There's no "I" in classes...but there are 3 of them in elliptical machine!

Let me just get this off my chest right NOW!  There is no worse annoyance to the Group Exercise instructor than members who come to class and do their own thing.  It is rude, inconsiderate, self- centered, arrogant, disruptive and just plain old annoying.  The very definition of Group Exercise is working together as a GROUP and following the instructor's routine.  I often wonder why these people just don't just go and work out on their own.  Elliptical anyone???  Then it occurred to me that those individuals are part of a larger societal problem.  Gone are the days when "We" was a collective part of our vocabulary.  "We" has been replaced by "I" and "Me".  What "I" want, what is best for "Me".  F*** my fellow man and to hell with what is in the best interest of anyone but "Me".  It's all about "Me"!!!  Look at "Me".  I'm sure reality TV has only helped perpetuate the narcissism.  I was teaching class this morning and EVERYONE in class was listening, following and contributing to the GROUP dynamic.  Such an AMAZING experience for me and everyone in the room.  It occurred to me that I should savor the moment because it rarely happens anymore in a class.  Where everyone gets why we're there.  Where everyone is contributing to the GROUP energy.  Where EVERYONE recognizes that "WE" is so much more powerful a word than 'I".
