WINTER TRAINING

Looking forward to becoming awesome.

I'm really gonna miss plyometrics.... When a week after the first workout, i need to hold on to the railing going down a staircase, with both hands, it means the workout was awesome.

and i also still have your black rain jacket!

So that nobody is scared by Nick, I learned a lot from last year. It shouldn't hurt that bad... maybe sometimes, but not always. :).

I would like to let everybody know that the times have been confirmed. Looking forward to it all. Just to get everybody excited. Here is a box jump.

Imagine if he clipped in and stomped on a pedal.

That's plyo. (p.s. you won't look like that unless you enjoy butter as a side dish)

will anybody else be certified for spinning this winter, if not and if you need a replacement I would be glad to give a hand, Im transfering to mcgill this semester and Im already an instructor for studiocycle (certified be fida)

Greetings Patrick. I believe McGill athletics needs spin instructors for their recreation courses. I said I was too busy on my own, but with more certified instructors, MCT might be able to have a class and earn money. I can give you the contact information if your interested.

Also it would be great to look at our schedules and leading styles so we can get us all in the best shape for racing during the two we already have scheduled. Thanks for letting us know your certified because we all learn from each other.

if you could give me the information that'd me great.
as for my scedhule i have a break on mondays ans wednesdays from 10:30 to 1:30 otherwise I am free weekdays after 3:30 (unless I am scheduled for work at my spinning class). likewise, I am looking forward to comparing our styles as instructors.

on a different note: since I will be paying membership this year to be part of the mcgill cycling team, will i have access to the fitness center or just the spinning room

thanks alot

I will get the information for you this afternoon. I'm going to go to athletics and try to chat with Perry Karnofsky, the head of the campus recreation committee.

Also the Fitness center question is a good one. The short answer is no. McGill Cycling does not receive free access to any of the facilities. We are just normal students who need to pay for things like everybody else.

Examples. We can book the spin room, or aerobics room (as we have) but we cannot just go in there whenever. We can pay $40 per year to use the fitness center, but we are not allowed in the Varsity weight room. The pool is free to any students when it is during "recreational swim" times of the day.

well I guess I should stop using the varsity weight room then.

for the 40$/year is that a cycling team special, cause if I am not mistaken that is the price for every mcgill student right?

McGill cycling has no special deals with athletics, so when we are not competing we are just normal students.

Hey adam. What About Non-Student Members. I.e. the ones Racing over the summer with the Fqsc?

They would have to pay a monthly fee for the fitness center that is high (I've been told its cheaper to go to a YMCA). I'll talk with security there to make sure non-students are going to be able to get into the building for spinning and Plyo without any trouble.

It is true that spinning and Plyo people will be able to get into the building if they are not from McGill, but not get into the fitness center for the power training.

Just an update. I completed the spinning orientation and am now a spin instructor. I learned things, was retaught others and am pumped.

PLYO in 10 Days. Time to start dreaming about jumping.

PLYOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOMORROW?!

I'll be a bit late (meeting til 8'ish') but will so be there. It's in the large aerobics room?
Also, don't make it hurt too badly since KOM is Thurs

GREETINGS.

It is in the Large Aerobics room. The one lower than ground floor in the basement.

Veronica makes a great point. If you are on the fence about whether to do Plyo or KOM choose KOM, we'll be doing this all winter and you won't miss out.

Difficulty level. Scale 1 - 10

Three Choices of how hard to push.

1) Come to half one 8 - 9:10 ~5
break from 9:10 - 9:20
2)Come to half two 9:20 - 10:20 ~7
3) Come to both ~ 8
4) Come to both + KOM next morning ~9

10 is like warp 10 in Star trek, unless your in an alternate time line, or a ridiculous voyager episode you just don't get there. Eventually we will try.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A MCGILL ID CARD... say hello on this thread and I'll give a list to the security guard. When you get to the building tell him your part of McGill Cycling and your name. He will let you in.

P.S. I expect some people to show up. I did book us a room that can hold 40. Me by myself would look silly.

i'll be there for both halves

i cant come this week, but i would like to come in the future for both spinning/plyo, so i would like my name on that list!!

I'll be there for the second half.

I don't think I'll ever be able to make Plyo untill maybe next semester, when is the Spinning?

Hull Breach Imminent.

Divert more power to the deflector, or slam on the brakes.

hi,
I am a newbie. I am wondering when the plyo and spin classes start? I haven't paid my club fees yet. How do I go about putting my name on the list? cheers, leanne

Fees can be paid to me (Adam) at these Plyo Sessions. Plyo is now regular at 8 PM - 10:30 PM Wednesday nights. Spinning will start in November.

I was going to pay veronica for the fees on thursday, but can i give you my money for the team fees and clothing order to you adam? can you email me patrickboudreau@live.ca

Greetings. I am sick as a dog and tried to be perky enough to at least come shout a workout at you guys even though I can't do it but I can not (was fine this morning).

I'm leaving the responsibility of leading to somebody who has come regularly and knows the routine. Warm up, Jump, Core. Repeat with higher jumping for round 2. Sorry everybody.

Adam.

P.S. (This is for Wednesday Nov. 24)

I won't be there tonight. I'm working so I won't be able to take charge

I'm never again doing pushups before leaving. Barely could hold on to the handlebars on the way home :)

Hey I'm wondering if I can come check out some of the spin and plyometrics classes now before I "officially join" and pay in January. Would that be cool? Do I just show up? Thanks!
