I missed the last two days of working out (unless you could the 30 min walk with the dogs yesterday) and today I totally made up for it! I arrived at Core Essentials this morning thinking I was getting into a 30 min 'Saturday Surprise' class, but ended up taking a 60 min RealRyder class - sans the 30 min intro class!  Most people start with the 30 min intro, then maybe work up to the 45 min class - not me, I dive right in with a 60 min class!

I've done spin classes years ago, and hadn't yet tried the Ryders...it was amazing and it KICKED MY A$$!! Holy Cow!! Interval training, hills, some rest periods, posting and LEANING!

RealRyder™ is the only indoor cycle that allows the rider to functionally engage the upper body and core musculature while the legs do the pedaling. The RealRyder™ bikes have an 18 degree lean on each side. The exercise offers enhanced total-body fitness benefits while bringing the natural movements of outdoors cycling indoors.

So, now I'm feeling good and tired! It really was the hardest workout, and odd too. My legs were screaming at me until half way through, and then I seemed to hit my stride and they felt good again. Legs are still tired now but not hurting.

Tomorrow is another Zumba class, so I'm resting up tonight for that one! I ate well, except for the beer  - it hard not to have at least one on the weekend, while dining with friends! I earned that beer today I guess.

Nitey nite
