A dance video from "Jerry Springer: The Opera"?!?! Is that even a thing? Yes it is! #jerryspringertheopera It was a big hit in London. Not so much here in the States. But from it comes this amazing song. One of my favorite spin songs. And a favorite of many of my Ride with Tommy! regulars! In the musical, it is about a woman pursuing her life's dream of becoming a exotic dancer. However, it quickly became an unofficial anthem for the gay community having dealt with the AIDS epidemic. "I'm tired of laughing and I'm tired of crying, I'm tired of failing and I'm tired of all this trying, I wanna do some living, Cause I've done enough dying, I just wanna dance, I just wanna f***ing dance!" The song itself starts slow and builds to a wild and fast pace. The video compiles snippets of dancing throughout a history of movies and television. It is so much fun! I love the video. I love the message. I love the song! And what a way to start this week's #totalrequestride! Then we followed this epic video with a new song by MAX, whose songs I have been playing for a while now. He is an actor and singer from the Nickolodeon world, modeled with Madonna on a Dolce & Gabbana campaign, and has become a Youtube star along with his cousin Kirk Schneider. I've played several of their covers as cool downs. But this song and video are a lot of fun and provide a great uptempo beat which is great to ride to! And then you can never go wrong for high energy and fun with a Black Eyed Peas video, in this case, "Pump It". Then after we finished playing the videos in the beginning of class, I tried to keep the fun and energy going with the remainder of the track list. And the riders in class certainly brought the energy, focus and determination to make an amazing difference today! If you haven't participated in a #totalrequestride yet, come join us @crunchgym on Sunset! An intense, form-focused and fun workout! Hope to see you in class soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

Out with the old! In with the new! Oldies but goodies! Everything old is new again. So many things can be classified as old or new. But so much of today's fresh and new music is built upon or shaped and formed by the music of the past. Whether old music is sampled in new songs, remixed or covered by today's new artists, there is no denying that the music of today can be strongly influenced by the music and artists of the past. This can also be applied to workouts. It seems that there is always a new and fresh take on an old workout. Whether it be spinning, weight training or body sculpting classes, gyms, trainers and instructors are always working to have the newest and shiniest trends offered in their classes or instructions. However, if you boil it down, there is often the very same basic principles at play. The tried and true basics. The time-tested methods. And I won't even go into the applications of this thought process to people other than to say that the young, fresh-faced, "wet behind the ears" generation can certainly benefit from the experience and knowledge of the people that came before them. So, I guess what I want someone to be able to take away from this "gibberish" that I'm spewing forth, is that once again, there is so much to celebrate in finding the positive and beneficial aspects present in life. The young, the new, the creative, the bold, the shocking, the older, the vintage, the antique: all of these are valuable, helpful, beneficial, great, awesome, fun and exciting! So have a blast in life celebrating all of the old that is new again. There is always a reason to celebrate. Whether that reason is brand new or recycled; just out of the box or closer to having a foot in the grave; bright and shiny or needing a gentle rub to discover the possibilities that lie underneath; just remember to celebrate! Your life will be much better for it. Just don't sit down and let it pass you by! Get up, get out and workout! Ride with Tommy! I hope to see you in class soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

No (technical) glitches! Yes! This morning's #totalrequestride @crunchgym on Sunset was a blast! And on top of that, there were no technical glitches (neither caused by the user (me!) or those that are out of user control!) So a big "yay!" And yes, I am celebrating the fact that there were no technical glitches. Yes, glitches should be so rare that the lack of them should not be a reason to celebrate, but as most of you know by now, there is always something to celebrate! And isn't it much more fun to find the reasons to celebrate and then increase the happiness and positivity by sharing those reasons rather than focus on what can and does go wrong and bringing yourself and others down? It's very much like your workout. Instead of focusing on how difficult it can be or how much pain you go through when actually, physically going through your exercises, why not focus on the positive benefits of your workout? The results that you are going to or already have obtained? In my classes, you will often hear me talk of the positive aspects of class. And it is so important to feel the benefits of the positive energy that is created when you focus on the workout/the Ride along with everyone else in class instead of doing your own thing which very often can be very different from what the rest of the class is doing! That "doing your own thing" can be a huge distraction and can then be a very negative action. So, when everyone in class commits to the Ride/the workout, wouldn't you rather be a part of the positive energy and the positive change? Wouldn't you rather benefit from the positive energy and obtaining more results as a member of the class while making that commitment? I know I would. And I hope that the Ride with Tommy! riders would too! 'Cuz there is already so much in life that is out of our control and very often negative. Take every chance you get to focus on the positive. Celebrate the positive! See the glass as half full, not half empty! Share the positive with the people around you or the people that you meet everyday! Multiply that positive energy! It can spread exponentially! Wouldn't you rather be a part of something like that? You can! It's up to you! Just do it!

