EXPERIENCE THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!

TAKE BACK THE CITY [CURRENT RELEASE MAY 2009]
SIZZLER

RPM 43 Sizzler Pace and push – or speed and resistance management – are the main focuses of RPM™ 43. You'll be introduced to the concept of base resistance versus working resistance and in Tracks 2, 4 and 6 you'll be managing your resistance to help you stay on the beat for longer. This, combined with some awesome new music, will really get that heart racing! You're eased into the workout with Ne-Yo's Closer. Take the time to set up the correct cycling position and become familiar with the base and working resistance. Your heart rate will lift in Track 2 with the two one-minute intervals. Katy Perry's Hot n Cold will have you singing along before the hard work hits in Track 3. The Killers'Spaceman will help you through the three short, steep phases which are followed by one power effort. Snow Patrol's Take Back The City is a great track to catch your breath to during the cruisy climbs but get ready to push yourself in the sprints. The Prodigy are in the house driving Track 5 – a big song, big sound and intense interval training track. There are four efforts on the flats in the hardest gear which will have you gasping for air. You get the chance to flush your legs and recover in Track 6 – but don't get too comfortable as there are two big, one-minute speed work-efforts. The key to surviving Track 7 is to manage your intensity wisely. Go big but pace yourself as you'll need to put in a huge effort to make it to the top. Two short 30-second efforts are followed by two 90-second strength endurance phases.

Your hard work is rewarded with a ride home to Broken Strings – James Morrison's beautiful hit featuring Nelly Furtado.

RPM™ 43 WITH YOU [FEB 2009]

SIZZLER

Riding to powerful music is what RPM™ 42 is all about. Good Charlotte, The Killers and Billy Idol all come to the party, ensuring your riding experience is one you're going to want to relive over and over. In track 1 an ideal working resistance is established when riding on the beat. This allows you to work safely with control and it creates the workout intensity. Lighthouse Family's I Could Have Loved You envelops you as you gradually build your pace. Then it's game-on in track 2! There's a new concept in this track where you wind down at the end of each sprint phase. This is like sprinting through the finish line – and you never stop just on the line. The resistance is left on while the legs naturally slow to the music. There are three blocks of work in track 3 with the intensity governed by three things – correct use of resistance, correct use of leg speed and being in the right position at the right time. The power climb is intense but the driving song Right By Your Side helps you through! Track 4 is The Killers' hit Human which is definitely a highlight of the release. The drama of this track is at the foreground with a dynamic shift between the smooth feeling in the verses to acceleration onto the beat in the choruses. The key to survival in track 5, Billy Idol's New Future Weapon, is to know how to take rests and when to use the options. There are five big efforts – longer phases of work and shorter recoveries mean this is an incredibly powerful challenge that you will love! Mesmerising music from Armin Van Buuren & DJ Shah featuring Chris Jones allows you to catch your breath momentarily before entering track 7 – the king of the mountain challenge! A remix of Cascada's Because The Night provides the inspiration needed to reach the points of three steep ascents. Its strength endurance training and you're going for the polka-dot jersey! After the climb, you'll have the chance to celebrate the ride and catch your breath as you flush the legs, lower the heart rate and warm down to Chris Brown and James Morrison.

RPM™ 41 INTO THE NIGHT [NOV 2008]

SIZZLER

There’s a whole new approach to RPM™ in this release, with more precision in position, pace and resistance changes as well more variety and more connection with the music! Right from the start, you’ll know where your legs are in RPM™ 41. The key feature in this release is the accurate use of resistance to music — you add load until the legs slow down, and this is the load used when you ride on the beat. The difference in Track 2 is two intense one-minute efforts. This increases your heart rate, opens your lungs and starts testing the legs. You know you’re going to work hard in Track 3 when you start with a standing recovery! There are three summits to attack and you’ll definitely need to save effort for the last, which is a killer! Look forward to the use of the power climb – a seated climb, it’s intensity in the saddle and brings more stability and strength. In Track 5, Simple Plan’s Take My Hand provides the inspiration needed to pull out four huge efforts back to back. You’ll burn maximum calories with big resistance and big gears! There are two long phases with only one recovery in Track 6. First there’s a long build-up to recovery where you build endurance speed followed by an early jump on the beat and some 30-second sprints. There’s only one way out of this release and that’s going up over the mountains in Track 7. It may not be the easiest way out but it’s definitely the most rewarding. Look for the magic combo of four positions where precision is the key. Together we are one tribe — one pack. Everyone starts and finishes the ride together.

