What is it that makes a Spin class...a Spin class? You need bikes, you need an instructor, you need music. Wait...do you really need music? This morning our instructor was unable to secure the music for our class. She was very apologetic and told us that she'd teach the class without the music if we were willing. No one left the room. For the next 40 minutes she proceeded to take us through a grueling workout that included several climbs, numerous sprints and a few hovers...just for kicks and giggles. Some of the people were a bit perplexed and dare I say "lost" without the music. Not me. I turned inward and thought about cyclists that compete on the road...they don't have music. I began to visualize myself "on the road" with my fellow cyclists...riding...trying my best to do my personal best. In the process...I visualized myself climbing hills, sprinting down the road...passing my fellow cyclists...giving myself up to the ride...pushing myself...my instructor's commands in the background...guiding me through the race I was constructing.
At the end of the ride...I felt great about my performance and knowing from this point on...the only playlist I need is my own determination to make each class my personal best!
