Interval Training
This is a
Cycling pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 5698)
- Start out with a 3-5 minute warm-up with little resistance
- Do a standing run with light resistance for 2 minutes.
- Sit and recover for 2 minutes,
- Repeat this again.
- Do a seated clilmb for 2 minutes with moderate resistance.
- Sit and recover for 2 minutes.
- Repeat
- Do jumps foor 2 minutes using a resistance that you are comfortable with
- Sit-recover for 2 minutes
- Repeat
- Do a standing slimb using a resistand that brings your rpm's to about 65
- Sit-recover for 2 minutes
- Repeat
If you want you can add a few sprints to finish out they can
vary from 30 seconds to 1 minute. Make the recovery period
equal to the work period.
I usually do at least a 5 minute cool down and stretch. This
class takes about 45 minutes. When you do the recovers they are
always seated with light resistance. Sometimes we do a
little upper body stretching while we recover. If anyone
doesn't feel they have recovered have them skip the next
workload. I tell them to really push the last 30 seconds of
the work portion-they should really be feeling it!! If not
have them increase speed of resistance. Remind them they will
have 2 minutes to recover. I used a dance cd for this
class-just put it in and go-can also use new age,
techno-anything upbeat. You can also break the inteervals down
into 15,20,30,45,60,or 90 second intervals, you can mix them
up, do repeaters-it's very versatile. Have fun and work hard!!
