Christine’s first spin class @ GoodLife!
Full room of insane people on bikes.
Lots of sweat and anticipation for a great ‘ride’
Instructor is a maniac ( Mark ) ....really ( in a good way )
We start spinning and the music is good. Then all hell breaks loose.
He has us up the tension a quarter turn – then another quarter turn – then a full turn!
Yikes, what have I gotten myself into? Maybe no one will notice if I slip out..wait I’m sure Carmine will notice as he’s on the bike next to me.
Carmine actually has a smile on his face, maybe he’s insane too.
I stopped smiling a long time ago. Kind of like when I gave birth and was no longer amused by it.
My legs are already aching and then we are asked to Stand-up and peddle...ooowww!
We go on like this for eternity it seems until we begin doing intervals of 30 second on the seat and 30 second standing up.
Whoever thought of this should be shot!
Then the maniac announces “OK, 30 second break and then an 11 minute climb”....what?????
We climb for 11 minutes and people are hooting and yelling out from the sheer madness of it all!!!
Then our legs just stop. Dead. Like they have fallen off or something. And this is considered a successful ride.
I won’t even go into how I felt an hour after the class when my legs began to seize on the stairs at home.
It was definitely a night for a hot bath with Epsom Salts and 4 Salmon Oil.
The next day I was bragging about how much I loved the spin class....OK now I am insane!!!
