Essential Spinning

    10 Push ups is the crime for being late as Iain, Jaime and Charlie have
    realised. They came in with some sob story about being stuck in “Traffic”.
    In Ibiza???

    With Victor nice and early and already in the pool the Essential Team got
    in and it was game on!

    We kicked off the session lightly with Jamiroquai’s “Deeper Underground”
    and started the warm up. Everyone seemed a little lost at first which was
    acceptable as this was new to them. Even though this is Spinning, which
    you would expect to only be using your legs, we start with our arms in the
    water.

    Moving onto The Prodigy “3 Kilos” we start to move up and down and below
    the water (heads above) to stretch out the legs and warm up those Quad and
    Hamstring muscles.

    In came Nuyorican Soul’s “Runaway” to brighten the mood, a song that was
    lost on young Jaime and then Vampires Weekend “A Punk” to pick up the
    speed.

    Bang!! In came Chemical Brothers “Block Rocking Beats” and it was away we
    go, legs spinning, arms pumping infront of the body, pushing the water
    back and forth, side to side then behind and back again, The noise of
    splashing water and deep slap bass riff keep the tempo up and the workout
    intense.

    We slow it down with an old house classic Sub Sub feat Melanie Williams
    “Ain’t no love (ain’t no use)” before jumping off the side of the bikes to
    really work on the arms using the handlebars and the saddle as a dipping
    machine. With one leg out infront and the other down without touching the
    pool floor the guys are bobbing up and down to Carl Cox’s remix of Three
    Drives “Greece 2000″

    Then we get the legs to start splashing up and down to create a huge
    square Jacuzzi and the pool comes alive. Nirvana’s “Been a Son” and then
    GnR’s “Sweet Child O’Mine” get Iain and Charlie singing along to the
    Chorus, even Jaime and he was born in 1990!!!

    We then stepped it up and started spinning with and Old Skool Hardcore
    Classic from Altern8 “Evapor8″ and it was heads down and legs on the move.
    Push, push, push and no stopping until the break where we calmed down for
    no more than a minute and it was full steam ahead once more this time
    bringing arms into the action. Double 99’s “RIP Groove” just for some fun
    and then the last hard push for the day with the Drum and Bass smasher
    from Logistics “Inside My Soul” kicking around at 175bpm it was a sure
    fire tune for these boys to get moving, Jaime did just that as he needed
    to bring his bike back into position having push a metre forward.

    A running private joke for Iain in the tune of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of
    Fire” brings the session to an end and the team seem relieved. Air’s “All
    I need” to stretch and cool down and then it’s a well earned Sauna and
    Steam room before Juice number 3 for the day!

    Day 5 of the detox for Iain, Charlie and Victor and I am super impressed
    with their energy! Keep it up boys, almost there!!!!!!
