A spinning instructor is an exercise coach, sort of like in an aerobics class. It’s a simulated bike ride on stationary bikes. They do funky things with the lights and music and the instructor lead a class up/down hills of various steepness. I hear it’s quite a workout.

ALRIGHT!! I was hoping it would start soon. I haven’t seen any commercials for it though, but then again, I’m not a big TV watcher.

Goodie. I wasn’t too happy to hear it had been consigned to Saturday nights. Tuesday is much better.
