group energy

I am a firm believer in group energy.  Thus my love of Bikram and other group yoga classes.  Today on the training docket was to go to spin class.  I really do love my gym, Lakeshore Athletic Club, we have an amazing facility and some pretty amazing instructors.  When I have gone to spin classes in the past I had always had a female instructor.  And I have always enjoyed those classes very high energy, and just butt kicking intensity.

Today, though was different as the class was lead by a a male instructor, and I will just let him be nameless.  But all I can say, is wow on the group energy....   When he said, in his low voice, glistening with sweat, "How was that intensity?  Ready to do it again?"  I had to refocus, yes we are spinning here!    But it was an interesting interaction between the instructor and the group.  Everyone seemed ultra focused and trying so damn hard to please.

I also understand why women now go into that class with make up on and their hair done.

I can say I did have a stellar spin work out, over 650 calories in 60 minutes.  This may have to be a class I visit more often....
