Rockin' Good Time in the Saddle!

So, if you haven't been to a Klipsch Spin Class in awhile, here is what you've been missing!
It's the depths of winter training season, don't let those random spring-like days fool you. And as such, we've been doing a LOT of interval sessions! For example, just yesterday, we (John, Larry, Gary and Spitz) did the following:
1. Long 15 minute warm up (Akhnaten by Glass, Skating Away on the Thin Ice by J.Tull, and Don't Fight It, Feel It, by Primal Scream)
2. 10+ minute seated low Zone 4 Hill Interval (Minstrel In The Gallery by J.Tull, and Simply Irresistible by R. Palmer)
3. About a 4 min recovery period (Amie by Pure Prairie League, dedicated to my old admin-asst. at DFC)
4. 4+ min hill interval high Zone 4, with a 10-15 sec burst at the end (World Turning by Fleetwood Mac - thanks, Larry!)
5. About 3 min recovery (Longsight M13, by Ian Brown)
6. 4+ min hill interval high Zone 4, with 10-15 sec. burst at the end (99 and 1/2, by Mavis Staples)
7. 5 min recovery (Got to be Real, by Cheryl Lynn)
8. And last effort of the day, 5+min hill interval with 20 sec burst at the end, (Paper Planes, by M.I.A. - DFA remix)
9. and finally, a long, luxurious cool down (Thick as a Brick by J.Tull, Dirty by B. Worrell).
This was actually the FIRST TIME that John ever played any Jethro Tull tunes for a spin class - they seemed to work alright, but you might ask the other guys for confirmation - it may have just been the adrenaline from the intervals!
Also, note that we intervaled to the song, not to the stop watch - one of the beauties of indoor spin class riding is letting the music take you to a place that you might not otherwise go (this is STRONGLY discouraged for any riding on the road, where it is forbidden to put anything in your ears!).
Hope to see more of you next week!
