"Tough Love"-Asking for more Punishment

No, it's not a weird title...That was what "Spin" Class was like tonight. It's been a week since I last went to the gym and four months since I've done the Cycling aka "Spin" Class. So tonight, I thought, why not? The instructor is the best one yet, he pushes you harder and harder. Of course, this is Level 3 (Advanced)...I think he mentioned that he does the Tour de France and other races as well. The point of this blog was that he called it "Tough Love" because he pushed everyone until your legs were ready to fall off. It's a 55minute spin class and I was ready to pass out. I was actually sweating and for those that know me, it takes a lot for me to sweat. Next week's class is apparently 90 minutes, I don't think I can do it. Everyone was more experienced and do these classes regularly. Me? I'm the newbie. I can cycle through the class w/o stopping but increasing hte tension to 80% or higher, then decreasing it, etc...it's hard. At least he plays good, upbeat music. When I got off the bike, I was ready to fall to my knees. I don't think I can take "Tough Love" part two...Gotta take a break. I'll try to get back into my routing w/ cycling though. I do enjoy it.
