spinning

Saturday, February 23, 2008

Hi everybody.
As promised here's my report on spinning. Today they had the beginner class for spinning which is called"training wheels". They asked us to bring a towel and a water bottle. The instructor showed us how to set the bikes. How to get on, put the emergency brake, set the resistance etc. The last 10 minutes, we got a taste of how an actual class would be. I will tell you just those ten min. had me sweating. And thanks Madhu for advising me to use the gel seat cover. The instuctor told us that in a 45 min. class we can burn atleast 400 calories.
So altogether it was not bad. I will definately try an actual class,even if in the beginning I only last 15 minutes.

Belly Dance

Friday, February 08, 2008

Yesterday, I wanted to try something else than my usual routine (treadmill and elliptical) . Luckily when I got to the gym, they were about to start the belly dancing class. I thought why not try this . I've always enjoyed watching it. All you have to do is shake your belly and behind.
The class was pretty full. which shows that a lot of people would like to learn this art. It was a lot of fun. We learned snake arms,twist,the walk. The most fun was shimmy. I t's like you are having a seizure.
I would definately recommend it.
Next experiment will be spinning class. Sounds easy .
I will let you know how it went.
