Spin? Good idea or not?

[Dwarvenmonkey]

I'm looking to add some cardio to my workouts in a bid to finally whip myself into shape! (Youngest is 6 so I cant keep blaming him ) I dance twice a week (street) but am I thinking of adding two 30 min spin classes a week as well.

I did try running but my knees hated it! I have done a spin class before and hated it but am thinking that I can stand a 30 minute session. So any advice? Does anyone spin and grown to love it?

I'm out of the habit now but when I was on a mission before my wedding spinning was amazing. I liked the way it's 30 minutes of solid work and your all done. After a few sessions you feel great!

Oh god, I'd forgotten the sore bum thing! Thank god I've got some padding

I'm a tad nervous about trying it again, is there any way to ease into it gently?

There really isn't, grab the bull by the horns and go for it. Get there early so you can get a seat at the back, that's what I do, I'm not fond of wiggling my fat arse about in front of others ha ha
