Lets Spin!

On Wednesdays, I like to go to a spin class at the health club we belong to. The instructor is amazing. She has great music and lots of energy. The class is typically 1 hour long although she likes to throw in some 1 1/2 hour and 2 hour classes just for punishment fun.

I love to watch my heart rate monitor of course to keep track of my heart rate but really, I love to see my caloric expenditure keep on ticking ~ up and up and up! Yesterday was 723 calories and I didn't finish the entire class because I was tired and ready to be done some little girl doesn't like to be in the daycare at the club without her siblings! LITTLE STINKER!

Anyway, Action knows how much I like spin class and so he devised a way to try it for himself. Creative little bugger I have here.

Check this out:

He takes his bike and props up the training wheels.

AND

Voila ~ there you have it, your very own spin bike. He actually asked me to take his spin class! I think I might just need a bigger bike though!

The details

The other day, the weather was gorgeous so I decided to skip the health club and go for a jog around the neighborhood. I got the baby in the jogging stroller and Action decided he wanted to ride his bike with us. Lets just say the 1.75 miles turned into a 40 min jog. Action insisted we stop at every other corner so he could stretch and shake out his legs. When we made it back home he requested my caloric details from my heart rate monitor. Have I created a monster? He then decided he would like a heart rate monitor of his own. A 5 year old looking to see his average heart rate and caloric expenditure. Funny!
