Transcript
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 as an exercise noob, I'm a little bit
00:23nervous.
00:24Can I tell you a little bit about my current exercise?
00:27Tell me, tell me.
00:28It'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.
00:34Well SoulCycle is kind of like a cardio party indoor cycling class and three words that
00:39we kind of 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.
00:50But in our class it's nothing to do with competition, it's all about riding as a pack as one team
00:55and we try to motivate 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 about
01:04anyone or anything, no comparison, no compromise and in that way you kind of get a great workout
01:09and 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.
01:20So I'm going to tell you to drop it in the saddle and you're going to grab your hand weights
01:23and 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.
01:29Do you have like a napping pod afterwards?
01:31Cool, 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.
01:36Alright, cool.
01:37See ya.
01:37We're in the city of champions.
01:39You think that it can't be here or it can be done.

02:21And now it's our time.
02:24See, we got six rings.
02:25Yeah, that's my town.
02:26We don't even spread it all around.

02:34But not ladies.
02:34Struck out the hybrid truck.
02:36Yeah, the pirate stuff.
02:36We still feel the fun.
02:37And we met it.
02:38So I just finished my first 45-minute class.
02:41And it was white.
02:43I'm pooped.
02:44My arms and my legs feel like jello.
02:46Everything kind of feels like it's going to be a lot worse tomorrow.
02:50But it was definitely a workout like I've never had before.
02:53It's definitely worth trying.
02:55Especially if you're working out in a big grove.
02:57Doing things together.
02:58Listening to good music.
02:59And really pushing yourself past the pain.
03:01This is perfect.
03:02But I think I'm going to go take a nap right now.
03:04Because I cannot do anything for the rest of the day.
03:07But maybe after section two it'll be a lot different.
03:10Bye guys.
03:11We in the city of champions.
03:12You think that it can't be here?
03:13It can't be here.
