My First Cycle Bar Experience

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a delightful weekend. My weekend consisted of getting my first blow out of the fall season, catching up on my shows, making a delicious batch of Swedish meatballs (super easy and in my crockpot) and that's about it. So basically I did nothing productive but hey, at least I'm fully rested for the work week?



Last week, I was invited to take an indoor cycling class and I said why not. So on Tuesday, I took my first indoor cycling class at the Cyclebar - North Hills and let me tell you. In the first 10 minutes (it's only a 45 minute class). I was ready to QUIT. I was breathing heavy and the sweat. I had surpassed the beading forehead sweat stage and jumped straight to dripping and that's not an exaggeration. Then we slowed down and the instructor said "that was a great warm -up". Y'all, I was ready to get off the bike and walk out the class but it was fixed so that I was directly in the middle and every bike around me had someone in it. So I was basically forced to finish the class.



Let me tell you, I am so glad that I stuck it out. I now know why people participate in indoor cycling. After the class, I felt amazing, My body was relaxed and I felt like I was on an endorphin high. That was the best work out that I had had in I don't know how long. It worked every part of my body...legs, core, cardio, and arms. Everything. Don't worry, I definitely treated myself to a large pizza afterwards because what else are you suppose to do after you biked 8 miles? Exactly.



I guess you're wondering if I'll be returning or if I would suggest it to other people? The answer is yes. Because I hate working out and I have been hooked since I went the first time. It's not the type of gym where you feel intimidated (but I will admit I was intimidated by how fast some of the people could bike when I could barely breathe). Everyone was so encouraging when they found out that it was my first class. It's obviously not a competition and it's a great place to work out - especially if you're like me and you hate working out.


Until next time,


Danielle
