10 1. Before the cadence sensor is securely fastened to the flywheel dropout, it must be adjusted so that it is about 5 mm (.20 in) from the magnet face. Install the magnet on the fl ywheel so that it aligns with the arrow on the end of the cadence sensor. Note the distance between the end of the cadence sensor and the magnet face. Remove the caden[...]

21 CADENCE, RESISTANCE AND INTENSITY Understanding the relati ons hip between caden ce, resistance and intensit y is key to Spinning® program classes that meet training goals. B y using the Spinner® compu ter, you will become more p roficient at increasing power, gaining efficient leg speed an d mastering the relati ons hip between idea l resista[...]

22 Energy Zones™ The Spinning Energy Zones are the foundation of heart ra te training in the Spinning® program. Each Energ y Zone is a type of training based on exercise intensit y (indicated by heart rate). Energy Zo ne Intensi ty Range Purpose Recovery 50% to 65% of MHR Relaxation and energy accumulation. Endurance 65% to 75% of MHR Raises met[...]

23 CADENCE FUNDAMENTALS What is Cadence? Cadence is defined as the number of times the pe dals revolve per minute, also known as RPM for re volutions per minute. The safest, most efficient and most realistic cadenc es are 80–110 RPM for a flat road an d 60–80 RPM for a hill. These ranges are based on studying the cadences of elite cyc lists as [...]

24 Is it good to pedal faster than 110 RPM? Those who have a high power to resistance ratio may occasionally attain these leg speeds. This means they have the ability to overcome resistance through strength and speed. The rare, hi ghly skilled Spinning® enthusiast (often cyclists) who have mastered a smooth pedal stroke and who understand the d yn[...]

25 resistance places too much load on the knee joint and puts the hi ps and lo w back at risk. One wouldn’t perform a bicep curl with a weight that would require the rider to thro w his/her hips forward. The same applies to resistance while pedaling. A ride r must build the strength in his legs using appropriate resist ance at a cadence no lower [...]

26 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CADENCE AND RESISTANCE Cadence, resistance and in tensity are interrelated. For an y given intensity, there is a correla ted cadence and resistance combination. In o ther words, if one know s the intensity (heart rate) he/she w ants to exercise at, and selec ts the cadence at w hich to ride, he/she can find the right res[...]

27 4. Find a tough climb without exceeding 85% MHR. Continue adding resistance until one feels the need to rise out of the saddle in a standing climb. (Outdoors, cyclists stand on a climb when the road becomes steeper.) Maintain a cadence of 70–75 RP M. Play with these three variables, finding the right combination to meet the parameters. If cade[...]

28 Now for the hard part—transition to a standing climb. Once st anding, ride back up the ladder from 60 to 80 RPM, reducing the resistance slightly each time. It will be difficult to maintain the 80% MHR as the hill becomes less steep because heart rate often rises with faster cadences on a hill. Take caution to fi nd the correct amount of resis[...]

29 Spin-Ups Spin-ups (also known as accelerations) are a type of ladder w here riders prog ressively increase the cadence over a fairly short period of time. This drill requires a long warm-up. Spin-ups ar e done in intervals and can be quite intense, but the y’re an excellent way to train leg speed and improve muscle firing patterns in the legs.[...]

30 Spinning® Ride Profile This Strength Energy Zone™ ride takes a rider on three hills, each one a little longer, steeper and therefore more difficult. F or the first hill, attempt to keep the heart rate at 80%max. Allow heart rate to rise to 85 % with the second and third hills. Elapsed Time Duration Movement/Cadence Intensity Technique 0:00 ?[...]
