The Joys of Cycling and Spinning

When I witnessed what my Mom went through when she had her knee surgery I said to myself I am going to make sure that I never ever have to go through that. My Mom who rarely complained about anything said that the knee surgery was more painful than  experiencing the birth of her five children. Then I knew it was painful.I started taking an indoor cycling class and found that my legs became so much stronger that the cracking sound when I would walk upstairs stopped and that my strides were faster and easier. So much so that I started running up steps. Now I teach indoor cycling and some of my students that are 40 years younger than I am are amazed at the difficulty of my class and the shape I am in. I have enjoyed teaching the classes so much that I am  working on becoming a master trainer and developing an indoor cycling clothing line. I still enjoy my regular job as the broker of my own real estate firm, but the cycling is a great stress reliever and I utilize other creative skills that I would not normally utilize. It is never too late to reinvent yourself and start doing some of the things you love to do. Coming from a workaholic background, I never thought I could break out and enjoy exercising with friends and teaching extreme spin classes. The other benefit is when people think you are 40 and you tell them your real age they give you that look of amazement. Get up off the couch and get spinning you will love it and yourself for doing it.
