Baby it’s cold outside…so move your long ride indoors at The Training Room

November 7, 2011 – 9:00 am

Suzanne Schwartz, local cycling instructor and avid triathlete, is back  teaching her 5-week cycling intensives at The Training Room in Somerville!  The classes, 105 minutes each (90 minutes on the bike), are geared toward outside riders and triathletes. Participants work on cycling fitness, progressing though workouts each week to improve strength, endurance and power on the bike.Week one focuses on form and technique on the bike, with an eye toward understanding different tempos/cadences. Participants also establish a base level of fitness by the end of the first class, checking perceived or actual exertion with both a set of intervals and an endurance climb.  (So, if you’re a returning participant, you can compare your new base level of fitness to your previous one.)  All classes have a combination of endurance, speed and interval training.  As the classes progress, the strength exercises increase in intensity and Suzanne lengthens endurance efforts.  The classes build toward longer intervals at higher exertion with less recovery.  The final class returns to the same set of baseline intervals and endurance drills as the first class in order to evaluate the improvement in perceived exertion and fitness.  Heart rate monitors are highly recommended.

New weekly recovery class

September 21, 2011 – 9:40 pm

Recovery is an important component of any good training program.  Without recovery our body cannot maintain the rigors of a weekly exercise program or a sport specific training schedule.  During recovery our body can begin to replenish energy stores while working to repair tissue damage.

The Training Room’s Recovery and Flexibility class incorporates techniques such as soft tissue release through the use of foam rollers, alignment exercises based on yoga principles, dynamic or “movement based” stretching, and static or “traditional” stretching to maintain flexibility and increase range of motion.

This class will help to promote muscle recovery by reducing tension and trigger points, and improving blood flow to over-taxed muscles.  Over time, a well-rounded flexibility program will not only increase your range of motion, but help to keep injuries and muscle imbalances from setting in.

Not just for the dogs

Space is limited to 12 participants, so be sure to reserve your space online.
