I've found a new exercise toy - spinning.

Basically you pedal like fury on a stationary bike to dance music. You put more resistance on the wheel to make it harder and turn it back if the resistance is killing you.

Sometimes you pedal really fast, sometimes you stand up and pedal which is like going up hill, somtimes you just try to concentrate on your muscles not exploding.

This morning there were ten of us in the gym for quarter to eight.

Two spinning novices - me and Simon from personnel - and the rest were seasoned spinners.

It was one very hot half hour though - I was bright red and dripping by the end of it.

Now it's dinner time I'm exhausted. Mind you, I've signed up for Wednesday early morning class as well!
