In this Zone 3 Fat-Frying Cardio Spin Class, your challenge is to maintain a heart rate of about 70-80% of your max rate, while working at a tension and tempo that keeps you at 4-6 on the RPE (rate of perceived exertion) scale. The benefits to this ride are huge: increase your strength and power, develop a greater VO2 max, and increase your endurance for longer rides. Press play and zone in!

Before starting this workout, make sure to warm-up on your own, and if this is your last workout of the day, cool-down and stretch on your own. We have some great warm-up and cool-down options here!
