I have personally seen persons who have dropped tons of weight doing spin classes. My concern is would I be able to keep up even with a beginner class if I have been out of fitness activities for a while. Seems pretty intense.
ReplyDeleteI love spin, wish I can do it, but I have a back injury might be too stressful for me
