February Spin Profiles, Part 1: 59-64

Wednesday marks my 100th Spin Profile! Wow! While compiling the Ultimate Spin Profile Song List for this class, I started to realize that I'm about 40 profiles behind on my blog. Whoops! I had wanted to keep things pretty UTD on this site so I would have fresh impressions of things, but it seems as though living has gotten in the way of writing. Oh well.

February was all about build up to our Race Day at the end of the month. Also featured some Valentine's Day Themed Classes (however, I don't think I could top last year's Classic Rock Love Songs Themed Class (SP #03)).

** Before class I sent out an email to my spinners saying, "Oh look, my BodyPump class was filmed the other day and some of you were in it. Check out the video. The song will be on tonight's play list!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_fCqg92qks
Some people just replied "Oh Congrats Nina" before actually watching the video. Check it out for yourself! Real workout motivator....

Hahahahahaha! I'm still cracking up about this. Yes, if you come to my spin class, you know my humor is stupid and corny. It does get you smiling though! :D
