Our Profile today isan all-terrain ride, meaning hearts will be  all over the map.  :) This profile should not be used for classes of novice participants. It is designed to challenge folks with an established and well-developed aerobic base. Because it is highly challenging, pay close attention to your students and give them opportunities to rest or bow out if needed. You should also rest or perform only a recovery workout the day after to prevent injuries or overtraining. Having said that, this really is an exciting and energetic ride that will get your class jumping, literally. We are going to focus on developing our technique and strengthening our heart and leg muscles. This is also a great way to spot any inconsistencies or dead spots in your pedalling technique. During this ride, expect to learn a lot about your body, elevate your heart rate to the top of your zone, and to sweat profusely. Ready? Set? Go!
