Alas....back to Ride the Zone

I was so happy to walk through the door of Marion's studio today. After taking a break due to being under the work, and receiving numerous emails from my spin buds awaiting my return....today was the day. I needed to sweat like I do when I spin and I needed to close my eyes and zone out to a some of my favorite spin tunes. All is now good in my world.

Marion Roaman's Perfect 45 Minute Ride

[Scream! Marion Roaman, Million Minute Month Spirit Guide and world class spinning instructor, has just sent over her "Perfect 45 Minute Ride" playlist. Did you need a push to hop on your bike, or to go for a run? Boom! Perhaps Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Pink, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers could be of some help. Grab iPod. Go. ~ The Eds.]

Snapshot

Kaitlyn Swears By Brazilian Workout Wear

Every day, we give you a snapshot of one fellow striver in fitness. We ask personal questions, he or she boldly answers. Today's snapshot: Kaitlyn.

• What would you do if you had all the time/ability in the world? Easy! Swim with the dolphins off of Fernando de Neronah in Brazil, climb Mt. Kilamanjaro in Africa, and Machu Picchu in Peru.
• What's the best thing in your gym bag? A dry pair of leggings and long sleeve T-Shirt. After a sweaty ride at Ride the Zone I am drenched; putting on dry clothing feels so good.

Ride the Zone Spins into the Million Minute Month

The Million Minute Month begins in eight days. As previously discussed, we aim to mobilize America to log one million minutes of excercise. To do so, we've called on friends of the site — leaders in their fields — to rally their respective communities. These "Spirit Guides" have started to arrive, by land, sea, and air. Today, we're delighted to introduce (or re-introduce) Marion Roaman, one of the top spinning teachers in the country, who has joined our crusade, and is bringing with her the Ride the Zone community from New York to the Hamptons. Welcome RTZ people! And here's an exciting thing: Marion has offered a FREE Ride the Zone spin to anyone who signs up for the challenge today. Curious? Join up, and then comment on this post and let us know you did. We'll shoot you the free ride!

Happy Day

So I took Carrie's 8:30 this morning at Ride the Zone and picked up a message from my dear friend, Monica from Brazil! Querida! She's in town. We had a lovely lunch earlier this afternoon and I walked up Madion avenue towards home. All of a sudden, I noticed this random guy trying to walk next to me and he started chatting with me, he was a bit off.

Riding the double with Carrie

ride the zone, 7:30-9:15: Carrie's double shot is always a great start to the day. A tough workout with great tunes and laughs along the ride make the crazy ride fly by. Tough switch backs, cyko climb, and tons of races while adding resistance. Love her!

Own it, Climb it, Burn it: Make. It. Happen.

Yesterday's 8:30 spin with Marion was incredible. The energy lately has reached a new level. The sets of arm pulses we've been doing still burn like crazy, but when I glanced around the room as we were doing our fourth set of 50, I was amazed by how strong everyone looked. We also did 100 push ups like it was normal to be doing push ups while sprinting down hill.
