SPINNERS!!!

[FluffyRed]

I did a spinning style workout on a regular stationary bike yesterday.

I can't deal with an actual spinning bike, as the seat has wrought too much havoc on my chocha in the past!!! :giggle:

I varied intensity and speed and resistance and really shredded my quads. Also the very top of my calf muscles were targeted and feel like I am going to be sore later today.

Two questions:

1 - are the hamstrings not involved a lot in spinning? because they are not sore

2 - where should I be feeling it, aside from the quads

3 - any other input you have for a beginning "spinner"

I luv spinning :yep:
No, your hamstrings aren't involved. I never have sore hamstrings.
Sometimes I feel it in my calves but not too much.
For a beginning spinner, be sure to incorporate other exercises/weight training to balance out the fact that you are working primarily on your quads, unless you are going for the big-legged look that bikers tend to get :look:

I love spinning. I can't fit it in my schedule though :(

LOL.. I saw this and I thought well I guess spinners need exercise too.. Whew, let me get my mind out the gutter?
