The IMD Presenter Team is excited to share the newly-developed Spinning® Connect App with the event participants! Spinning® has designed an app to elevate your training and motivation. Your smartphone turns into the ultimate indoor cycling computer when you pair it with your heart rate monitor and power meter so you can:

• – See your real-time metrics as you ride: cadence, heart rate, power and more
• – Take the guesswork out of zone training with heart rate and power zones personalized to you
• – Track your calories burned using a heart rate monitor and/or power meter.
• – See your intervals history during class -great for goal-setting and motivation
• – Review your workout performance after class and track your progress (30-day history included)

Participants should:

• – Download the app on your smartphone and create a free account prior to the workshop
• – Bring a heart rate monitor (please make sure your monitor connects to the app)

Get ready to experience an in-depth tutorial on the app and then a sample ride to put what you learned in action!

11:00 – 12:30 LECTURE 2:  Weekly Training with Power: Intensity, Duration and Volume
Martin Timmermann 

Average power during a class is one thing. The profile, peaks and recoveries during a particular ride influence our physical response in different ways. Therefore, we need power parameters that reflect this variation, even when you know your threshold numbers. During the course of weekly training, it’s essential to understand and choose the appropriate training volume for the best benefits and, of course, to avoid overtraining.

11:00 – 12:30 WORKSHOP 2: Peak Power and Anaerobic Training
Francesco Sivieri

Join Power Specialist Master Instructor Francesco Sivieri for an electrifying workshop designed to elevate your Spinning® performance through short, high-intensity anaerobic efforts on the Spinner® bike! This dynamic session will focus on harnessing extreme intervals using RPE, heart rate and/or power to maximize your strength and endurance, pushing the limits of what you thought was possible.
Workshop Highlights:

• – Understanding Anaerobic Training: Learn the science behind anaerobic efforts and how they contribute to improved speed, power, and overall cycling performance. We’ll discuss the physiological benefits of short-duration, high-intensity workouts.
• – Peak Power Essentials: Discover what peak power means in cycling and how to measure it effectively. We’ll explore techniques to tap into your maximum output, ensuring you can give your all during those crucial moments in a ride.
• – Hands-On Spinner® Bike Techniques: Experience a guided, high-intensity interval class tailored to enhance your anaerobic capacity. Francesco will lead you through a structured workout that will challenge your limits while emphasizing proper movements, form, and technique.
• – Recovery Strategies: Understand the importance of recovery in anaerobic training. We’ll cover effective work-to-rest and recovery techniques to help you bounce back stronger and ready for your next challenge.

Whether you’re a new or seasoned Spinning® Instructor this is a fantastic way to expand your knowledge and explore the benefits of real anaerobic training! Come ready to sweat, challenge yourself, and unlock your full potential on the Spinner® bike.
NOTE: A Heart Rate Monitor is highly recommended for this session.

16:00-16:50 SAT02 – Francesco Sivieri Ride – “INSPIRED”

Each of us is in search of the motivation and refinement of our intuitive abilities that drive us to initiate or follow up on forms of creativity and of expression. This process also and especially takes place in a Spinning® ride, this extraordinary training program that has transformed and often motivated the lives of many; through movement supported by music, with the pursuit of the emotion of transportation out of our minds, with the activation of this personal inner property that precisely serves as a source of inspiration.
Even in a ride, conditions can be created for the impulse of inspiration to take off, enticing us to find and give our best to accomplish something unique, meaningful, memorable. The melodic side of music, downtempo psychedelic dub grooves, goa ambient, and world beats, packed with driving rhythms and forward thinking sounds will support you in an extraordinary inspired ride.
For our own well-being and that of those around us.

17:15-18:30 SAT03 – Josh Taylor Ride – “MAGIC”

“Within each of us lies an undeniable MAGIC.”

This is a special ride that will focus on the courage it takes to push beyond your limits, to fight with tenacity, and to focus deeply on the force that ignites true passion and resilience within you.
This is Spinning® at its highest level where the Profile, Music, Visuals, Environment, and Coaching are all expertly combined to create an extraordinary experience. It’s a ride where every pedal stroke you take will be a profound symphony of power, rhythm, and emotion.
Get ready to embrace the undeniable MAGIC that is inside you, and let it guide you on a path of transformation that only a ride of this magnitude can deliver.

SUNDAY MARCH 23
10:00-10:50 SUN01 – Barbara D’Onza Ride – “VIBRATIONS”
Everything in the universe is vibration (A. Einstein)

Every movement, every sound and every emotion generates waves that affect our bodies, minds and surroundings. “Vibrations” is a Spinning® ride that translates this universal truth into an immersive experience, amplifying the power of vibration: from music to gesture, everything is transformed into pure positive energy.
The class is a harmonious synergy of rhythm, intensity and connection, in which the continuous flow of vibrations stimulates the body and resonates with the heart. Each piece of music is chosen to evoke specific emotions and guide participants in a crescendo of energy and awareness.
The synchronization of the group becomes the catalyst for a unique collective energy that can enhance individual performances and enrich the shared atmosphere.
In Vibrations you will explore how waves of energy can:

• – Motivate you to overcome your personal limitation
• – Positively affect your mood and focus
• – Strengthen the connection between participants, creating a united and vibrant community.

Let yourself be transported. Listen to your body. Feel the rhythm. Become part of a wave of energy that transforms each pedal stroke into a positive impact on you and everything around you. Vibrations are not just sounds: they are your potential in action.

11:00-11:50 SUN02 – Martin Timmermann Ride – “ENDORPHINS AND DOPAMINE”

“One step at a time is good climbing.” A delicate and exquisite musical selection will guide us through 5 mountain passes of progressive intensity, so we can all experience a stellar 5-Star Ride together.
