Before Dawn

November 4, 2010 by Jenn

This morning at 6am, my spinning class was full!  It is so great to see so many people coming to the gym before the sun even begins to think about rising.  It makes it so much more exciting as an instructor as well…I can feed off the energy of the (mostly) women in my class.  I love it!  It also makes me hit the snooze button on my alarm when it goes off at 5:15am, one less time!  I know I better get my ass to the gym.  THERE ARE PEOPLE WAITING!!!! Here is the spin routine from this morning!

SPIN-J

Duration: 45mins

Warm Up

Sex is on Fire – 3:28 – 5/10 – seated/stand

Bad Romance – 4:27 – 6/10 – speed song – seated, turn up tension full turn @ :57- 1:29, 2:20- 2:50, 3:42-end

Morning After Dark – 3:54 – 7/10 – stair climbing – “dance on your toes”, keep your bum forward, chin/head up, light fingers on the bar, turn the tension up every 30s.

Ego – 3:03 – 6/10 – jumps (hover/stand) with sprints @ :40-1:12, 1:35-2:08, 2:23-end

Snuff – 4:36 – 7/10 – seated climb, turn tension up every 30s 1/2 turn

Somebody to Love – 3:33 – 8/10 – grind and climb – start standing, :40-:58 standing sprint, 1:26- 1:46 sit sprint, 2:28-2:46 stand sprint. Keep your tension at 8/10 throughout the song.

Take That – 2:47 – 7/10 – jumps between seated/hover/stand, every time song says “take that” switch position

Starstrukk- 3:23 – power sprint – sprinting tension – power sprint turn up tension 2 full turns @ :45-1:15, 1:45-2:15, 2:51-end

Hard Sun – 5:22 – 8/10 – climb – pick up pace @ 1:20 and 3:20, 2:00 and 4:00 full turn up “power ten” (countdown from 10)

Sing – 3:49 – 7/10 – hover, 1/2 turn up every 30s – every 30s put either R hand or L hand behind back (while hovering), make sure to alternate

Just Breathe – cooldown…keep those legs spinning, gradually lower your heart rate….stretch out those muscles.

Spinning or exercising is a fabulous way to start the day….I always feel so great throughout the day knowing that my workout is done, rather than feeling it looming over me all day long.  Now, if only I could have people waiting for me at the gym EVERY day…maybe I would hit the snooze button one less time every week day 🙂  OR an even better idea would be to have people waiting at my door!  I would definitely get up then…you probably wouldn’t come again…I’m not a pretty sight in the morning.

Have a great day everybody!  Remember to find a way to sweat today.
