Spinning (aka torture)

so instead of doing normal P.E in TY we go to places and try out new sports that we might never have done before. loads of people were so excited for spinning and i couldn't understand this cause i'd seen it on TV before. it did not look like fun.

so when we arrived at the mill i was not impressed because of the walk/climb to get to the gym. there were 5 flights of stairs so i was hoping that was it, the warm up finished. nope, i was wrong. 

we finally got up and there was these 2 extremely fit looking guy and girl. we got straight into it, no messing around. the woman who had insane muscles took 15 girls to do the bikes while the rest of us were stuck with this guy who made us run and run and run.

we were doing lots of strengthening to our muscles as well. we all quickly discovered that i was right, spinning was horrible.

i didn't think it could get much worse until it was my groups turn to do the bikes. i can honestly say that i have never sweated so much in my life. it was disgusting.

Mr Lawlor the PE teacher said we would feel great when we finished. he was wrong, i felt sweaty and smelly and tired. i couldn't wait for a shower.

So we had to do another 2 weeks of spinning for PE but thankfully i was injured for the second and absent for the third. i would not recommend spinning unless you wanted to loose loads of weight.
