spinning

I absolutely, positively, do not understand why the instructor in my spinning class insists we keep our RPMs in the 60-65 range.  How is it a spinning class if you plod around?

I usually ignore her and just spin at 90-100.  

Plus, every time she's like "here comes a hill" and expects us to stand.  pshaw, spin up the hill baby, spin spin spin.

In other news, spinning and circuit class (with some swimming when I'm able) and a focus on eating right lost me 7 pounds in October.  Not quite as much as I'd like, but totally do-able.  I'd like to think that all the weights in circuit may have put a little muscle on too.


Other than that, the bike is upstairs for the winter.  Here's hoping for a short winter and an early spring (not like 2008).

Spinning class at 65 RPM?????? Sounds more like a mashing class to me. You're right, spin away!
My last ride I was on my Giant DF bike and my high cadence was 128. Yup, going up a steep little hill!
