What is it?

What Will I Do?

R30 is your 30-minute cardio workout. Music will make the time fly, and you
will feel great working up a sweat! Ride at three main levels of speed, with
the ability to increase or decrease the intensity of your own workout.
Everything about the bike is adjustable, so R30 can be geared toward your
personal level of fitness. The workout consists of 7 different tracks, each
with its own energetic song and specific objective:

• 1. Warm-Up – Your workout on the bike begins with the start of fun,
  familiar music. The comfortable pace of this track gets the legs moving
  and warms the body. Prepare yourself for 30 minutes of fitness!

• 2. Surge – Sweat starts here! Rise to the challenge with this high-energy
  song. The resistance starts to increase, the legs begin to move faster,
  and the heart rate surges higher. Feel the intensity!

• 3. Endurance – Shift into a harder gear. The pace comes down as the
  workout focuses on building strength and burning calories. The high
  resistance guarantees results for your legs. Feel the heat!
  
  
• 4. Short Intervals – Work hard, and then pull back. Quick bursts of
  intensity are each followed by a period of active recovery. These
  intervals will drastically improve your cardio fitness. Each short
  challenge is a chance to go for it!

• 5. Power – Push harder at your highest resistance of the day. A strong climb
  will build stronger legs. Rock out and pedal hard as you feel the power!

• 6. Rush – Chase down an energy rush as you reach the peak of this
  cardio workout. This is the time to give it all the speed you’ve got! When
  you make the final sprint in R30, EVERYONE FINISHES FIRST!

• 7. Recover – Reward your body with the recovery it needs. Steady the
  heart rate and stretch. Your 30 minutes of fitness are done!

The “Ride” consists of ten tracks that make use of different terrains,
speeds, and intensity levels to create a fun and highly effective
interval-based cardiovascular workout. You will train a variety of speeds,
resistance levels, and cycling positions that are all based on cycling
principles. The speeds are controlled to ensure that everyone can “keep
up.” As your fitness level and your confidence increase, you can crank up
the resistance to challenge yourself even more. The ten tracks have a
specific training objective:

• 1. Ride – We jump on our bikes and begin the ride! Music kicks in, a few
  hellos to your neighbors, legs start turning over, and your body starts to
  get warm as you run through the cycling positions and techniques that
  will be used during the hour.

• 2. Terrain – The intensity begins to increase, and the workout feels like it
  really gets started. Sometimes the terrain is flat, sometimes it’s hilly, or
  maybe a mix of both, but it’s always an exciting ride.

• 3. Roll – The pace comes down but the intensity does not. Rolling hills
  keep the physical intensity of the ride rising, while turning the workout
  feel toward strength-training.

• 4. Intervals – Repeated working sections, with quick recoveries between, push you toward higher intensity to increase your endurance.

• 5. Chase – Get in the race, get out of breath, and challenge your fitness!
  The first physical peak of the workout improves your endurance by
  motivating you to break away from the pack.

• 6. Spin – An opportunity to pull back the intensity and gather yourself, but also an opportunity to pick up the pace if you want to train endurance with smooth, quick pedaling. This is the calm after one storm and before the next one.

• 7. Climb – The road turns upward. The feel returns to strength. You'll notice the results in your legs from the heaviest resistance of the workout, as you challenge yourself to reach the top of a mountain peak.
  
  
• 8. Sprint – With just four minutes of work left, you'll empty your tank in a race to the finish line. You'll finish this energetic sprint feeling spent
  but exhilarated.

• 9. Celebrate – You'll feel a sense of accomplishment as you look back on
  your workout while you take an easy spin to cool down from a great ride.

• 10. Stretch – Wrap up your recovery and relax from your ride with some stress reversal for your muscles to make sure you'll walk as tall as you feel.
