The Ride of Your Life

Here is an idea that S gave to me and I just LOVE it!

I will carve out about a fifteen or twenty minute portion of my class to “The Spin of Your Life.” Kind of like this portion of our program is sponsored by "your name here". Music is a big part of a lot of people’s lives. They mark the time by what song was playing went an event occurred in their life. If I could incorporate those songs within a program and share with the class why and what this song means to them I think it would jazz the class up and make it even more fun.

Which is what you want to do is make fitness fun. A couple of rules: 1) only three to five songs. First you don’t want to be spinning to county music for 80 minutes and second people will be more likely to participate if it only involves a couple of songs.

2) You have to be willing to tell why this song was important to you and agree to let me share it with the class. They can be happy moments, funny moments, inspirational moments, maybe try to keep the depressing moments out unless maybe it is a short recovery or something. You probably don’t want to depress the class.

I love the song "drift away". I always say its the "military wife song". The words means so much to me and helped me through many, many nights alone.

I like the song "loose yourself" by emenem. That song drives me so much, I could climb to it, run to it, and even if I'm on my last drop of energy, that song can lift me out and take me to the finish line-- I feel like I don't want to miss one opportunity in life and that song helps me when I'm feeling down and out!
