CYCLE Routine

Strength Training Info Weight Loss Info

I am certified in and follow the Star Track Precision Cycling™ program and use Precision Cycling™ guidelines when developing the class routine. I am an experienced outdoor cyclist and use that knowledge and experience to guide participants on a ride using profiles that adhere to the principles of real outdoor cycling training methods practiced by competitive cyclists. The Precision Cycling™ program applies the latest research in athletic training, sports science and cycling biomechanics to help you achieve measurable results. This scientific and "real-world" approach to Precision Cycling™ makes the program adaptable to the widest range of participants at any fitness level - from beginners to elite cyclists.

We'll use higher gears and powerful pedaling strokes to burn calories as we ride over various terrains, including inclines, hills and flats and pedal through varied pace intervals in order to build endurance. Classes will emulate an outdoor cycling experience by incorporating safe, manageable RPM's (revolutions per minute) and resistance levels that increase caloric expenditure and improve performance. This method is preferred over classes that use rapid pedaling against little resistance that simply do not create a realistic cycling experience and result in lactic acid burn, localized fatigue and can lead to injury. We'll coordinate proper cadence by using the music (serving as a metronome) to set a pace and to create a motivational environment. We'll add resistance to meet individual intensity requirements yet allow you to keep pace with the group so that members - of all ages and fitness levels - can participate in a safe, effective and biomechanically sound form of exercise.

Reminders:

Please pedal in a forward motion only as pedaling backwards damages the bike.

Leaning on the bars means you are too tired to hold yourself up and places stress on your body. You will not see improvement from riding in this position.

Come to class early to ask any questions about the class and to get help with bike set up. Proper bike set up will help you reap the full benefits of cycling movements and minimize the risk of injury.

Bring a water bottle and towel to class. Cycling shoes are recommended but not mandatory.

Talking after class has begun is not only disruptive to your fellow cyclists but makes it impossible to achieve the maximum results this class is designed to provide.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please ask them before class has started or after class has finished. If you aren't able to come early or stay later then please email me at contact@tracis.info.
