Featured Topic: 10 Ways To Get More Out Of Your Indoor Cycling

In this featured topic I talk with world-renowned spinning instructor Jennifer Sage, author of the instantly downloadable e-book "Keep It Real" and teacher at the "Indoor Cycling Instructor". Topic we talk about in this interview and that Jennifer talks about in her book include:

1. The mechanics of pedaling on a spin bike with a weighted flywheel and the huge implications it has on training techniques, cadence and pedal stroke...

2. Which techniques are applicable to fitness, fat loss, and outdoor riding and which techniques you should sit out, no matter what your spin instructor says...

3. How to select your gear or hill (resistance) and your cadence to best simulate what you do outside, adhering to the rules of "specificity of training"...

4. 13 popular movements that all cyclists (and non-cyclists alike) must avoid in indoor cycling classes, and why...

5. How to increase your climbing skills and strength indoors...

6. How to improve your endurance and maximize fat burning and aerobic base...

7. How to change your program throughout the year (periodize) using indoor cycling classes...

8. A comparison of heart rate training zone methodologies and how to choose which one works best for your specific goals...

9. 13 drills for indoor cycling classes to optimize your technique...

10. 9 high intensity interval profiles to maximize your performance...

...and many more tips on how to make the most of indoor cycling classes!

No more drudgery of riding your trainer alone, no more inappropriate techniques that detract from your riding skills. Here's to greater fitness and higher performance, both inside and outside! Anybody that is taking an indoor cycling class or spin class, as well as anybody that is teaching an indoor cycling or spin class must read Jennifer's instantly downloadable e-book, which you can get by clicking here. Jennifer also teaches indoor cycling instructors at the "Indoor Cycling Instructor" website.
