Comment from Spin instructor

[chef]

so you're on an indoor bike cycling in a group of people and sometimes you stand up and cycle??

what does the instructor say/do?
and how can you have bad form?? surely if you peddle and keep up your done?

sounds like complete and utter crap, buy a bike and go get some fresh air

whs

Thought this might be an Alistair Campbellesque symposium during which the finer points of bulltuliping are honed. Just some effeminate salad dodgers needing instruction on how to pedal a bike.
Have you signed up for the Walking-and-chewing-gum-simultaneously Classes too?

One of Mrs MM's mates instructs "Spin". They get a readout of all the bike's output and if you have an electronic widget the instructor can track your progress.

The main job of the instructor in a spin class is to pick on people who aren't working as hard as they have done previously and shout general encouragement.

Preferably somewhere with lots of steep, dangerous drop offs...

Never done a class myself, but have witnessed a few. The pace appears to be very fast and the instructor seems to shout a lot.

I would much rather go for a jog on my own frankly.

Abuse

All the spin instructors I’ve ever seen are ex army sergeant majors who were too thick to get a real sports qualification and like to sit on a bike screaming at people. If they did have any formal training they wouldn't make stupid remarks about somebody's form on the second similar training in two days.

I can assure you that Mrs MM's mate is not ex-army. She's quite meek actually.

Until she sits on the red instructor's bike and then mutates into an officer of ze gestapo.
