I'm watching it so you don't have to (it's almost 30 minutes long). Bike Bootcamp starts tomorrow, which I'm super excited about! @jsimsfit says boot camp can be better than doing rides / strength separately because those classes might have been shot on different days . . . https://twitter.com/jsimsfit/status/1305549331987148804
with different intentions. But in a single bootcamp class, they've thought about what you need for a complete full body workout. Good gateway if you're a purely bike rider to jump into strength training.
30 min sessions, start and end on bike with the meat on the floor.

You will be changing shoes during the workout between bike / floor.
You'll need weights for most workouts + sneakers/training shoes.
Put a mat next to the bike; enough space to hold a plank and bring your arms up overhead.

About the space of a yoga mat or, per @RobinNYC, a luxurious beach towel.
@codyrigsby has killer nail polish - that is optional.
They'll incorporate HIIT/tabata into the cardio portions of the workout.

@codyrigsby PROMISES that classes will be fun, with fire playlists, and we will still have "those moments to shake our tits."
Sounds like classes will start at 30 minutes, but they intend to do 45 and 60-minutes.
As for weights, @RobinNYC wants you to lift as heavy as you can without sacrificing form. But go heavy. 3 pounds won't be used in these classes.

(In strength classes, when they call for moderate weights, I'm usually using 8#; heavy is 10# for me. But that's me, and it's WAY below what the instructors usually use.)
@jsimsfit says-- how do you know your weight is appropriate? If you're getting more than 15 reps in 45 seconds, you need to go heavier. Also, if you're not struggling with those last few reps, you need to go heavier.
@RobinNYC says: The work doesn't get easier-- you get stronger.
@jsimsfit says the goal should be taking these classes 2-5x/week. (If I can do one every couple of weeks, I'll count it as a success.)
APPARENTLY THE CLASS TOMORROW HAS TWO 9-MINUTE EMOMS????

Robin asks-- if there was one move you had to pick for strength, what would you pick?
@codyrigsby - Arnold press. Also froggers.
@jsimsfit - a snatch. But she thinks everyone should do single leg deadlifts.

She likes unilateral training bc we all have one dominant side. That single leg deadlift forces you to work the non-dominant side without your dominant side helping you out.
@RobinNYC - Thruster. (I don't know what this is??? Guess I'll find out
.)

@codyrigsby says to bring your cute shoes. THAT I can handle.
