55 minutes of spinning last night. Max heart rate 83% of max, average 76% of max. HR monitor said 803 calories burned. It was kind of cool because they brought in a big screen and projector and showed a video shot from a car driving slowly down a country road in Scotland, played scottish music, and had us pretend to be riding up and down the hills in the video (with commensurate changes in resistance levels and pedalling tempo).

It was the first time they have done it, so I will cut them some slack. It was fun, but they could improve it alot by having the instructor do a better job of keeping up with what we are seeing on the screen when giving commands.

Planning another spin class tonight...its a "Race Day" which means trying to keep HR at or above 85% for most of the 60 minute class. It will be class 15 for the month of July, so we will get our "yellow jerseys" at the end of class. Saturday is a "80 minutes of 80s". The instructor has threatened to wear leg warmers and a flashdance shirt...
