Holidays

Some people get mentally and physically lazy during the holiday season. Not us!

We're beasts. Always will be.

Don't make EXCUSES to miss your workouts.

TGIF

It's hump day, which usually sucks, but not this morning. Our instructor bumped the remix of "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)"  by Katy Perry featuring Missy Elliott.

It's crazy how good music and endorphins can alter your mood. I'm fired up for the long weekend and can't wait to party!!!

Injuries Suck

Sorry for the hiatus, folks. I suffered a leg injury about a month ago, but got the OK to return to Spin earlier this week. I think it's only fitting that Natasha Bedingfield's "Pocketful of Sunshine" was one of the songs that stood out in this morning's 6am class.

Have a blessed day!

Rolling in the reek

Note to all spin instructors: no matter how much you can relate to this song, do NOT, under any circumstances, sing along to this song in class. My heart can't take it, and neither can anyone's ears at 6 in the morning.

Thank you.

King of Anything

Sara Bareilles has one of this generations great pop voices. And this song is her crowning achievement in my opinion. The spin instructor had a dance version of this song pumping this morning during a climbing portion of the program, and the bass pumping from the dance version helped me push through and feel real great about it too. I love when I hear a song in spin class that I wouldn't normally think to play in that setting, but it's so catchy that you know someone had to do it.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the exact version I heard on youtube, but here is the original mix, which is just as endorphin-inducing. Happy Wednesday ya'll!

Cool Down

This is my favorite part of class. A sense of accomplishment sets in. This morning, "Arthur's Theme" by Christopher Cross played. It reminded me of two things: my childhood and my favorite city in the world.

For a few precious moments in my crazy life, it was nice to feel comfortable and free.

Man Down

It's funny that this song played in class this morning. I partied a little too hard last night. Fernet shots and 6 am spin classes don't mix :(
