Thank you Shannon may I have another?

So the same core group of us has been showing up to Shannon’s magical buffet of indoor cycling mixed with group personal training since October. We’ve all made significant gains in strength and endurance. Our hearts can recover really quickly from very hard efforts. Resting heart rates are dropping and fat is melting away. It is all good with two notable exceptions.

First, Shannon has yet to play any Metallica, Tool or even AC/DC. Second, because it has been the same group of people (now known as “athletes”) working out week after week, Shannon feels comfortable cranking up the intensity on us. And there is no end to the new and horrible things she can dream up. Have you ever had to scamper across a gym forward, backward and sideways with thick rubber bands holding your ankles together? I have and I’m here to tell you it is no picnic.

We can whine, whimper and complain all we want, but it falls on deaf and unsympathetic ears. She just keeps turning the screws. THE ONLY WAY TO GET HER TO TONE IT DOWN IS TO HAVE SOME NEW PEOPLE JOIN US IN JANUARY. So please, do yourself and us a huge favor. Get your ass out of bed and in to L.O.F.I.T.T. Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 5:30. You’ll be sort of glad you did.
