StraightUp Spin May 10, 2015
Equipment: Indoor Cycling Bike
Because of the typically heavy framework of an indoor cycling bike, riders seldom need to focus on balance. This ride is about stability and balance. Designed, in part, for our SSoD members who use Stationary Trainers, we are riding with the intention of maintaining steady, consistent power as we alternate foot speeds. Whether we are doing 4-count pulses, 20 second breakaways, or one minute presses, staying centered and concentrating on symmetrical push/pull foot strokes will allow you to ride harder and more efficiently. 95% of this ride is in the saddle, so get comfortable and let’s crush this route.

High Cadence Training
A new study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine shows that amateurs don’t get any added benefits from high cadence cycling, outdoors. On a long ride, it can lead to early fatigue. However, when riding indoors, a high cycling cadence can help reduce the stress and strain put on your leg muscles, allowing you to ride for a longer time without developing fatigue. The whole idea behind high cadence cycling is that your muscles contract more frequently, but not as intensely. This online Spinning class with lots of high cadence drills will help you focus on an incremental increase of cadence, coupled with the slight decrease of resistance (gear). I know you’ve got the need for speed, so let’s flip those feet fast!

It’s such a sweaty fun ride that she’ll then have you repeat the pattern a second time! Don’t worry, it’s all done in about 35 quick minutes.
