Is anyone here into spinning?
I'm almost 69 and was an avid runner for almost 40 years. One day about 2 1/2 years ago I was out for my morning run and just stopped in the middle of it, said "screw it - I don't like running anymore" and haven't run a step since. In looking for an alternative aerobic exercise I tried spinning and now am doing it 3x per week most weeks. It's a butt-kicking workout (at least for me) and I think it does more for me than running did. I supplement it with other exercise on the days I don't spin.
I found that the majority of my "classmates" in spinning classes are female as are the majority of instructors; I'm not sure why spinning doesn't appeal to guys as much.
In any event, based on my experience, I heartily recommend spinning as a challenging workout sure to help you work up a sweat and get you to a high heart rate.
