Page 28: Spinning® Instructor Education
Spinning® Instructor Education Instructor Education adence, Resistance And Intensity: nderstanding the relationship between cadence, resistance and intensity is the key to Spinning® ogram classes that meet training goals. By using the Spinner® computer, you will become more oficient at increasing power, gaining efficient leg speed and mastering the relationship between eal resistance and heart rate intensity. - Page 29 nergy Zones™: he Spinning Energy Zones are the foundation of heart rate training in the Spinning® program. Each nergy Zone™ is a type of training based on exercise intensity (indicated by heart rate). Energy Zone™ Intensity Range Purpose covery 50% to 65% of MHR Relaxation and energy accumulation.
- Page 30 CADENCE FUNDAMENTALS What Is Cadence? adence is defined as the number of times the pedals revolve per minute, also known as RPM f volutions per minute. The safest, most efficient and most realistic cadences are 80–110 RPM for a at road and 60–80 RPM for a hill. These ranges are based on studying the cadences of elite cyclist s well as understanding how the muscles work together to turn the pedals in the most efficient anner.
- Page 31 It Good To Pedal Faster Than 110 RPM? hose who have a high power to resistance ratio may occasionally attain these leg speeds. This eans they have the ability to overcome resistance through strength and speed. The rare, highly killed Spinning® enthusiast (often cyclists) who have mastered a smooth pedal stroke and who nderstand the dynamics of cadence can pedal faster than 110 rpm for 1-3 minutes.
- Page 32 s not dangerous to exceed 80 RPM on a hill, but for extended periods it will likely raise the rider’s tensity too high and won’t achieve the strength benefits of climbing. It is all right to exceed 80 RPM r brief periods, such as in a standing climb for the last 10-20 seconds. The rider intensity will crease dramatically, so make sure one has planned for this in his/her profile.
- Page 33 ps For Choosing An Appropriate Cadence And Resistance: Warm-Up. The first ten minutes of a Spinning ride are critical for establishing proper cadence. With no resistance during warm-up, one may tend to pedal too quickly thus raising the heart rates prematurely. During the warm-up, it’s important to work on cadence by keeping intensity under control (65% or less).
- Page 34 Relationship Between Cadence And Resistance: adence, resistance and intensity are interrelated. For any given intensity, there is a correlated adence and resistance combination. In other words, if one knows the intensity (heart rate) he/she to exercise at, and selects the cadence at which to ride, he/she can find the right resistance to et to that intensity.
- Page 35 4. Find a tough climb without exceeding 85% MHR. Continue adding resistance until one feels the need to rise out of the saddle in a standing climb. (Outdoors, cyclists stand on a climb when the road becomes steeper.) Maintain a cadence of 70–75 RPM. Play with these three variables, finding the right combination to meet the parameters.
- Page 36 ext, add a little hill while maintaining the same intensity. Remain seated and ride a progressively eeper hill by gradually adding resistance every 3-4 minutes. Try to maintain the same intensity of 0%. In order to do so, one will have to slow his/her legs down as the hill becomes steeper. Ride at 0, 75, 70, 65 and 60 RPM.
- Page 37 adders: adders are a progressive increase or decrease in one of the following variables: cadence, resistanc intensity. This drill is best employed using seated or standing flats and seated or standing climbs. umps do not work well for ladders. One can use a combination of the following drills in any profile: Constant cadence with increasing resistance in a seated flat or standing flat.
- Page 38 ext, try this over 60 seconds, raising the cadence 2 RPM every 4 seconds. eated Climbs: Climb at 60 RPM with enough resistance to bring the intensity to 75%. Gradually crease the cadence to 80 RPM over 60 seconds. If possible, use 85% MHR as a ceiling. One may ave to try this several times to find a hill that allows him/her to stay within the desired intensity.

- Page 40 pinning® Ride Profile: his Strength Energy Zone™ ride takes a rider on three hills, each one a little longer, steeper and erefore more difficult. For the first hill, attempt to keep the heart rate at 80% max. Allow heart rate rise to 85% with the second and third hills.
