesday and will fit a run in somewhere over the weekend inbetween youngest football.
Have a good weekend everyone.
