This week’s awesome new cycle class playlist and choreography (ride #15)

I recently did a lot of music organizing and choreography, creating this brand new 45 minute ride from scratch (not including cool down and stretch). I wanted something fresh to kick 2015 off right! I hope you enjoy it, and go get that workout in! I always set up the ride so that whenever we’re out of the saddle, you use the beat to guide your pace to keep your RPMs on target.

IMPORTANT: Always remember to warm up and workout within your ability according to your doctor. Listen to your body, and if you need to stop, please do so. I am NOT responsible for any harm you may cause yourself! Please be sure to have the proper safe bike setup.Β  Now that that’s said and done, lets have some fun!

2015/01/img_4196.pngAfter 4 minute flat warm up, start off with a gradual hill for track 2. That classic rock is perfect for that grinding seated climb, ending at a heavy gear. Muahahaa. It’s a short track though. You’re welcome πŸ˜‰

Track 3 is a mega hard track (yes, that’s a very technical term I use), where you climb out of the saddle using the beat to guide your cadence and simply shift from position 2 to 3 (standing run to standing climb) for 3 sets during the chorus. You’re welcome again πŸ˜‰

Track 4 drops the gear back to your flat road, where we have 3 sets of sprints during each chorus.

Track 5 is the other mega track, but starting off at a small hill out of the saddle in position 2, then shifting to position 3 for 3 sets for each the chorus. Each set, add a gear ending for the final set at a heavy hill.

Track 6 has a 1 minute flat recovery, then the work starts once you add to your small hill. 3 sets of jumps during the chorus, position 1 to 2, for 8 counts. Add a half gear each set, ending at a slightly heavy hill.

Track 7 drops back to your flat road, where we have 3 sets of sprints again during each chorus, same as Track 4.

Track 8 adds to your small hill, then crank it onto a heavy hill for 3 sets in position 3. Shift back to position 1 and drop the gear back to your small hill.

Track 9 drops back to your flat road once again, with a very gradual seated climb, building that very heavy gear to the end and holding into the final track.

Track 10 recovers to walk it out of the saddle right away, then 3 sets shifting to position 3, holding that heavy gear.

That’s it! Whew! If you have any questions about the ride, don’t hesitate to ask! What are your favorite spin songs?

Happy sweating!

Warmly,

Dani