RPM® 40 has some great music and is another really intense workout. As always, instructors are key to delivering a life–changing RPM™ experience and in this release you get to focus on two things in particular. First, helping riders feel the connection between the cadences and the music. This creates the energy and drama in the class and gives you the feelings of power and joy that comes from riding to the rhythm. Second is getting riders to reach the right level of intensity during the class by coaching them about how hard to work and for how long and how they should be feeling – especially in the short work phases out of the saddle and during recovery in the saddle. Track 1 sets the scene with a cruisy feel.


Set your participants up with the correct riding resistance at the start of the track and then coach them through the three different leg speeds. Track 5 brings a whole new meaning to interval training – it's intense! Watch out for the preparation phase where we slow down our legs, add two big gears and jump hard out of the saddle! Load up your legs and attack hard for maximum intensity.

The Mountain Climb finishes the workout experience by taking you to the heavens above. It's a tough track, with three distinct phases, and you should encourage your riders to feel three levels of intensity working close to maximum effort each time. Check out the great music in this release, with Seal and J Lo getting us started, a singalong Pretenders' song winding things up, and some huge uplifting songs in between.

RPM® 40 SIZZLER OUT NOW!

SIZZLER

The focus of RPM™ 39 is on challenging experienced participants while seducing new participants with an achievable calorie burning, endorphin high. Watch out for the two innovations — the new climbing position the Pullback Climb, which will engage your hamstrings and butt preparing them to work hard in the saddle, and the Power Climb in Track 7. The Power Climb is like standard racing position but with a big load on and more emphasis on burning calories and increasing levels of fitness in the saddle. There are two bonus tracks in this release to bring you the 60-minute format at its best. One of these tracks is Sarah McLachlan’s Silence which is back by popular request. This is a celebratory Global Summit release and has a great mixture of tracks featuring both old familiar hits and Top 40 releases. Be driven by a huge Pink remix of Who Knew, kick-start your heart with Motley Crue and reach new levels of muscular and anaerobic intensity with the Warp Brothers. A standout song of the release is Seal’s Amazing — the cruisy trance feel automatically takes you to that internal place where you’re riding solo with the music. Together we are one tribe — one pack. Everyone starts and finishes the ride together.

RPM™ 38 HOLD ON [FEB 2008]

SIZZLER

RPM 38 is happy, uplifting, highly energetic and full of power! This release is big in terms of both music and work. Beginner riders will enjoy more options while the seasoned rider and athlete will be pushed to their limit. The concept of maximizing your time to help achieve optimum results has been highlighted in this release. You'll know what's coming up over a 50 minute period so you can take responsibility for your workout and give it your all. The ride begins with the happy, snappy Hold On by KT Tunstall and a new sequence of work is used to warm the legs and set up a great riding technique. Track 3, True Believer, is a hugely motivating song with big contrast and big energy. Riders have to believe in themselves and this song provides inspiration to do so. The lyrics of Airbourne's edgy Rock 'n' Roll song Runnin' Wild will help you focus on the challenge of Track 5. This is pure interval training at its best, burning maximum calories and increasing levels of fitness. The combination of Scooter and Fatman Scoop in Track 7 is priceless and you'll finish the class on a big high. This track is huge! Look out for the massive climb at the beginning of the track. Maroon 5 bring us home with a great track - the inspiring Won't Go Home Without You.

