By: Chrysa Smith One of my exercise goals is that once the thirst, the sweating, the burning is done, that full functioning of my body will return. I'm still waiting. Two days ago, after some encouragement, and the desire to rise to a new challenge, I joined a friend for a spinning class. Well, it wasn't just any spinning class.
