Oh Sweet and Blessed Spin Class

So I head out to spin class tonight. Just an FYI. Everyone says that spin is so great and such a good work out, and I've been a few times and said to myself. "Meh. Whateves. It was alright, but it wasn't that hard."

Um, I stand corrected. Because tonight was another story. I mean, I was sweating like a dog and working really hard, and at one point the instructor said, "Just go as hard as you can. You can rest when you get home." And so that is what I had to keep telling myself the ENTIRE time. "Go hard. You can rest later. You can rest later. You can rest later." And I was, indeed going as hard and as fast as I could.

So I guess it depends on a few things. One, I think I had the tension thing figured out on my bike, and I was cranking it up high enough to get a work out. But I also think it depends on the instructor, and this particular instructor, he was legit. For real, you guys. He was legit.
