This cycling mash-up will get you pumped and ready to take on the day! Remember YOU control the intensity on your bike. But push it to the next level! There is no use driving to the gym to barely break a sweat in your workout.
Each line is one song. Find the beat and keep the pace so you stay consistent. After each song, drop your resistance back down to a 5, grab some water, and move on the next one.

Hovers are a contra-indicated move in most certifications and have been for years. What certification do you have?
Thank you for the information. I am AFAA certified. I will be sure to remove that from when I teach again. I will be sure to contact the team I was instructed by. Have a great day.
