The brilliance of RPM™ is in the unequivocal, rhythmic program lead by highly trained instructors. I love the certainty that I'm going to get an excellent workout every time I attend a class. There's something comforting in knowing, for example, that Track 5 is always interval training or that Track 7 is consistently a challenging mountain climb. Don't get me wrong, it's never monotonous. The upbeat and methodical music is the central component to the class which boasts perfectly timed choreography. LES MILLS™ introduces new music to the mix every three months, so the workout always stays fresh.

For me, RPM's™ intensity allows me to stay in shape by burning 500-900 calories in just under an hour. I would say, "that's a good bang for your buck." I absolutely love being able to squeeze that much intensity into such a short amount of time. RPM™ has become my time to decompress and get lost in the rhythms, comforting patterns and instructor guided imagery. Where else can you beat Lance Armstrong on a mountain climb or Tyler Hamilton in a time trial? Go ahead, get on a bike, even if it's stationary!
I'm so glad to hear of your love for biking and RPM. It is one the BEST cardio workouts possible. Butt-kickin' interval training at its best! Linda and Tamara phenomenal coaches- always explaining what to do, how to do it & why you need to do it. I hope to see you in the club and ride with you soon! xoLynne
ReplyDeleteRPM classes with Linda and Tamara have been the best work for me in the twelve years I have been a member. I ride mostly a road bike in some of the steepest areas of north Baltimore county with a group of riders and I can say honestly that the training from many, many RPM classes have made me a stronger, faster rider. My husband even complimented my increased pace just last fall during a few organized rides. I love the women in the classes, too. Best decision I have ever made joining Lynne Brick at Belvedere. Rock and roll!!
ReplyDeleteYou captured the essence of RPM. I'm so glad Linda suggested that I try it a couple of years ago. I'm hooked for life.
