Be sure to show up to your first class early so the instructor can help you with the right bike settings since you're so tall. It totally makes a difference if your seat, handles, etc. are in the right place. Good luck!AWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986686154178900815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593189488740921867.post-56674977033335535592010-06-22T20:10:01.631-04:002010-06-22T20:10:01.631-04:00Hahaha!

I totally can't run at all, but love spin since its low impact, and you decide how hard to push yourself with the bikes resistance, who knows, it might inspire you to bike on the west side highway like I did last weekend- it was so much fun I forgot I was working out!terrinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593189488740921867.post-48682678730068656102010-06-21T20:33:48.306-04:002010-06-21T20:33:48.306-04:00Terrin -- I ran on the sand a few weeks ago and it...Terrin -- I ran on the sand a few weeks ago and it was great, but with the risk of sounding wimpy, I really did strain something in my knee again. I really have to do low impact cadio exercises. I have always wanted to do a spin class. Perhaps I should check it out! My old girlfriend was a spin instructor (back when I was defiantly big), and I never took her class. Maybe I should look into it. I think my fear is not excelling, and keeping pace with it all -- I don't want to be that loser who is struggling in the back of a class. My ego and all. But, I was thinking about it recently. Geez, terrin, between your suggestion of peanut butter in my oatmeal and the glaringly obvious spin class, I'll have to give you an "assist" on my vegan quest.Terrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926625144781022309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593189488740921867.post-15195406777114242732010-06-21T20:23:32.612-04:002010-06-21T20:23:32.612-04:00Ahhh, weekends are always rough!!

I know you're done with your trainer, have you tried spin classes before? They prob have a lunchtime class and its the most intense calorie torching toning class ever- really high energy and goes by quickly! And girlscout cookies?? Omg, no one could turn those down!!!
