There may be other spin classes that I find just as challenging as The Evil Woman’s but none that carry the specificity that she brings each and every morning to the CS. Her plan is never boilerplate and neither is the choreography. And except for my birthday I have become ambivalent to music I normally would have abhorred in the past. But one thing I am not turned off to and that is the results I am now seeing one year in.
And something more has changed in the last month that I have experienced in class. It seems that I am in more control of my breathing than ever before. I was always in the anaerobic zone and spinning without a plan and dying to catch my breath. Now I can actually breathe in through my nose for most of the ride. An amazing turn of events.
And I have become more automatic with that red dial. Adjusting the resistance wheel was always a mystery to me because there are no numbers on it. But that makes sense because where I might feel comfortable at 5 someone else might feel more at home in 7. So there is no way to calibrate one size fits all because we all are in different levels of fitness and strength varies from one person to another.
Get on it! Of course my mind went right to where it shouldn’t go and you can’t help but notice that the double entendres give some of us something to chuckle about under our breath.