This morning's class was kinda special. There were a fewer number of people there than usual. So I decided to take a little different approach to the Threshold Ride today. We did the warm up. We worked hard to set our thresholds for the usual 3-minute period. But then, I went to each person in class, face to face, and asked them what was one thing they would like to specifically work on in class this morning. I gave everyone the option to opt-out if they wanted, but everyone participated! And it was an amazing experience! I LOVED the input! I had people say they wanted to work on their endurance. I had some say they wanted to work on their power. Some said they wanted to work on their bodies. I had one woman say that wanted to focus on her "me" time. I followed that up by asking her if she had kids. Yes, she did. A toddler and an infant less than a year old. Oh I get it! I totally get it! I even had someone say that they wanted to work on showing the guy that broke up with them yesterday what they were missing! Yes! It is that focus on yourself that is so vitally important, because a workout is truly just that, time to work on yourself. It is so important to take the time to provide yourself with that "me" time. To improve and strengthen yourself. To change your mental feeling and outlook. To change your physical body in a way that will make you feel better about you! And it can happen right here in the Ride with Tommy! @crunchgym Crunch Fitness - Sunset. But you have to take the time. And often it is not easy. But life is all about balance. You can give and give of yourself for hours and hours at a time during the day...to your kids...your husband or your wife...your boss...your co-workers...your friends. But unless you take the time to commit to being the best you that you can be, then you won't be able to give the others in your life the best you either! So which do you want to do? The classes are here. @crunchgym is here. @ridewithtommy is here. Make the effort to take the time to create a better you. The best you. Don't you want it? I know others want and deserve the best you that can be. You deserve it! Make it happen! Just do it! See you in class soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

What an awesome class! Thanks to everyone that was there and thanks for staying focused with some distractions at the beginning of class. I had such a great class planned. I wanted to try just a few different things. However, technology didn't have the same plans. The resulting bumps in getting started a couple of minutes late and slow transitions between videos and not being able to play all the videos I had planned, well, I was frustrated and disappointed. But you guys were awesome as always and I soon forgot all about any technical issues and had a great Ride with all of you! Especially when one of you asked for an additional song and almost the entire class agreed! I am almost never one to say no to an extra song! Bonus! And you know what is another bonus? The health and fitness benefits that you gain from staying focused and determined to get the best workout possible. And not just your physical health but your mental health as well. I am not a psychologist nor a psychiatrist (and I haven't even played one or the other on TV! lol!) but I can attest to the mental benefits that intense physical workouts provide. Throughout life, there are times when you need an extra push mentally. Whether it be reqarding family, friends, work or even your workouts, a Ride can help you push the stagnation, the distractions, the disappointments, the worry, or even the blahs out of the forefront of your mind and replace it with euphoria, pride, (good) exhaustion, (new...and better) focus, a positive outlook and a renewed determination to make the best you possible! Just like when you make the best of a less than great situation, you can make the best you possible whenever things work against you. Often, you will be surprised at how great things can turn out. Like I was in class this morning. So again, thank you to all of you! You continue to inspire me and push and challenge me to be a better instructor. So let's do it all again tomorrow! Sexy Spin at 7:00am, Thursday. Hope to see you there! Until then, in good physical and mental health, tommy

