Spin Spin Spin

So, my very dear friend, Melis inspired me to try a new class at the gym... spinning! I have wanted to do this class forever, but have been way too nervous. I guess when it comes to trying a new class, it usually takes me a while to build up the courage to go. I am so affriad of looking like the biggest idiot. And especially when it comes to cardio beacuse, my endurance level is pretty much "next to nothing". But I did it, and it was awesome!
First of all, the class instructor was way too cool! He was an older man, with a gut and all. We listened to alot of oldie music, yes, this included alot of Elvis. He also pulled out a few interesting songs: The Mocerana (sp?), that a few people actually started dancing to and a U2 song he called the goosbumps song, because he actually gets the goosebumps when he listens to it. Wait, this gets better, at the very end... he played a song that we spun along with the beat. It started out really slow, and then got extra fast at the end (this was a major killer)... and as we got faster and faster, he would blow a train whistle! Yes, a train whistle!

It was hilarious. He really kept me entertained through out the workout. I loved this class and have already scheduled daycare time during it next week so that I can continue to attend. Thanks Melis for the courage and inspiration!

Anyone who has not yet tried it out... get out and do it, It was so fun and gives a great variety to the everyday workout.
