Spin with Victor one of our top Cyclists!!!

I just found out after the RTC Century ride that Victor instructs spinrnclasses. Victor is one of our top cyclists and an amazing triathlete.rnWhile he routinely takes 1st place in his age group his strongestrndisapline is the bike.

Wernare always looking for opportunities to get together and train – herernis a great one that will work well for those on the east side orrnHenderson. I asked Victor to tell me about his class…

I’ve been a spin class instructur for about 3 and a half years. I work at the 24-Hour Fitness on Silverado and Maryland.

Myrnschedule is: Mon and Wed, 9am. I also sub at the clubs on Wigwam andrnPecos, Tropicana and Decatur, Green Valley and the one in Henderson,rnBasic Rd and Boulder Hwy.

My classes are very intense, basicallyrnsimulate road racing situations, climbs, sprints, tempo and fastrndescends. I employ 90% classic rock with some blues, country and a bitrnof modern top 40 stuff. The average member burns about 1100 caloriesrnper session which last 1 hour. I average about 1300 to 1400 caloriesrnper hour, mind you that I have to talk during the session and thatrnrequires a bit more energy.

I’m proud to say that I have beenrnselected as the top instructor in the last year and a half, somethingrnI’m proud of. Hopefully this coming spring, when the company holds itsrnseminars, I will be leading a bike-fit class, another on how tornproperly ride a spin bike and maybe some nutritional information, we’llrnsee. One of the reasons I’ve been succesful at spinning is that do inrnclass exactly what I do on the road, many other instructors are notrnexperienced in road racing and do carzy things on the bike that yournwould normally not do on the road. Well, that’s about it………..Hadrna great time today chatting with you and others, it was a greatrnday!!!………..See you later,rnVictor…………………………..PS: Don’t forget the time trial,rnI think it will go great!!!rn
