Corso Spin Inspiration

A head start on the dawn of 2011 had me in Roslyn taking on the Empress of Fitness, Michelle Corso. As his her wont Michelle took us through a meticulously guided tour of her beautifully choreographed hour. It left me with the indelible reminder that she is not only adroitly scientific, but also so impressive to look at with the naked eye.  She truly is God’s artwork in the flesh.  And when she played: Abracadabra and that distinctive verse of “Black panties, leather and lace” echoed in my ears, I was launched into troposphere, forgetting that my influenza still had a vice like grip on my trachea.   

Quite by accident I have a “uniform” for her class, it is my CSI shirt, which I have renamed “Corso Spin Inspiration”.  I wore it last time and as I went through my closet this morning the CSI shirt almost beckoned to me and that is what I donned today. 

I looked around the darkened studio of Roslyn and noticed once again that I was the only male present but as I perused all of the riders I noticed something even more singular. Most of the women were as lean as Michelle. Almost as if she has trained her own little army to accompany the Empress. One rider in particular Vera had my attention because she almost looked like as if she was in an exercise video wherein you see one student working in tandem with the instructor.  Vera kept a cadence that mirrored Michelle. Which is no small feat in itself because the intensity of the Corso Vortex is as advanced as they come. At one point she said: “Don’t save it”. I thought incredulously that I had already borrowed some from the rider in back of me whilst she wasn’t looking.  I never have reserve when I spin in the Corso Vortex I lay it all out on her dance floor.  

Part of me wishes Michelle would get off her bike and walk around the CS injecting her own personal energy into our pedal stroke in an even closer proximity, but I suppose that might take away from who she is.  In any case a fabulous way to close the door on one wonderful year in the CS.  

P.S. We broke 10,000 today. Thank you one and all.
