00:11Hi, welcome to Refinery29, I'm Connie and this is Connie Cam, and today we are at SoulCycle
00:16with Marvin.
00:18Hey guys.
00:19He's going to walk me through my first session ever.
00:21As an exercise noob, I'm a little bit nervous.
00:24Can I tell you a little bit about my current exercise?
00:27Tell me, tell me.
00:27It's nothing.
00:28If it's your first time, you probably are going to keep coming back because it gets
00:31addictive.
00:32Explain the soul part of SoulCycle.
00:34SoulCycle is kind of like a cardio party indoor cycling class, and three words that we kind
00:40of live by in our mantra is a mind-body cardio.
00:42So that in itself makes it kind of a unique experience because you don't really think
00:46of doing cardio and having kind of a mind-body type of approach to it, but in our class it's
00:51nothing to do with competition, it's all about riding as a pack, as one team, and we try to
00:56motivate each other, and in that sense you kind of just zone out.
00:59We ride in the dark with candles lit, and in that sense you just don't have to worry
01:04about anyone or anything, no comparison, no compromise, and then that way you kind of
01:08get a great workout and kind of like a mental release at the same time.
01:11Well, besides getting like a soul workout, it seems like what actually does it do to your
01:15body?
01:16We do a full body workout versus other indoor cycling classes.
01:19So you don't get like big legs and spiggly arms.
01:21So I'm going to tell you to drop it in a saddle, and you're going to grab your hand weights,
01:24and then we're also going to grab weights and do like an arm segment.
01:27It's crazy intense, but I think you're going to be a good one.
01:29We'll have like a napping pod afterwards.
01:31Well, so I think I'm ready.
01:33Am I ready?
01:33You ready to go?
01:34You ready to do this?
01:35Yeah.
01:35Let's get it done.
01:36All right, cool.
01:37See ya.
01:37We in the city of champions.
01:39You think that it can be, here it can be done.
01:41P-I-G-T-S-E-U-R-G-A, we've been back.
01:44We are in the city of champions.
01:48We're in the city of champions.
01:52You think that it can be, here, it can be done.
01:54P-I-T-T-S, D-U-R-T-S, we the best
01:57Yeah, we M-P-A, feelin' still okay
01:59Come on, clear the way, 412 all day
02:00And we movin' here, nocturnal is near
02:02Grab an iron beam, shakin' with no fear
02:04We dying time, rocket to the grind
02:07Whiz, heat, spread a sign
02:08Boys, you were shot down
02:10Now we're in the famous town
02:12Buyin' up a rhyme, brickin' heavy, givin' pines
02:15Perkin' dunnies, stackin' nines
02:17Steel was once a pride, New York City, dirt's inside
02:19Up for rivers, kinda mine
02:21And now it's our time
02:24See, we got six rings, yeah, that's my town
02:26We don't need to spread it all around
02:27And we makin' rockets to the moon, we down
02:29DJ huggin' bonnet, baby, gettin' it down
02:30Got the Stanley Cup, we don't give a what
02:32Done a shadow lounge, we doin' it but
02:34Not ladies, draw out the hybrid truck
02:35Yeah, the hybrid stuff, we still feel the fun
02:38So I just finished my first 45-minute class
02:40And it was white, I'm pooped
02:44My arms and my legs feel like jello
02:46Everything kind of, you know, feels like it's gonna be a lot worse tomorrow
02:49But it was definitely a workout like I've never had before
02:53It's definitely worth trying, especially if you like working out in a big grove
02:57You know, doing things together, listening to good music
02:59And really pushing yourself past the pain
03:01This is perfect
03:02But I think I'm gonna go take a nap right now
03:04Because I cannot do anything for the rest of the day
03:06But maybe after session two, it'll be a lot different
03:10Bye guys
03:11You're the city of champions
03:12You think that it can't be here, it can't be done
