StraightUp Spin: The ROAD FIT Rider
Equipment: Indoor Cycling Bike
This ride is about the interval. Fitness is not only about what you can do, it’s also about how you recover from what you do. The most important part of interval training is the recovery. This ride is similar to weight training — we are doing multiple sets of shorter, intense effort, followed by needed recovery. If you feel comfortable doing this ride, you are not working out!

Focused Intervals Spin
Interval: “a pause or break in activity.” Interval training is designed as focused rest periods between efforts of exertion. Too often, we neglect such focus because we forget the value of recovery. This low intensity interval Spinning class asks that you pay attention to the segments in between your effort. Listen to and slow down your breathing; use the interval to capture as much recovery time as you can. Just as nutrients are absorbed between meals, so too, fitness gains occur between exercise efforts. Let’s ride.
55 Min Cycle: Upbeat Treat (Bonus Ab Set)
Want a workout that’s gonna get your heart pumping and boost your mood? This online Spin class with a 90’s pop playlist will do the trick! The music will make you wanna dance, but the drills are legit. With jumps and climbs to build power, and sprints to drive calorie burn, the upbeat vibes will be a treat to balance out the work. Wrap up the fun with a quick stretch and optional bonus 5-Minute Abs segment. Enjoy this tasty upbeat treat!
StraightUp Spin January 19, 2014
This ride is completely based upon the importance of tempo. One thing you do not have on an indoor bike is drag. This means the flywheel allows you to build up momentum if you pedal too quickly. In this hour we’re going to focus on keeping your foot speed between 76 and 92 RPM in the saddle. When we come out of the saddle it’s a maximum climb, but we’re going to do two, 1 minute accelerations at 72 RPM. If you pay close attention to matching my foot speed you will maximize your workout. Let’s ride!
StraightUp Spin: Master Mike with Maximizing Gear
This ride is about power climbing and flat road endurance sprints. We’ll maximize gear out of the saddle, reduce gear to power climb in the saddle, and moderate our gear for leg speed, leveling at about 100 to 120 RPMs. Gonna burn so good.
