Miami Indoor Cycling trainer explains climbing

At some point during a cycling journey, the surface will incline, and this is called “The Climb”.  This situation will require more power to finish at the top.  An outdoor cyclist has different types of climbs, such as a hill, bridge, or mountain.  At some point you will have to standup to maximize your power.  The difference for an outdoor cyclist climbing is the gear change is lowered.  Indoor cycling is completely the opposite.   We have to increase the gear change or resistance to start a powerful climb.  There are two types of climbs for indoor and outdoor cycling.  First, you can sit down in the seat and maximizing the power in the lower body.  The second type of climb is standing up and power works through the upper body.  The height of the hill outside will determine the gear best suited to finish the climb.  An indoor instructor requires excellent leadership to set the cadence of the pace, good motivation and a great imagination.
