You're never too old to be RAD!

On Wednesdays I try to go to a spin class at 1:30. The 12:30 is more popular and the fabulous gay instructor is FULL of energy (and sometimes showtunes).  I don't dislike him but when they started offering a class at 1:30 I decided to give it a try. This guy is sort of into trance, although today we had a slamming remix of "Toxic" by Britney Spears.

One of the bonuses of this class is that sometimes an incredible lady in her 70's joins. She is tiny, wears her red hair in a bun on the top of her hair in a style that reminds me of the 1800's, wears Reeboks and today was rocking leopard print tights under her red leotard.

The raddest thing though is that she is SUPER into it. She bounces along and sings and sometimes puts her fist in the air with absolute enthusiasm. It totally makes the experience 10x  more fun and inspiring.

Someday I'll summon the courage to ask her her name and what her story is.  I'd love to be her friend.

Boot Camp Blues

I think a few of you have done boot camp. It's basically a class/series of classes where you do drills and burn 'em up pretty fast. I have been trying to go once a week since it's one of the few places to really do squats and lunges and ab stuff in an efficient manner. The class I've gone to three times is pretty hilarious a) because it's brutal and b) because he for real makes us do army like chants.

This is one:

He says:

"Hit It"

The we yell:

"More PT (physical training) More PT
The More I Do, The Better I Feel
I Like It, I Love it, Give Me More Of It
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"


It's absolutely ridiculous but there is something about it that I love.
Today I went back after having skipped a week and I felt like I was gonna barf. Can't wait for next Tuesday!
