Spinning

[Nils-Erik Svang]

Hello!

I was wondering how the music in spinning classes are choosen. I have read info on the net, that
when cycling you should have about 90 revolutions per minute, and slightly higher when spinning
(around 120 revs). How is the music choosen, is it based on the BPM (beats per minute)? I have
measured the BPM of the music of the classes I take, the BPM of the is about 140-150. And does
anyone have any links to info about how the instructors design their classes? /nisse

Ack! Much better to get out on a real bike & do some proper cycling. Get fit whilst enjoying the
scenery instead of being in a sweaty gym affair

Haha, I would if it wasnt so much snow where I live. 10 metric miles south of the artic circle. I
have to wait about 1-2 month before I can go out on the roads an cycle.

Oh, Helen:

You sound like one of those retro people that want to cycle in the fresh air, enjoy the country side
and see the world.

Strictly Retro.

Modern nd progressive is to drive to a Gym where you can listen to rock music played at full
throttle while bouncing around on a "spin bike", following instructions shouted over the PA system
by some cute instructor."

Strictly Retro....

No, it's not an april fools joke, I'm genuinly interested in knowning how the music in spinning
classes are choosen so that the RPM are right. It may be a stupid question or even in the wrong
forum, but it is not a aprol fools joke. In retrospect I should perhaps choosen another day to post
thought.

I found this link http://www.turnstep.com/Patterns/1998/May/May08.2.html It suggest that the beat of
the music i roughly double that of the cadence. Does that sound right? /nisse

What's a metric mile? My CatEye cyclo computer doesn't have an option for these.

1 metric mile = 10 km (kilometers) 1m = 100cm 12 inches = 30 cm

Hmm.. this solves everything /nisse
