Tomorrow I am attending my first EVER spin class. I am so nervous! I have been trying to talk myself out of it or come up with excuses to not go. I always hate going to a class for the first time. Like the time I went to a weights class at the gym- I showed up completely clueless as everyone who had been there for the 15min abs class before had all of their stuff laid out (mat, barbell, steps, etc...). I looked silly being the last one to get all of my "stuff". Then I came back to a mat I left behind near my water bottle only to find that someone else claimed it. Humph.
I know, I am paranoid! It's just like the dream you have when you go out into public naked- you panic! Okay, no, I don't show up naked... I just feel wicked sheepish when I don't know what I'm doing or whatever.
Sunday and today my knees have been aching. I half think that sometimes my pain might have to do with my job. I get to play with kids on the floor... so I'm on my knees. A lot. Problem? Maybe. I also sat on a SUPER comfy couch tonight, however, I was too short for it. My knees barely reached the end of the cushion. My legs were sticking out a little too. It was so painful! Needless to say... no workout tonight. Sad.
Wish me luck tomorrow!
Do you get nervous when you go a workout class for the first time?

I do! Its always better with a friend. One time I needed to leave early and the man holding the class yelled that I was quitter as I was leaving. I really couldn't believe his nerve.
Make sure to bring your towel to spin, and don't be shy about asking someone/the instructor to hep you with your bike settings.
Good luck!
I love spinning class. My gym doesn't have it. But I have taken a few classes elsewhere. Good luck!
