Spinning Class

The other day I was talking on the phone with my mom and we got to talking about the topic of exercise.

As usual. We are always trying to find things to motivate us and keep us going - things to help us be healthier.

I commented to her that there are a few women in my ward that go to the spinning class at the neighborhood rec center. Not quite sure if she knew the term "spinning," I asked if she did so I could clarify if I needed to. She assured me she knew what I was talking about, so I proceeded with our conversation. (For anyone who might not know, it's a group cycling class).



I told her about how the ladies in my ward were encouraging me to join them, and that I told them I would in an upcoming class (which I haven't yet but fully intend to!) but that I wanted to watch as I ran the track to see what it was all about. I told my mom that it looked like so much fun - that it looks like something I would love to do.

She laughed.

I asked her what was so funny, and she told me she never thought of me as the domestic type. Now I was the confused one. "Domestic?" I asked. "Are you sure you know what spinning is?"

Come to find out, she thought I was going to start spinning wool at the rec center with the ladies in the ward.



I asked her why in the world there would be a wool spinning class at the rec center. She just figured they had all kinds of classes there, not just work out classes. So I laughed, too, and proceeded to explain what spinning at a gym is. We have some funny conversations sometimes, my mom and I.

I am thinking of coming out with a line of workout clothes that I spin from wool... that you can wear while spinning at the gym. If only I were the domestic type.
