By cycling within safe cadence parameters, increasing the amount of power generated, observing net
calories expended and recognizing heart-rate variability, riders will benefit from a better and more
effective workout.
When riders have a strong understanding of the components of a proper workout, they are better
equipped to fine-tune their session. The motivation of the computer display is an important element in
class design. When used correctly by the instructor, this data provides helpful information by engaging
and challenging riders in each workout.
