Does anybody out there remember that group exercise class called Slide? Did anybody take it? Did anyone enjoy it? Does anybody miss it? Do any of you care?
I miss Slide. My first class I ever taught was a 7:00am Slide and Sculpt class. I taught it to three people; one of whom I saw the other day - hence the inspiration for this blog entry. Slide was one of the toughest classes around. There was no way to cheat. You had to push yourself laterally across this slide board with some amount of control and speed. Many a students have flown off the slide board. I used to walk out of slide class absolutely drenched and exhausted BUT ready for more.
These new classes (kickbox, trampoline, pilates) just don't do the same thing. Don't get me wrong: all classes have their place and I mean that honestly. It's just that Slide was really something special for cardio-freaks like me. It was not easy at all and was, at it's very least, challenging. Maybe that's why it's gone. Whaddya say? Let's bring it back!!!! Anybody for Slide? Later.
