Spin Crazy

Soo... here's the deal. I had this draft of a blog from awhile ago that I thought I would finish and post for everyone to read. But here is the catch. I am walking in the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network PurpleStride walk to raise funds for advancing research and patient advocacy in memory of my Dad, Jeff Werner. So you read this.. I provide you some entertainment, you strongly consider donating to my cause. In case you are sold before even reading, here is the link to my page..

Let the story begin..
There is a spin class that I sometimes attend and I always wonder why. It is taught by a man that makes me look like a legal dwarf who once played professional basketball in Europe. This spin class is taught down at the gym that is in the same building that I work. It is free for employees and has regularly published of aerobic classes. This class however is not on the published list. Anyone can attend but you have to be part of the elite group of crazies that are on the inside scoop.
Now from my previous postings you know that I have been to my fair share of spinning classes and for the most part they are a great way to get your sweat on with a nice degree of variety. This particular class does allow you to get your sweat on but provides no variety. Additionally there is a scary giant screaming at you the entire time. Here is how a typical class goes... (please try to keep in mind everything is being screamed above very, very loud hard core rap music that even us rap lovers have never heard).

--LET'S START OUT ON A FLAT SURFACE
(30 SECONDS GO BY)
--STAND UP AND SPRINT!!!! FASTER, FASTER, FASTER
--SIT DOWN (this means you can stop sprinting)
--THIS IS NOT A BREAK AND THAT LAST SPRINT WAS JUST OK. I WANT TO SEE BETTER
--STAND UP AND SPRINT!!! COME ON FASTER, I SEE YOU SLACKING IN THE BACK ROW, FASTER!
--SIT DOWN.... BETTER... AGAIN
--SPRINT! LLEEETTTSSSS GOOOOO! COME ON!
- SIT DOWN, TWO CLICKS TO THE RIGHT (harder resistance)
--STAND UP AND SPRINT! DON'T YOU DARE SLOW DOWN.. DON'T YOU DARE!
--SIT DOWN, HIT YOUR MATS (mats means it is time for abs)
--PLANKS, GO!... DON'T YOU DROP IT, DON'T YOU DARE DROP IT, I SEE YOU BACK THERE PICK IT UP (3 minutes have gone by).. ALMOST THERE... 30 SECONDS.. 15 SECONDS.. 5 SECONDS.. BONUS ROUND!!! HOLD IT... HOLD IT.. YOU CAN THANK ME LATER..OK.
--BACK ON YOUR BIKE.. I'M WAITING FOR YOU! NO SLACKING GET BACK ON THAT BIKE! NOW, NOW, NOW!
--GIVE ME A HILL.. YOU (pointed at someone in the class) PUT ON MORE HILL, YOU.. PUT ON MORE HILL.. DON'T TRY TO FOOL ME BY GOING SLOW I KNOW THAT TRICK.
--STAND UP AND SPRINT... FASTER, FASTER, FASTER.. NO BULLSHITTING ME RIGHT NOW.
--SIT... THAT WAS SHIT... IF I DON'T SEE YOU GOING FASTER WE WILL DO MORE
--STAND UP AND SPRINT... COME ON! GO FASTER.. I SAID FAASSTTTEERR!

At the end of the class it is kind of crazy people actually thank this dude. I felt a little pressured to do so as well so I had to thank him. I mean in real life would you thank someone for screaming at you for a hour to do crazy shit? Insane I tell you. Insane.

**Hope you got a little laugh.. here is the link again for making that donation (smile). Thank you so much for your support in advance!!
