Spin Class Boca Style.....Vacation 4
Wow Uncle Willie spin us another yarn about spin class, please. OK kids sit back and relax because that's just what I am going to do. Well I got tired of hanging around the condo in a couple of days, stuffing my face with Chips Ahoys and spice ham. I had passed a gym while I was out buying Chips Ahoy and spice ham, so I decided to stop in and ask if they had a spin class. The gym was call Fitness First Health Club and it was something. It was huge, it had a very large room with work out machines and a back room with free weights that was eminence. It had a room for aerobics and another just for spin. So I *moesed up to the desk and asked the women about signing up for a class. She said "you will have to talk to Ben about that". So here comes Ben and he gives me a hardy handshake and we head to his office. He informs me that I would have to sign up for the week so I can take the classes. And me being the spin meister general I say" sign me up Benny boy". Before I agreed to sign up for the week Benny boy is my best new friend. As soon as the contract is sign Benny and I aren't close any more and he says "Get out of here you knucklehead". So me being the knucklehead that I am I, beat it.
The next day at 9:30 I am at the club and ready to go. With my bottle of water and my pink towel. I noticed that they had towels there and I would not bring one the next day. I head to the spin class room, and it is filled with bikes, there must have been 40 of them. So I grab one, and set it up and I am ready to spin my ass off. The class had about 25 other people in the class, all women. They were all ages from late teens to people in their 60's. The instructor walks in to the room and mount her bike and is ready to go. I noticed something unusual about her, I am very observant about these things, she looks like she is about to give birth any minute. But that never got in the way of the workout. She pushed herself very hard. Not as hard as me, but hard. It was a very good workout and the workout room was great too, the music was blaring and that works for me. I love getting lost in the music. But I am the spin meister.
The only difference in this class and the class I take at home is that most of the women in the class, in Florida, are wooping it up and yelling and woo hoing for the whole all class. Now I know what General Custer's last stand sounded like.
The next day I go for the class and I leave my pink towel home. Well go figure no towels. I did the whole class wiping away the sweat with square of paper towels. Very smooth and sophisticated on my part. But all in all it was a good work out. The one problem about working out in Florida and it is, stepping out of doors after a workout, with 95 degree temperatures, that there is no relief. It was so hot that I noticed that the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground. It's so hot you learn that a seat belt makes a pretty good branding iron. Well you get the picture.
* I don't know if this is the correct spelling of this word, because I cannot find this word anywhere. This word use to describe the way that cowboys use to walk up to the bar in the saloons. Willie moesied up to the bar for a shot of red eye. When I hit spell check I get messed,mossed,moused and moussed.
I would like to give a tip of the hat( I got tip of the hat phrase from my friend Jeremy who got it from someone named Jim and now I am going to use it as well, well because I like the way it sounds, so there.) to Jack who sent the following;
