I am a runner. I don't tend to stray from running because in my small mind i think it's the best way to work out. I use to think there was no better endorphin rush then that. Then i had a baby without drugs, now thats the BEST endorphin rush ever.
I am training for a 10 mile and a half marathon, so i have been running so much, i'm getting VERY board. So two nights ago i decided i would give spinning a go. It was unbelievable, probably the best work out i have ever had. Not only are your legs burning, but its FUN. I was sweating more then i ever have running and the intervals were killer. Don't get me wrong, i love running, but if you ever want to switch it up and burn more calories then anything else, try a spinning class.
I know this sounds gross, but literally i dripping sweat. My tank was wet. I was shocked. Since i liked how i felt two nights ago, i gave it a go again this morning. Different instructor and different workout, but the burn was awesome! We went up hill, down hill, fast with a lot tension and then slow with a LOT of tension. IT WAS AWESOME! Best part is i am gaining even more endurance for my runs. Maybe i'll try a triathlon next:)
I'm not going to get ahead of myself:)

I'm glad you've found another fun workout for you! For me...not so much. I LOATHE spin class. I've tried at least 4 times and I think that's a fair shake. Not ever, ever going back!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome for x-training!!! I bet you see your time shaved down on your runs!! I want to try it too!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah i hear it's a hate/love kind of workout:)
ReplyDeleteI tried spin once and my butt was sore for days....other than that I thought it was great! :) Apparently not great enough to give it another try though!
