Spin Me Right Round

You guessed it, spinning today! Woke nice and early this Saturday morning to get in a good bi's, tri's, and abs workout prior to the 9am spin class. I've been hitting up this class every Saturday for the past few weeks as I've found it to be the best spin class so far. Extremely motivating music (good loud beats) and lots of pressure to keep up the pace and sweat out all those toxins that have accumulated over the week (or that you drank the night before, oops!). I think I may have to buy a spin membership again because even doing it just once per week is pricier than a month's membership fee. My only complaint is that there is a serious lack of air circulation in the spin room and today's muggy, hot temperatures were not helping things. As a result, I definitely did not reach as high a gear setting as I usually do!

For weights today I did one of my typical bi/tri routines. This past week's gym workouts have been lacking as two days were forfeited for trips to Boston (to purchase a sweet new ride!) and Monday was the first of my previously postponed tennis lessons. Tennis by the way was really fun and to my delight I didn't suck as bad as I recalled! Here's a breakdown of today's routine:

Bi's/Tri's:
1. 3 sets of 8 bicep curls standing on the bosu
2. 3 sets of 8 weighted tricep bench dips with feet on a stability ball
3. 3 sets of 8 hammer curls standing on the bosu
4. 3 sets of 8 (each arm) tricep kickbacks

Abs:
1. 4 sets of 12 "air crunches". So happy my ankle is not hurting me anymore so I can get back into these and other incline crunches!
2. 4 sets of 8 leg lifts. 2 sets forward and 2 sets side-to-side. The first two sets were hanging and the last two stationary because the hanging loops seriously reak of people's sweat and there's only so much I can take of smelling that!

Dear World's Gym: Please please please replace those nasty loops!!!

3. 2 sets of 12 incline crunches, one front and one side-to-side.

Several hours later and I am nursing a bad headache, I'm guessing dehydration-caused. It seems to be physically impossible for me to drink the same amount I sweat out during spin class, especially on a day like today. All in all though an excellent workout and a great way to break into the weekend!

APP UPDATE: Spoke to the developer earlier in the week and the edits are still taking much longer than anticipated (30 mins for each shot and there are over 600 individual shots!) and he is the only person doing them. Therefore, we're pushing back the launch day to sometime around the end of August in order to take advantage of the surge of back-to-college students looking for a great new workout plan.
