Endurance

LGM and LP were wondering if I am a fan of Colin is it? Or am I even a fan of RPM?

It does sound like I’ve became a fan of both recently. I’ve been attending that Monday class at The Curve for more than a month. And I’ve also been joining the Tuesday RPM. I was on my way to RPM last night when BO walked out from the earlier RPM class preparing to join combat upstairs. Told him I don’t want to do Master C’s combat anymore. Told PB the same before I came down.

Earlier the day, actually the night before, LGM said she would try to make it to RPM, or else pump. I saw LGM peeking into the RPM studio when we were like in track 7 or so. I saw her indicating “pump” and I shook my head frantically. Hey, I was about to die in that RPM standing climb, I don’t want any more workout!

Since I “must” catch up with LGM, I tried to look for her in the pump class upstairs. Yee… no LGM. Spoke to BO for a while and he asked whether the RPM class was good. Err… just how to you evaluate an RPM class and its instructor? For me, I join RPM class when I am anti-social, when I don’t want to share my little space with anyone else (though I can also achieve this in pump and step) and when I don’t have the concentration. I mean, even if I day dream in RPM class, I don’t think I will miss a move? Okay, I might miss the cue of tuning up the resistance, or I might still be paddling seated when everyone is doing the standing climb, but hey, that’s not going to make me look weird or out of place so much, will it? The other day there was this member who paddled backwards, a bit distracting; and there was this guy who kept paddling and paddling on his own speed and seated all the time… sometimes I feel that one can be in one’s own world in RPM class and still will not effect others much. Imagine if someone refuses to move in a combat class when you are supposed to, say, do an evasive side kick? Sure got kicked.

And how to judge whether the RPM instructor is good? Or whether talk too much, or motivating or not? Hmm… even accuracy of cueing, how to tell for RPM? However, I do feel that certain instructor will always cue for change of moves or resistance with the change of music or beat. Is that due to song selection or cueing? Beats me...

Today miraculously I managed to join the 6.30pm RPM class! Okay, so I was late, missed the first track but still I’ve joined the earlier class. Haven’t done this since 2 years ago or more. No joke. Spent some time waiting for class to start last night and was extremely bored, that’s why I decided I must try to make it to the earlier class today. Besides, I need to get home early so that I can get more sleep.

Lastly, it was great catch up with LGM and well done to her for joining the 7.00am BB. Morning classes are not something I can manage to motivate myself to join. Haha…
