Just done my first spin class in the Middle East – Morocco to be exact. It was a blast. The same…..
Pleasingly muscular instructor, wearing a skimpy singlet
Hill climbing and sprints
Sweat, whooping and some high class whingeing
Throbby music and disco lights

And yet SO different….
Women wearing Headscarfs (Hegabs) with their lycra
Instructions in a mixup of Arabic and French
Group singalong to the good bits (I didn’t know the words sadly but there were quite a few “God”s and “Habibi”s in there)
Some excellent full armsabovethehead Freddie Mercury style clapping

As Miranda’s Ma might say, “Such Fun!”
