A spin class is an exercise class in which a group of people ride on stationary bikes. A spin class typically has loud, energetic music playing while the class follows the instructions from the leader to add or subtract resistance to the bikes.
Question: I am interested in starting spin classes to slim my legs. I have never done this type of cardio before. What should I know before I start?

Classes consist of anywhere from a half dozen to 20 participants perched atop special stationary bikes.
