GROUP RIDE
WHAT IS GROUP RIDE?
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The “Ride” consists of ten tracks that make use of different terrains,
speeds, and intensity levels to create a fun and highly effective
cardiovascular workout. You will train a variety of speeds, resistance
levels, and cycling positions that are all based on cycling principles. The
speeds are controlled to ensure that everyone can “keep up.” As your
fitness level and your confidence increase, you can crank up the
resistance to challenge yourself even more. The ten tracks have a specific
training objective:
RIDE – We jump on our bikes and begin the ride! Music kicks in, a few
hellos to your neighbors, legs start turning over, and your body starts to
get warm as you run through the cycling positions and techniques that
will be used during the hour.
TERRAIN – The intensity begins to increase, and the workout feels
like it really gets started. Sometimes the terrain is flat, sometimes it’s
hilly, or maybe a mix of both, but it’s always an exciting ride.
ROLL – The pace comes down but the intensity does not. Rolling hills
keep the physical intensity of the ride rising, while turning the workout
feel toward strength-training.
INTERVALS – Repeated working sections, with quick recoveries
between, push you toward higher intensity to increase your endurance.
CHASE – Get in the race, get out of breath, and challenge your fitness!
The first physical peak of the workout improves your endurance by
motivating you to break away from the pack.
SPIN – An opportunity to pull back the intensity and gather yourself, but
also an opportunity to pick up the pace if you want to train endurance
with smooth, quick pedaling. This is the calm after one storm and before
the next one.
CLIMB – The road turns upward. The feel returns to strength. You’ll
notice the results in your legs from the heaviest resistance of the workout,
as you challenge yourself to reach the top of a mountain peak
SPRINT – With just four minutes of work left, you’ll empty your tank in
a race to the finish line. You’ll finish this energetic sprint feeling spent
but exhilarated.
CELEBRATE – You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment as you look back
on your workout while you take an easy spin to cool down from a great ride.
STRETCH – Wrap up your recovery and relax from your ride with some
stress reversal for your muscles to make sure you’ll walk as tall as you feel.
