[quote=Anonymous]I have had two knee surgeries, so no running for me.

But I was in the best shape of my life when I alternated power yoga and spinning. I would do a serious ashtanga/power yoga class and yes, depending on the teacher and how you're doing it, it is both cardio and strength. Then I would do a one hour "super spin" 2 or 3 x a week. What I loved about spinning is that thanks to the instructor, class, and music,  I pushed myself much harder than I would on myown on the ellipitcal (which is my fallback, 2 kids and less time, later). My only caveat wold be to be careful when starting yoga--if something hurts your knee, dont do it (there are a couple things I cannot do because they put pressure on the knee, I just substitute others, speak to the isntructor ahead of time and any sharp pain or pressure in the knee means stop!). Other piec eof advice--when you start spinning, you need bike shorts or a gel seat--otherwise you will be in pain. And if you decide you like it, it is worth investing in a part of clip on shoes--you get more control, power and speed that way. [/quote]
