90 Minutes of Spin Class: Are You Insane?

20140724-131423-47663560.jpg

Yesterday was another 90 minutes of spin and I loved it!  Well, I kind of hated it because spin will do that to you, but I overall, I loved it.  I look slavishly each week for any 75 or 90 minute class offered.  My max was a series of 2 hour classes this past Winter.  I'm twisted like that.

If you've never done spin at all, let alone 2 hours of it, my biggest piece of advice is DON'T BE INTIMIDATED.  I tried spin 10 years ago and hated it (just regular hate on that one) and vowed never to do it again.  Then, last December, a random discussion with a woman in the gym locker room (thank you tall, athletic girl whoever you are!) encouraged me to try it out again.  My fitness journey had begun, so why not try spin one mo' gin?  The rest is history.  I'm now a full-fledged spin rat ( I think I just made that up - copyright/trademark me!).

What do you need to know before you troop into that dark smelly room in your gym?  No, the one with the bikes.

Throwback Thursday - Tea in Kensington

In May, I went back to London for the second time in my life and fell in love again with the city. My friend Lisa and I had tea at The Orangery in Kensington Gardens. Lovely afternoon, atmosphere and company!

New Digs!

New Website 07-24-14 I've updated the website and moved it to a new platform.  I got a wild hair I guess.  You can still see the old posts at http://fitempress.tumblr.com/ and I'm sure I'll still "tumblr" from time to time. 

More updates to come - and more frequently too!

Making Changes!
