I went to a spin class this morning as I was cold and figured this would warm me up. Well it did, but God was it hard.

It is not cast in stone as it very much depends on your body weight and how strong you are taking it but it is thought that spin can help your body burn 450 calories within 45 minutes- so defo a great workout. A lot of it depends on the instructor too, I noticed: Carol was encouraging, but definitely pushing it quite far, and demonstrating everything.

So I had that spin class, a good stretch, and balanced this lower-body workout by doing a few weights, including biceps curls and triceps dips, and 15 minutes of rowing.

I mean, the fact that my arms are aching doesn’t make my legs ache any less, but at least upper and lower body will look about even!
