Gym Fitness for Women

As a group fitness instructor, I'm getting bored with teaching Spinning. Any advice for making it more fun?

I've been certified with Spinning since 2007. I started teaching just a few months ago. I teach once or twice a week a 30 minute class. I do things strictly on the bike, but would like to take them off the bike too. Any suggestions?

1. Try to simulate riding on the road. Follow a climbing sequence with a high RPM spin, allowing the legs to recover. I have seen fitness instructors make the mistake of treating a spin class like an aerobics class. If your mirror true riding skills, class attendees will benefit from the workout more. Try having the group work on their breathing technique. All riding/fitness is based on breathing above anything else. Also, emphasize each attendee find their ideal rhythm to make climbing easier. Once in a while you should et off the bike walking around observing riders heart rate, technique, bike fit in addition to motivating. also, try creating a game where you pass a stick light to attendees where they select a riding sequence (jumps, high spins, high tension or climbing). All of the above will help prevent injuries. Some riders that may just be starting make the mistake emulating spinning when going out on the road/off road. This also causes injuries on/off the bikes.
