On Saturday, as my journey to personal trainer status continued, I was made to do my first spin class. Of course when I was told I was slightly worried that I might die....or kill someone, but actually accepted it as a change in my training and something which might benefit me. These benefits I thought were totally of the cardiovascular nature, but shit was I wrong. I can proudly say that I got through the whole 50 minute session without stopping and without having any breathing difficulties, however after only 5 minutes (yes.....5 minutes) I could feel my legs really start to burn. As you could imagine, being sore after 5 minutes and then going on for another 45 minutes is absolute agony and there were many faces made. After this lovely session I actually felt great, but not because of the pump in my legs (this was also a great feeling though), it was because I knew that this sort of variation would really help my squat and deadlift....by no means does that mean I will ever do spin again though, lol.
Of course that isn't the only class we are being made to do. Whilst I was burning away in the spin studio, half of the class was sent to do a body pump class. And guess what?! I have to do it this saturday morning... damn I use to love saturdays, lol. Anyways, even though i'm complaining like a little girl, I actually am really enjoying this course and the classes we are being made to do are just incase we need to teach them at some point.
So I got my chalk on Saturday and was able to use it today for deadlifts, and I must say that my hands are fecking sore. It doesn't say on the label "MAY GIVE YOU TOO MUCH GRIP", because thats what it does. It felt good though to be holding the bar with no thought in my mind that I was going to drop it or let go. Just call me chalkman

which is why I shall never do anything of this nature voluntarily. We are being forced to do this stuff and I have to just roll with it I guess....and there is no chance in hell of me ever having a fat ass, lol.
if i ever see you dandering in to fitness first with your spandex outfit and own 'gel seat' for your spin bike we will have to fight to the death - you have potential young seanicus and i am not about to stand aside and let you turn into some yoga loving lesbian with bingo wings
