StraightUp Spin August 28, 2014

Mike builds this ride entirely around cadence, slowing your legs to a steady strong pulse that breaks muscle down to rebuild it stronger, then throws in a fast out of the saddle run for speed lovers.

What prevents experienced riders from getting better? Being good already. Cycling is an activity that demands economy of effort. Spinning® is a workout that counters that! This ride is all about CADENCE. Forcing your legs to slow down and maintaining a steady, strong pulse produces the fatigue necessary to break down muscle tissue in order to build it back stronger. And for those who love speed, Mike throws in a nice, 102 BPM, out-of-the-saddle run. Enjoy the ride!
