Yeah, that's what this blog is about.

Lindsey is working part time at the HYPER Building here at USU.  The HYPER is basically the athletic center, along with the Field House.  So she is exposed to a lot of athletic programs will at work.  One of the programs is called Fun, Fit, For Life.  It's basically classes you can attend and work out for an hour.  Some of the classes include dance, yoga, core workout, and spinning.

Once Lindsey learned about this program she immediately wanted to join in the fun.  She came home and let me know very subtely about her interest.  Eventually I said that we could try it out, but I had a few reservations.  All I could picture was an environment like the one featured in this video:



I have been road biking all summer with my dad so I figured spinning would be a good place to start.  So last night we went over to the Field House to join the class.  There were several people already in the exercise room.  The instructor was a little late, apparently because he was a substitute for the normal guy.  He was an interesting guy, I don't think anyone in the class could really tell what his preference was.  This made for an uncomfortable situation when he went around the class and adjusted the machines for everyone while mentioning to me to make sure my seat was correctly positioned to protect my groin.  Then he decided he was too far away from the class and needed to move his machine closer.  Of course he then moved his machine directly in front of me so we could stare at each other for the next hour.  Eventually we started biking and the European techno music began.  The workout began fine, but then the instructor decided to really get into it and sing along over the microphone.  Luckily, this didn't last long but kept occurring randomly over the next hour.

After the work out was over we did a few stretches.  At this point Lindsey said she wasn't feeling too good and sat down.  After awhile she got up, but she was still feeling wierd.  The instructor suggested that we walk around the track a little to cool down.  So we started walking, but Lindsey started to wobble a little and then bolted out a side door.  I followed her outside and found here throwing up in a bush.  She ended up throwing up five times.    Luckily we were right next to one of the busiest intersections on campus.

It wasn't all bad though.  Lindsey thought it was kind of funny because of something we saw a few days earlier.  We were walking though a parting lot and a kid threw up across the parking lot.  The kid had some force behind it, so we had been joking about projectile vomiting ever since.  Little did we know...

Eventually we got Lindsey home and she started to feel a little better.  So our first Fun, Fit, For Life experience was a huge success.  But now that Lindsey has recovered she has decided we are going back next week.
