In our latest Audio Class PROfile, USA Cycling Coach Robin Robertson suggests we all get back to the basics of form fundamentals.
From time to time it is always good to get back to basics with form fundamentals. Form is often overlooked and not practiced enough. This workout takes you back to 5 fundamentals: independent leg work, pedal stroke, smooth transitions in and out of the saddle, the elements of adding and releasing tension through rolling hills while maintaining intensity, and a long seated & standing climb that gets progressively steeper.
Focus on fundamentals will help each rider to get more power out of every pedal stroke and to become more efficient on the bike, whether indoors or outside.
This is an ideal class for everyone — teaching beginners good form and reminding veteran riders of how to get more out of every pedal stroke. The overall intensity is moderate to heavy with the end climb. The focus is on good form!
The cuing for this class includes both indoor stationary cycles and bikes on trainers. This is the kind of class that is perfect for those who enjoy cycling outside because the drills practiced are directly transferrable to outdoor riding.

I love teaching pyramid profiles in my classes and I find that it’s a ride that I return to again and again. The idea of the pyramid is quite simple and there are many different ways to create profiles using the basic premise.
With this particular profile, we are riding two pyramids with recoveries at the top and then again between each pyramid. If you have never used a pyramid profile before, you will notice that as you climb the pyramid, the timing of the intervals increases, until you reach the top and then as you descend, the timing decreases.
If you are able to, I always find it helpful to create a visual for your riders so that they can follow along — see this[wlm_private ‘PRO-Platinum|PRO-Monthly|PRO-Gratis|PRO-Seasonal|Platinum-trial|Monthly-trial|PRO-Military|30-Days-of-PRO|90 Day PRO|Stages-Instructor|Schwinn-Instructor|Instructor-Bonus|28 Day Challenge'] profile graphic included with the Profile.
The music can easily be changed out in this profile to incorporate your favorites, but I’ve used some of my favorite songs of the summer here in this profile. I hope you enjoy it!
