Cycling workouts are really like lifting weights. Depending on which muscle groups are being used, the intensity of effort and amount of weight lifted varies. If we are improving our steep climbing, we want high gear and slow cadence. If improving speed is the goal, low gear and fast RPM. This amazing Spinning class blends a series of sprint breakaways with intense power climbing in an effort to "Mr. (or Mrs.) Universe" sculpt our legs!

    Excellent class! Hangs up between 37 and 39 minutes but fine after that.

    Really like this oldie. Seems to always 'hang up' around the 37 minute mark. I just start over as I like that Lily Allen song.
