spin cycle

Yesterday:
"Light" strength training workout (1 hr)
Spin class (1 hr)
Bike to/fro gym

Most of the time, I go to the gym in the mornings, so I forget how much I enjoy some of the available evening classes. The spinning class last night was killer - I think the instructor cycles competitively and put us through a typical training workout. I like it because it is all intervals, which is the best way of improving overall cardiovascular capacity . I was probably at something like 90% of max heart rate, then recovery, then back up again. I felt really good after the workout last night. The evenings are also nice because I can just take my time and not worry about getting home to shower and change before work. Too bad the gym is so busy in the evening.
