Spinning music that helps indoor cycling workouts

Posted: August 25, 2011 in Core Training, Endurance

Music is an important ingredient for an indoor cycling program.  It sets the mood and cadence of the class for difference exercises.  Sprinting is usually associated with fast songs and climbing with slow songs.  This is a general assumption because different resistance and cadence counts works with all types of music.  The cadence is one and two and the counts are multiples of eight, sixteen, twenty-four and etc.  There are different types of music used in my class tailored to an instructor personality and style.  I am motivated by the music setting the vibe of the class by positive messages in the words or the electronic beats.  It is my responsible to relate my music to every sprint or climb in my program.  I may use a song for the sole purpose to motivate my students for an exercise such as a standing sprint.  Visualization is a great tool to assist defining a ride with your music.  Remember music is a great tool for indoor cycling but the motivation truly comes from inside you.
