Spin, Guts ‘n Butts – November 8

Amy Ko (see linked blog) and I decided to attend Spin Class on Thursday evening followed by the Guts and Butts class. Both session are taught by Stacey at Gold’s Gym on Pine Avenue. Stacey rocks, and her work outs rock too.

The spin class was challenging as usual, but Stacey mixes it up and keeps everyone entertained. She’s an entertaining mix of high energy, hip hop inspiration and visionary; we usually go for a mental image ride down PCH or to/in San Francisco with hill and speed work to match.

I’m a “sweater” so by the end of the hour I was perched on my stationary bike above a pool of my own man sweat. Nice. That is usually where the fun ends, but not today. Amy Ko and I had already decided to go to the next class of Guts and Butts. Actually, I was on the fence buy Amy kept poking at me with verbal barbs as sharp as a spear: come on sissy boy, it’s time to get that gut in shape! Or my favorite “my puppy has better abs than you do, Buddha!” So…off the class we went.

We only stayed for the “guts” part. Amy said something about the butt session making her butt into a small, rock-like body part, and she’s not going to impress the ladies with a rock ass nugget. I guess she wants some “back” which is fine; now if I could only find a way to donate her some of mine.

Great combo work out. “Thank you sir, may I have another!?”
