Today will involve an hour long spin and the last of this week's of strength based Synergise classses. That's a made up word that is supposed to signify the synergy between yoga, Pilates and T'ai Chi, but when I teach this bad boy it's pretty much all Yoga.
We'll go with a semi-sun salutation warm-up that moves into a downward dog based routine. Then I'll do crow (check that out, nice party piece that one), lunge and balance and a one legged dog and finish with boat pose to four legged table. Still with me?
Before that though comes spin. Have a track list:
Donna Summer - I feel love
The Boo Radleys - Wake up Boo!
Graham Coxon - Don't let your man know
Ice-T - Midnight
Buggles - Video KIlled the Radio Star
Yomanda -Synth & Strings
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
PF Project - Choose Life
Boney M - Rasputin
Jacques Offenbach - French Cancan
You like? You wanna go now, and have me shout at you because as per fucking usual the mic is not working, don't you?
I like using 'Chosose Life' on a Sunday as it contains the Ewan McGregor monologue from Trainspotting including the lines 'wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning'.
Despite the length it's a pretty gentle class with no intervals or crazy attacking climbs. 'Rasputin', my current favourite song of all time will be the toughest as it's a gradually increasing hill which goes 30 seconds seated, 30 seconds standing for six long minutes. Ra ra!

Why do I feel guilty for liking Donna Summer?
Always have since I was a pre-teen badass.
And "Rasputin" rocks the fuck out.
I feel no guilt. That's a ground-breaking track, that one.
