Spin and Mobility (W/S)
Erika Vanderheijden
Cycling programs that focus on improved flexibility and increased range of motion lead to fewer overuse injuries, well-exercised muscles, and happier joints (and participants). Combining a variable intensity spin workout with stretching, band work, trigger point release, and active movements, this workshop will provide you with the tools necessary to decrease hip tightness, mobilize shoulders, and generally improve function, recovery, and performance. Bonus: leave with great mix-and-match playlists featuring upbeat cycling tunes and groovy recovery tracks.

Spinning® Negative Intervals (W/S)
Looking for an effective way to help your participants achieve overload? Negative intervals allow you to make the most of limited class time by varying the recovery portion of your interval sets in conjunction with specific recovery rates that can be individualized for each of your participants. This session starts with a lecture to give you the building blocks for designing your own negative interval workouts. Then you’ll get a ride to experience working with negative intervals yourself.
