Spanish Spinning


(<---- my new gym!)

Hi everyone :-)

So, last night I went to my first Spanish spinning class at my new gym. The gym is huge and the class has enough bikes for like 30-40 people. But as it is in all cultures, and I suppose it is human nature, most of the people that showed up clustered as far in the back corner away from the intstructor as possible. I love that some things don't change between countries. I chose my spot in the second row to the side, with plenty of viewing room to see what other people were doing when I heard the new commands. The class was awesome and the instructor was amazing. The class was fast passed and she pretty much continuously shouted commands. For 45 minutes I heard: "sigo sigo! vamos chicos! media vuelta más! aguanto aguanto! vamos chicos! una vuelta más!" the 'vuelta' part is the turning of the tension knob up....she said that one a lot :-)

The gym is great, lots of stuff,...pool, weights, courts, etc. And about a 5 min walk or less from my apt....the best part :-)

Overall, it was pretty awesome to be screamed at in Spanish and get in a workout at the same time. As I expected, I was exhausted after......can't wait till Thursday to do it again! :-)
