I know you're faking it.

Listen. The truth is, you can't fool me.

When I'm up on my little stage on my instructor bike, looking down at you, I know when you're faking it.

You're sitting there on your bike, legs flying like a bat out of hell, your chunky ass bouncing all over the place. Why? Because you have no resistance on your bike. None whatsoever.

A couple of weeks from now, you're gonna start to get angry. You're gonna step on the scale and realize you're actually ten pounds fatter than you were before. You're gonna say, "What the fuck?? I've been taking these stupid spin classes and I've GAINED ten pounds??" Yeah, you're gonna be mad. All because you thought you could eat icecream for every meal and still lose weight with the spin classes I claimed were hard.

Well, here is my revelation to you. I am taking time out of my day to tell you that it's your fault. It's an easy equation...no resistance = no calories burned. You can pedal all day with your belly jiggling incessantly if you want, but nothing's ever gonna happen until you reach down to that resistance knob and give it a big ol' turn to the right.

And honestly, no one wants to see you bouncing around up there. You really do look stupid with your 5 billion mile per hour cadence when everyone else around you is climbing a hill.

So do me a favor. No, do the whole class a favor. Turn your resistance up when I tell you to. You might actually accomplish something.

Lots of love.
