Last night
momstown Oakville moms completed our first
fitness challenge workout. We starting things off by working up a huge sweat with
Quad Spin West. Led by Micheline, the owner and Candace, our instructor for the night, we went through a fun, fast and high intensity workout that left us all feeling great! For anyone who hasn't heard of spinning before, its an indoor cycling class, usually one hour in length (including a warm-up and cool-down) with a focus on tempo, timing and rhythm. The classes have interval training (hill climbs, sprints, standing up on the bike) which are the basis of the classes and take participants through easy, medium and intense energy output levels.
Before we even got started last night, everyone was impressed with the kids area that is right next to the spin studio. It's all glassed in so you can see the area easily and was well equipped with lots of things to keep kids entertained while you get in a spin workout! The area isn't supervised, so your children would have to be old enough to entertain themselves, but they could see you the whole time, and you can easily see them. Pure genius to add this in and make it easier for moms to be able to get in a workout!

We had many first time 'spinners' last night so Micheline and Candace made sure that everyone was seated properly on their bike before we began. We then went through a 60 minute class which was infused with good music and motivation to push ourselves. The hour went but quickly and I felt great afterwards! If you love working out to music, this is a perfect class for that, they pump up the volume and use the music to do different intervals as you can sprint to the beat or get your rhythm going up a hill based on the song being played.
