What, just because I've been saying for months that I am going to try Cycling class but I never have, that doesn't mean I've punked out. I've had TONS of valid excused. Tons!
Except that they're just that- excuses. Not legitimate reasons- there can't possibly be a legitimate reason why I haven't once made it to an hour long class- just excuses.
The honest truth is that I'm afraid of spin class. I'm afraid because I know it's really intense and I'm worried that I can't keep up, and I'm afraid because those Spin bitches are crazy and I'm afraid that I'll make a misstep and they'll eat me alive for not knowing the protocol.
But really? Is this how I want to live my life? Afraid that I can't do something that I know I probably can? Afraid to try something new? Afraid of the women at my gym? Honestly. I've tackled much tougher stuff than Spin class. It's time to quit my bitching and just do it. Time to make myself proud again.
So off I go. Tomorrow I am attending a 9:15 a.m. Spin class. The time isn't ideal and I'm out of shape from a month off, but I'm going. I am. And if I don't, I expect to get a tongue (keyboard?) lashing from each and every one of you. Deal?
But in return I want the same from you. What are you afraid of? What workout challenges are you afraid to try and meet? Why? And most importantly, what are YOU going to do about it?
