Purpose: The purposes of this workout are to teach your legs to make smooth circles and to balance left and right leg power output at high cadence.
CompuTrainer set-up:
- Program: SpinScan mode
- Set a fan head-on at face level.
Workout:
- Using your small chain ring, warm up 10-15 minutes keeping your cadence at 90 rpm. Observe your left-right power split striving to balance them at 50-50.
- Then, without stopping, increase your cadence to 100 rpm for five minutes. Monitor your left-right power split striving to balance them at 50-50.
- Step up your cadence to 110 rpm for three minutes. Again try to balance your left-right power split.
- Step up to 120+ rpm for one minute. Balance your left-right power split.
- Recover for five minutes and repeat one to two more times beginning with 100 rpm. The recovery spin at about 90 rpm should now feel much easier than during your warm-up.
- The step up drill can be done as a workout in itself or can be used as a warm-up and cool-down activity.
- Cool down and stretch the quads, hamstrings, and gluteus.
