Ok so I took spin because my regular class has been cancelled due to jerks destroying one of the studios. So this is my fist time on Thursday night and I have no clue who the instructor will be.  So I got to my usual place in the back as I don't like people behind me.  I set myself up and the instructor starts speaking. So I am unfamiliar with who this is.  But from the back as I look and listen,  I am not sure if this instructor is a man or woman.  Opps. I mean the body is a small frame, looks in good shape but I just can't tell.  Anyway class starts and the instructor is giving the instructors tell us we are going for Zone 4 and we are going to push it.  So I'm ready.  At this point I believe he is a man.  And he is working his bike making us work ours. 

Pushing, pushing pushing.  Cant hardly breathe. Someone please help.  Ok, but I push.

So the instructor walks around to make sure people are in their correct form and ok.

And the instructor passes me.

As I look at HER, I realize not only is she a woman, but she has to be about 60 years old!!

I'm barely breathing but I smile to myself.

Not that she sounded like a man, but she had that "I'm a grown ass woman voice, Calm cool and yes I am holding  it down on this bike while you youngins who are supposed to be in better shape then me, are struggling!!"

I'm inspired. And it was the best spin class I took thus far.  She rocked it.

Why doesnt this crap get any easier????????

I mean really.  No matter how many times in class we do lunges they always always hurt halfway through.  When will they hurt three fourths of the way through?????

So I took a spinning class for the first time yesterday.

I have been avoiding it because A: I knew it would be a challenge, and B: Riding a bike is boring to me.

But my regular class was cancelled because some kids decided to bust a sprinkler pipe with one of the medicine balls and it flooded out the child center and a studio.  How do I know` this? They caught them jokers on video.  Estimated damage: 30k.  There are some extremely angry parents in the North side of Atlanta.

Anyway. Spinning.

Actually was not that bad. The worst part? That dag seat!!!!! It was not comfortable at all! It made the whole hour pretty rough.  Urgh!!!!  They make bike pants that have a little padding in the seat area.   I may invest because spinning was not bad. And I like the way my body feels today.  I feel muscles that I dont normally feel.  I like that!  I give Lance a lot more credit.
