The Wave (about 10 minutes with my setup)
This is a
Cycling pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 17080)
This is a favourite drill in my evening class...
I call it "The Wave" because it ends up looking like a crowd doing the wave. There is always one joker who takes their hand off their bars and actually just waves at me in the front!
- Participants in my class are set up in two rows of 5 (totaly ten bikes) so I have the front and back sets go up and down together.
- Participants increase intensity to their 60-70%, or RPE 6-8. We start their right and move to the left.
- Everyone starts seated, then the front and back person on my far right move from seated to a standing jog for 30 seconds while everyone else stays seated.
- After 30 seconds, the next two move to standing, and all the way across until everyone is in a standing jog. Then we move back, the people on the right move to seated, then a new set sits after each 30 second set.
- I am usually in the middle, so I make my changes with the middle group. It's a great drill when the seated people cheer on the standing people, because everyone gets an equal amount at each type.
