Physically Fit-ish- Spin Edition
Sooooo. Today I did spin….
If you follow me on twitter then you know I’m pretty much down for most exercises but I shake in my boots at the thought of spin. Let’s just say that it was a good workout I did sweat like hell. However, it was also a great reminder of why I don’t do spin and why I wont be doing it for a very long time. If you want to feel the burn, burn, burn, burn THIS is the exercise for you. I was glad to see so many of my tweeps in the class also and a fellow person fighting the war against cancer. She kicked butt!!!! I also had the help of my very good friend Esther Lyew who worked as a mammographer to stop by and show us how women AND men should examine themselves for a lump. And when you’re watching the video yes, I do cry for help on SEVERAL occasions. (stop laughing)
So Spinning used to intimidate the crap out of me – or rather the *thought* of Spinning. One day I decided to bite the bullet couple years ago and do a Spinning class with Rose Tavares-Finson @ Shakti Mind Body Fitness.
My first class was a doozy! The seat on the Le Mans bike wasn’t exactly soft/extraordinarily comfortable! All the same, the music & the vibe of the class got my spirits high and by the end of the class, weary as I felt, I was incredibly amped!
By my 2nd class I’d invested in a gel seat – so my Spin classes with Mighty Mike were off the chain!
Spinning is great fun and always a challenge.Best cardio, zero-impact workout *ever*!!!
I found the second video informative. I’m happy you added that men can indeed get breast cancer.
Back to your work-out. This was a sort out work out – saw you putting in the effort. I’m sure you’re inspiring many people to rethink about their health. Working out is cool—Just for me to take those words seriously.
My first spin class I walked out…I could NOT sit any longer. It was painful. For days I walked like I had been participating in some painful and rough sex…I wouldn’t mind trying it again but jah know, I need a seat cushion.
Love the second video because I thought I could ONLY check while in the shower.
