This has been a rough weekend … I have been battling technology ALL weekend!!! I hope you don’t mind my ramblings about it at the beginning of the show … if you want to skip the intro, please head straight to 4:30 for spinning chatter. Thank you so much for watching!
For show notes, see below. If I haven’t linked to something, please leave a comment and I will share the links. Also, if you have any questions about spinning techniques, how I do certain things or anything else, PLEASE PLEASE ask in the comments! I would love to address some of your questions about spinning in future episodes.
