I love it so much I got certified to teach it. The beauty of spin is that it's a solo activity; you alone control your resistance, so no one can tell how hard you're working which means you can and should take it at your own pace. Be sure to tell the instructor you're new though, they'll teach you proper bike setup, and go through the basic hand positions.Kimhttp://www.thekimchallenge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046392403089846767.post-61232426148548184592010-12-08T15:19:30.544-05:002010-12-08T15:19:30.544-05:00Yeah, I love the stairmill!

It adds great variety into a week or workouts!! Mmm tomato soup- one of my favs. I've been enjoying it a LOT recently. Whenever I see it out at restaurants, I have to get it. Josh isn't a tomato soup fan...so its hard to make it at home unless I freeze most of it to eat later.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16761350918719977604noreply@blogger.com