It is raining in Los Angeles! A lot! Yay! We definitely need it1 But that makes getting around in LA a little crazy. Thanks so much to everyone who braved the elements this morning and made it to the Peak Performance Ride @crunchgym on Sunset. We had a great Ride! A great workout! A great energy by everyone that was in the room! And we all committed, focused and challenged ourselves while pushing ourselves to the next level. While striving to reach our goals and obtain results. And while having fun! In the Peak Performance Ride, we tend to focus a little bit more on resistance work. Which will push your heart rate up higher. Which will make you burn more calories. Which, can in turn, make you burn more bodyfat! And again, all this while having fun! Did you just read that right? Yes you did! You can do so much good, working intensely, sweating like crazy, reaching the point that you think that you just can't do anymore, and still have fun! You can have a blast getting right on that beat with each and every pedal stroke! Moving your upper body right on the rhythm. Almost dancing while forcing your legs to push harder to get through the resistance. Getting stronger. Making a change in your body. Making a change in your mental perspective. Oh there is so much we can do. So, let's do it! Together. In the Ride with Tommy! Whether the weather calls for rain or sunshine, make plans now to be there and be prepared to make a positive difference in your life. And to have fun! Until then, in good health, tommy

We are back and running full force for the fall! The kids are back in school; there is a nice crispness in the air; Starbucks is officially serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes (#therealpsl)! Wait, it was over 100 degrees in parts of Los Angeles today. Something is not right here. Well, at least the kids are in school and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back! At least we can still plan our days at the beach...probably still for the next month or two! So, with that still being a possibility, let's keep our beach bodies on point! That's right, don't lose all that you have gained while getting in shape for the peak of this pool party period. Or don't gain back all that you worked so hard to lose! Whatever your goals have been for the summer, don't let the hint, the possibility, the threat of fall weather approaching allow you to lose sight of those goals! Hey! Get this, you could also use this time as a time of renewal. A starting point for new goals. A fresh start. Wipe the slate clean. Begin again. Remember, being healthy is not a fad. It is a lifestyle. Not something to focus on temporarily and then forget. Let's take this time to stay committed, stay focused, stay determined to maintain a healthy way of life. New year resolutions in January? Goals for spring break? Beach body for the summer? How about providing a change in your workout while still fervently focusing on physical fitness in the fall? Work hard for the mental and physical health and well-being that comes along with a fit body and mind! Let's do this! Let's keep improving! Let's keep working intensely, staying focused on form, and having fun! Be a part of the Ride with Tommy! Beginners welcomed. Experienced riders challenged. And everyone in between contributes to the overall success of the class! Threshold Ride on Mondays at 9:30am and Saturdays at 9:45am. Peak Performance Ride on Tuesdays at 7:00am. #totalrequestride on Wednesdays at 9:30am. Sexy Spin on Thursdays at 7:00am. Regular rides on Fridays at 9:30am. Lots of opportunities to make a positive difference or a positive change. In this morning's #totalrequestride @crunchgym on Sunset, I took requests for favorite videos from the floor! Yes, as I couldn't predict every video that would be requested, I had to use Youtube. So yes, there were once again some commercials to which we had to listen. Thankfully, some of them were for new music! But we also had to contemplate how our insurance broker was treating us and if we were in good or the right hands! Oh well, thanks to those that were not shy and requested videos! Taylor Swift! Justin Bieber! Duran Duran! Demi Lovato! It was awesome! I hope to see you in class soon! Until then, in good health, tommy

Nothing like a commercial popping up in spin class! Yup, that's what happened today @crunchgym on Sunset! I was having some technical issues at home downloading videos to play in this morning's #totalrequestride. So, I thought, no big deal. I'll just play them directly off of Youtube during class. Well, there are several reasons why playing videos directly off of Youtube are less than ideal in a spin class, but the absolute worst has to be the occasional advertisement that is played at the beginning of every other video played on Youtube. Sure, you can skip some of the ads after 5 seconds. But needless to say, that doesn't do anything to contribute to the smooth and continuous play of music that is desired in an effective spin class. And I'm not even going to mention the fact that the commercial is for pizza! Ugh! True story! Oh well, you live and learn. And by being a part of a spin class, you will live longer. In my classes I hope every rider learns a little more about their body. A little more about how to workout properly. A little more about their goals and how best to reach them. So yes, we live and learn. It is my goal that in every Ride with Tommy! class, that everyone learns more about what can actually add to your length of life and to make that added time healthier and happier. So, I guess this is actually an advertisement for the Ride with Tommy! Not one for pizza, but an ad for a way to live longer, happier and healthier. That's all there is to it! That's all you have to do! See you in class soon! Until then...in good health! tommy

So, I guess this is actually an advertisement for the Ride with Tommy! Not one for pizza, but an ad for a way to live longer, happier and healthier. That's all there is to it! That's all you have to do! See you in class soon! Until then...in good health! tommy
