The Instructor's Guide to Choreographing Your Indoor Cycling Classes
I love choreographing drills.
In fact, I love it so much, I have created 4 ebooks full of choreographed cycling drills (don't worry, there are lots of timer drills too!).
Now, a lot of people think choreographed drills do not belong in a cycling class, but I am here to say they absolutely do.
They way I see it, group fitness is set to music, no different than a step aerobics class. You use the music to guide the workout and the same can be done with indoor cycling.
This doesn't mean I am saying perform a dance routine with sexy hips on a bike, what I am saying is, you can choreograph a song to match a drill while keeping a class safe and using the fundamentals of indoor cycling.
