Indoor Cycling Drills and Skills: For indoor cycling instructors and participants alike!
Indoor Cycling continues to be one of the hottest trends in the fitness industry. Enlivened by racing drills, interval training, and visualization, Indoor Cycling programming continues to be the future of fitness. The workouts in this manual are the latest, cutting edge concepts in the indoor and outdoor cycling world.
Create a fitness program tailored to your student’s needs with Indoor Cycling’s step-by-step explanation on how to modify intensity and vary your student’s workouts. The variety of routines can easily be transferred to outdoor cycling as well. This adaptability is what makes Indoor Cycling fun, and sets it apart from other fitness trends, which often fail to keep the body and mind inspired.
Indoor Cycling is simply riding a bike. Posture and drills are presented in an easy-to-follow format. Training tips are also highlighted to keep you on top of any questions your students might have.
Custom fitting your students bike is important, and section I shows you how to do just that. You’ll also get information on selecting the right clothing and footwear, as well as general guidelines for injury prevention. This information leaves you well equipped to learn the racing drills in the next few sections.
One of the unique features of Indoor Cycling is the mind/body experience. The section entitled; “Mentally Tough†discusses relaxation, breathing, visualization, and goal setting. With this information, you will learn to fulfill your students potential, helping them to reach levels of power and energy unimagined. Your students will also be able to record and keep track of their progress in the Heart Rate section.
Throughout the manual there are also a variety of sidebars in italics which offer real-life experiences, such as how indoor cycling prepares outdoor cyclists for their races. Sidebars also highlight topics ranging from “Psychological Strategies†to “Training Tips.â€
Because Indoor Cycling is both aerobic and anaerobic, many experts believe it is the ultimate workout. The section on interval training teaches your students to burn fat and build endurance, speed, and recovery. You’ll learn actual racing drills you can combine into a program called Cycling Speedwork. You’ll see improvement in your student’s cardiovascular and cycling skill levels.
Introduction
Studies demonstrate that a key to exercise adherence is variety. Your Indoor Cycling program is constantly evolving from beginner to expert. This diversity in your students’ training develops ultimate fitness without overtraining. An overweight, compulsive jogger may save his or her knees by switching to Indoor Cycling.
Indoor Cycling is different from other exercise programs. Form, breathing, and posture are emphasized. A warm-up, stretching, interval drills and a cooldown are all incorporated into a single Indoor Cycling workout.
A focused mind is at least as important as a fit body. But your students may find it too hard or time-consuming to meditate. They can combine Indoor Cycling with present-minded focus. You may suggest that your students concentrate on their pedal strokes rather than their worries.
Let your students monitor their breathing. If they are huffing and puffing, tell them to pace themselves. This is their workout. If they cannot keep up with the fast beat of the music, suggest they train to the slow beat. This is not a race. There is no finish line. It takes as long as it takes.
Indoor Cycling can get your students into the best shape of their lives. It’s a terrific cardiovascular workout and great for muscular endurance. Your students can burn between 400 – 500 calories in a single workout.
You enjoy indoor cycling so much that you are no doubt anxious to let your students start reaping the rewards. Tell your students to visualize a strong, sleek body. Ask them to “see†themselves as having achieved their cycling goals and a fit body and mind.
