How's that for something different?!?! A video to start of Sexy Spin! Those of you that have been riding with me for a while know that I always like to start the year off by playing a mashup of the biggest hits of the previous years. This started a few years ago when DJ Earworm was kind of the trailblazer in this area. DJ Robin Skouteris soon followed with an annual mashup as well. Now there are many djs mashing up the hits of the previous year in many different ways! DJ Robin Skouteris is one of my favorite mashup artists, so I'm so excited to have played his greatest hits of 2015 mashup this morning, "PopLove 4: The Ultimate Mashup of the Hits of 2015". Now, we do this every week in the #totalrequestride on Wednesdays at 9:30am. Riders tweet their favorite songs or videos to @crunchgym followed by the hashtag #totalrequestride. The top 3 songs of each week are compiled by Crunch headquarters in New York and then distributed to the instructors that teach this class all across the country! Talk about being a part of something bigger! So I thought that it would be fun and a great way to bring a little added energy to the 7:00am class. Something a little more fun than usual even! Something that can help you wake up out of your morning fogginess a little faster so that you can get to your workout faster and even faster to your results! That sounds good, doesn't it? Well, I think it went really well this morning, so I may be bringing something of this nature back to class soon. Did you enjoy it? Let me know! Comment below or message me. I look forward to hearing your input! Tony, sorry I didn't play your requested remix of "Pure Imagination", but I did play the original video as a cool down! Sorry you missed it, but thanks for the request. I'll play it soon! Gregory, I know how you love Beyonce' remixes and especially the "Green Light" remix if I remember correctly. Sorry you had to leave early and missed it, too! Dave R., thanks again for your support and contribution to this morning's Sexy Spin! You are awesome! See you all in the next Ride with Tommy! Until then, in good health, tommy

Happy New Year! It is the first Tuesday of 2016. It is the first Peak Performance Ride of 2016. It is my first class back in 2016. A lot of firsts! And an amazing way to get back into the routine or to start a new routine! So many people complain of all the people that join and crowd the gym for the first few weeks or months of a new year. New Year Resolutionists I have heard them called. Getting on a machine is more difficult. Finding parking is more difficult. Doing a superset is near impossible. Well, I say that this is a great thing! Not only are more people trying to do something positive in their lives, trying to improve their lives, and even trying to live healthier, happier and longer lives, but more people in the gym brings a new energy into the gym. That's right. A new and more exciting energy! An energy that is created by people doing something positive. And as I always say in my classes, we can "feed" off of each others' energy! That's is why I stress creating a POSITIVE energy in class. Sure, there is so much negative energy out there. You can let the added wait for a specific machine get you mad or frustrated. But you know what? You don't have to. CHOOSE to focus on the positive! Think about how that person that may be on the exact machine that you want may just be following a doctor's orders. That person may have a personal issue that has prevented them from working out in a gym setting and preventing them from working out to improve their life. Well, the beginning of the year may have just brought them to the gym to work at what you may already have. A healthy body. A healthy mind. A positive attitude. A positive outlook. Instead of being frustrated, celebrate them! Celebrate the positive energy! Celebrate the new year! Celebrate your own new beginnings! Change is only made with a commitment. Whatever gets a person to that place where that commitment can be made and a positive change can be made, that should be celebrated! I hope to see you and to celebrate with you in class this week! And the next! And the next! And the many weeks after that! Let's do this! Let's do this now! In good health, tommy
