Ngaba Ukukhwela ibhayisekile Ngaphakathi Kukukuzilolonga Okulungileyo?

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

I-Sandwiched phakathi kwe-Jane Fonda kunye ne-Pilates amashumi eminyaka, ukujikeleza yayiyiklasi ye-gym eshushu ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yamashumi asithoba emva koko kwabonakala ngathi kuphuma ngokukhawuleza kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini. Xa uninzi lweefashoni zokomelela komzimba zisifa, ziyafa zintle kakhulu (ukuhamba, ukutyibilika okanye ukudibanisa iiklasi komnye umntu?). Kungenxa yoko le nto ndiye ndothuswa kukuvuselelwa kokujikeleza okwenzekayo.

Izitudiyo ezincinci zepokotho ezinikezelwe ngokukodwa kwiibhayisikile zangaphakathi ezinje ngeSoulCycle kunye neFly Wheel ziye zaba ngoomazibuthe abadumileyo. Izihlalo zigcinelwe iintsuku kwangaphambili kwaye abafundisi baqokelela iziseko zabalandeli abanoburharha. Nkqu neeklasi kwindawo yokuzivocavoca rhoqo kunye neeYMCA zipakishwe kwakhona. Ayisiyonto enkulu nje yesixeko nokuba- ndijongile nabahlobo kwilizwe liphela abandixelelayo ukuba babona kwa into enye. Kwaye ndiyazi ukuba i-SoulCycle icwangcisa ukwandiswa okukhulu kwiindawo zasezidolophini.

Ukubona ukuba yintoni enika, ndaye ndagqiba ekubeni ndizame iiklasi ezimbalwa. Ndandinomdla wokufumanisa ukuba ingaba abantu bebethontelana ngenxa yezizathu ezingekho mthethweni ngendlela efanayo abaninzi abasazithandayo iibhulukhwe ezinde zikaRichard Simmons, okanye kukho uhlobo oluthile lohlaziyo olwenza i-Spin-aka studio yebhayisikile-efanelekileyo kwakhona.

Iklasi yokuqala endiyibethileyo yayikwiSoulCycle eseManhattan esezantsi. Kwanangaphambi kokuba ndifike kwidesika engaphambili, ndaye ndabona ukuba abathathi-nxaxheba bajonga ixesha labo lokukhwela ibhayisikile njengeyona ndlela yokubila. Wonke umntu owayelinde ukungena kwigumbi lokufundela wayethetha ngovuyo, ngokucacileyo ejijisiwe malunga nokukhwela. Bajonga yonke iseshoni yemizuzu engama-45 njengesiganeko esibonisa ihlelo lokuziphatha lomqeqeshi.

Ndiyabona ukuba kutheni. Iklasi kaLaura yayinocelomngeni, nangona yayigcwele ukutsiba okufanayo, i-sprints kunye neenduli kunye nomculo ongxolayo ngokugqithisileyo endiwukhumbulayo kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo. Umahluko ophambili, ubuncinci kwiiklasi endandihlala ndizithatha, kukuba wayengoyena mntu ulonwabisa ngaphezu komqeqeshi womzimba. Nangona kungekho qeqesho lukhulu luqhubekileyo, uninzi lwe-rap yakhe yayimalunga nokukhumbula injongo yakho kunye nokumba nzulu ukuze ufumane into oyizeleyo, uhlobo lwentetho enokundicaphukisa ivela kwintombazana yegolide yebhola yokukhanya ye-yoga kodwa kwabanye Isizathu besilungile siphuma emlonyeni kaLaura. Andiqinisekanga ukuba kutheni enikezela ngokuzinzileyo kokuvuma kwakhe ubuqu kodwa ndiyavuma ukuba iyincedile indawo yokuzivoxa ibhabha.

Ukufudukela kwi studio yeFlywheel embindini wedolophu ndacinga ukuba ndiza kufumana enye efanayo - kodwa bendiphazama. Le ndawo ingaphantsi kwesigcawu kwaye ngakumbi kwi-hangout yembaleki enzulu. Apha iibhayisekile zinokufundwa okuqhotyoshelweyo ukunika ingxelo yomkhweli ngesantya kunye namandla. Kwi-twist eyoyikisayo kodwa ekhuthazayo, ezi khomputha zincinci zondla kwiscreen esiphambi kwegumbi lokufundela ukuze wonke umntu abone ukuba umzamo wabo udibana njani nowomnye umntu.

Khange ndibambe igama lomyaleli kwaye andifundanga nto ngobomi bakhe. Kwaye ndithetha ukuba ngendlela elungileyo. Uchithe uninzi lweklasi ekhwaza i-cadence kunye neenjongo ezibukhali kwaye ekhonkotha ngathi njengesajini ye-drill ukugcina iinjongo ezichaziweyo. Ukubona amanani am-kwaye nokwazi ukuba wonke umntu angazibona nawo-kundenze ndangxama ukuqhubeka. Emva kwemizuzu engama-45, ndandimanzi kukubila. Andiqondi ukuba bendinokuhlala eminye imizuzu eli-10.

Ukuthatha ezi klasi kundenze ndazibuza ukuba kutheni ibhayisikile yangaphakathi iphuma ngesitayile. Inika iseshoni ye-aerobic eyoyikekayo, engenampembelelo etshisa iikhalori ze-mega (malunga ne-450 yeekhalori kwimizuzu ye-45 ngokweBhunga laseMelika lokuSebenza) kunye neethoni zakho kunye namathanga akho njengomsebenzi oqingqiweyo.

Njengoko ndiyibona, zimbini iindlela zokuhamba ngebhayisikile yeqela. Ukuba ujonge ukubetha kwentliziyo yakho Kumbaya mzuzu, uya kukhetha uhlobo lwamava eSoulCycle. Kwaye ukuba ukwiphulo lokubulala iikhalori, iklasi yohlobo lweFlywheel iya kwenza kakuhle. Ke mna, ndiceba ukuziphosa kumjikelo wokujikeleza rhoqo ngoku ukusukela ngoku.

Uthini ngawe? Ngaba ukhona umntu okwaziyo ukutshintsha ukuphakama kwesihlalo kwenye yezi bhayisekile ejikelezayo ngaphandle kwesando kunye nokuqalekisa okuninzi? Ndingathanda ukuva iingcinga zakho malunga nokuba ingaba kukuzilolonga na okulungele ukuzilwela ngokwakho kubhodisi wezemidlalo. Ndicime apha ngezantsi okanye ndibhale i-tweet kum.
