Warning: Rant Ahead!
Spinning this morning was really frustrating. The class was a 2×20 today, meaning you did a warm up for 10 minutes, two intense intervals of 20 minutes each with a 5 minute breather in between those two intervals.
Sounds great, right?
Well, my problem is the instructor. Her music is NOT upbeat and the whole time she tells us to concentrate on the road and our mental strength without any direction whatsoever. I understand that people need to be centered mentally, but why is she getting paid to tell me to essentially ride for 60 minutes on my own?
I can go in a room, get on a spin bike on my own whenever I please, the purpose of a class is to motivate you to work harder!
Maybe I’m mistaken but shouldn’t spin instructors be motivating us to maintain a certain intensity by telling us when to switch up the resistance and cadence?
Frustrating classes like this (and I should say really great ones too) make me want to become a spin instructor. I wish certification didn’t cost so much money!
End Rant.
Today will be a great day despite the frustrating start!

It’s always amazing to me how much an instructor can impact the quality of an exercise class. I used to have a Turbo Kick instructor who was the WORST, and I eventually just stopped going, even though I liked the workout. So frustrating! 😦
Oh no! That’s such a shame you had to stop going! But I definitely understand. I’m considering skipping out on Wednesday morning classes 😦
