A cool workout or cruel and unusual?
Amanda is at home today, wondering how many calories there are in Tamiflu.
But I'm in the office, happy to have found these in our vending machine.
I'm also laughing at this piece on karaoke spin classes my colleague Sonja Elmquist sent me from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Mick Jagger's voice fills the tiny room, crooning "Ruby Tuesday." A voice from the back calls out, "Is that the Beatles?" Her classmates fill her in. Next, as the Stones start "You Can't Always Get What You Want," McCool-Fry makes the words come true when she tells the class to adjust the resistance on their bikes to "riding somewhere between mud and quicksand." The cyclers comply. As the workout increases in intensity, another voice calls out, "We need Prince to get us through this." Everyone laughs.
Part of me thinks this would be a blast. But another part of me suspects it would be joining the humiliation of not being very fit witht he humiliation of not being able to sing very well.
And I'd be out the door the moment they played "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John...
