SpinningŽ Instructor Krista Leopold is back with another of her awesome class profiles!
âThere are two types of people: The ones who give you 50 reasons it canââ˘t be done ⌠and the ones who just do it.â â Hoda Kotb
Two Types of People TabatasÂ
I created this ride to help riders see themselves as the second type of people: those who just do what needs to be done, and do it well. It is high-intensity training with two distinct blocks of work, the second of which consists of 2 sub-blocks. For that reason, this profile can easily be picked apart and used for classes that are formatted as 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Block 1 is 30 minutes long and is the foundation for Block 2. In block 1, riders perform 5 best-effort intervals that gradually decrease from 4 minutes to 10 seconds in duration. Using this progression, Block 1 helps riders discover their true âall-outâ intensity.
Block 2 is also 30 minutes long and is broken into 2 halves, each half consisting of gradually increasing intensity, followed by performing the Tabata IE1 protocol on the bike, and then recovering.
Instructors who teach 30-minute classes can easily divide this ride into its 2 blocks of work to ride in consecutive classes. Instructors with 45-minute formats can use Block 1 and block 2a. The full profile clocks in just right for a 60-minute class.
At the end of Krista's presentation she references two past podcasts that featured Lawrence Biscontini.
