Spinning times 2

Motivation comes in all shapes and sizes. I want to tell you about Jodi who motivated me to do both of her spinning classes on this past Saturday. I had planned on just doing the 8:00 Am and then lift weights for another hour. My good friend Jonathan and I both agree that out of the three spinning instructors Jodi is the best. Why would somebody subject themselves to two spinning class on a Saturday? I can only explain that I was motivated some time during her first class. Jodi is wonderful with getting her students involved and it is funny watching her techniques to start off the class. First she makes sure that your bike is ready to go by helping you adjust the seat or the handlebars. Second she starts right on time, I hate going to a meeting or a training session and it starts late. Jodi does something that when I worked in call centers did to start off my classes, with a motivation saying or some type of question. She uses the same motivational quote at the begging of class and repeats it about half way. I wear a heart rate monitor watch to see how I am doing. I look at it several times to check on my personal progress to just be amazed that fifty minutes have gone by and to say I think I can do better in the next class. Both Jonathan and I did her second class.

Jodi does not know me but during the class she gets off her bike to walk around to help individuals with their posture on the bike or might say in a coy way that maybe you need to increase the tension on your bike. I swear she is a Jedi master using the force on my brain so yes I do increase the bikes tension. I burned over two thousand calories and can not tell you how amazed I was with my own personal growth. I know too many of you this is nothing but to me knowing I could do this mean a lot to my sense of accomplishments.

Monday night is a new chapter as far as a new Personal Trainer. I was able to meet him on Saturday while getting ready to do more cardio on the rowing machine. Our Personal Trainer for the next two weeks is named Eddy. We talked goals and what supplements I am currently taking. I am looking forward to a new chapter working with Eddy. Nothing against Nigel but just curious to see how Eddy plans his workouts for me. My two week goal is to drop 5 pounds so we will see. I will keep you updated.

My shout out has to go out to the staff here in Sacramento at the radio stations. Saturday was a concert fest that was very fun that was being sponsored by one of the stations. The people of Sacramento have been such a great group of people so I am going to miss all of you from this market. Thank you for everything and “The Killers” concert was awesome! They put on a great show with high energy.

I have a poll question about these social networking sites. I have just updated my LinkedIn page. I over heard a conversation while waiting for a plane about how this gentleman found a job. He used his connections on LinkedIn to get the job posting. So the poll question is do you use those sites?

Have a great week and check in will you.
