A little note to myself: You haven't been on a bike ride, or even on your bike since you were sick with the flu over a month ago. You should get on that... Literally. How about this weekend?
Now that that's out of the way.
A friend of mine asked if anyone was interested in joining her in one of the spin classes on campus. I agreed right a way. I thought I would love it since I loved riding my bike so much. So I was pumped to go. Plus I needed another fun activity to try out because the gym was getting a little repetitive and boring.
So I met her there on Monday, picked up a pass, and picked out a bike. I was very anxious all day. I let my thoughts and other peoples comments get ahead of me. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to participate in something so intense. I was scared more than anxious, for sure. Nevertheless, I couldn't wait for it to start.
And we kicked those stationary bikes asses!!!
I freakin loved it! Regardless that at a certain point I felt as if my lungs and heart were going to involuntarily spew out of my mouth in tiny little chunks, I took a step back and let myself calm down. The instructor was very conscious about each one of us. She took our level into consideration and made sure we were taking care of ourselves when she noticed we may spontaneously fall over on our bike.
Especially while changing the height of our handle bars...
Which I almost did...
I will definitely be going back. I really loved it. And it is so wonderful to know that I have a good friend there with me.
I may even look into other fitness classes the university offers... like boot camp... that sounds interesting.
Until Next time <3