RPM™ 37 RIDING ON THE WINGS [NOV 2007]

SIZZLER

RPM 37 is a fantastic workout with a great selection of music from the old and familiar, to the new and inspirational. The theme song for this release is Turn It Up! In this release, we focus on the three R's: Responsibility plus Resistance equals Results. Participants are urged to take ownership of their workout and give it their all to achieve optinum results. Musically you'll enjoy the latest Maroon 5 song Makes Me Wonder, a remix of the popular Killers track When We Were Young and the instrumental Sunspot which allows you to get into your own space and recover. Track 3 is an oldie but a goodie - the heavy beats and uplifting chorus of Underworld's Underneath the Radar really drives the workout. Bomfunk MC's Turn It Up is track 5 and here you'll find pure interval training at its best. The club mix of Paffendorf's Welcome to Africa in track 7 is a real highlight in this release. There's a big sound with the African chanting and drums and a whole lot of energy is needed to get the most out of this track! The drive beat and pulsing lyrics really help the class reach their peak. Get into RPM 37 and Turn It Up! 'What's Hot and What's Not in RPM' outlines how to use music pre RPM 25. There have been some important changes made to the way tracks have been choreographed in RPM over the last two years and this education session explains the changes in each track and how to manage the new training principles if older music is used.

RPM™ 36 YOU SPIN ME ROUND [AUG 007]

SIZZLER

RPM 36 will push you to new levels of fitness. The hill climb will make you strong; the interval track burns huge amounts of calories and in the mountain climb the training focus shifts to strength and endurance with two phases of two minute blasts where you really work it! Some longer work phases provide a higher top end for those athletes who want it. RPM is increasingly appealing to outdoor sports enthusiasts who are using the class in their training for events and the new class is great for this. Musically, we've got a great mix of sounds starting with Jamiroquai's funky and uplifting Little L. The beats-per-minute rate a little faster than normal to provide some great energy for the start of the class. A fun remake of the classic You Spin Me Right Round sets the scene for the pace track, which sets the riders up for the demands of the workout. I Like To Move It follows and this has a great driving beat that will maximize the workout experience - this is the first big challenge in the class. Get ready for some dance rock in the interval track with Painkiller. Power is the name of the game here and the rules are simple - the higher load you push, and the faster you do it, the more power you're producing. The mountain climb is another highlight, with the trancey-bongo feel in the remix of Safri Duo's Played-A-Live. The training focus shifts to strength endurance as the music builds and makes you really want to move! This is a massive workout guaranteed to maximize fitness gains and caloric expenditure. The RPM education session is a 'focus and feel' teaching instructors how to coach the riders effectively so they achieve the benefits for each interval type.

RPM™ 35 CRAZY [MAY 2007]

SIZZLER

Riders take to the road again for a journey that is already adding to the science of RPM - everyone riding the video masterclass was wearing a Polar heart rate monitor. The results of the monitoring have been graphed and will be given to instructors in the education session to demonstrate the effects of interval training embodied in the RPM coaching model.Alternating periods of work and recovery remain at the heart of the program to ensure success for all with teachers encouraged to constantly stress to participants the benefits of interval training for burning calories and building strength and endurance. RPM 35 kicks off with a funky Latino sound to hook you into the ride and get you comfortable in the sddle. Then the pace is on as we ride the RPM cadence ladder in the three stages of "half", "building" and "top pace" to prepare the body for the work ahead. Motiv8's Riding on the Wings is a standout track to drive the first hill climb, with another top tune from Snow Patrol for the mixed terrain.An RPM innovation sees riders testing themselves in an individual time trial in Track 5 - Guns N' Roses Paradise City will blast them to a great result.Riders can enjoy their own 'pace and space' as they hit the open road with the cruisey sound of Dario G. Then the packs goes hard out for a towering five-phase mountain climb that delivers the ultimate interval training experience

RPM™ 34 RUNNING [FEB 2007]

SIZZLER

Music sets the pace in this great new class, where riders work and recover to a diverse mix of rhythm and sound. Teachers can dial back the coaching cues and let the music create the journey- and a life-changing fitness experience. There's plenty of opportunity for the athlete to work to their potential- training for that upcoming road race or triathlon- and for the amateur exerciser to burn some calories, get fit and have some fun. The pack sets off to a 70s disco sound from Scissor Sisters and extend their warmup to an upbeat take on the Boney M hit, Daddy Cool. Riders hit the hills ready and willing in track #3 and switch to a mix of flats and climbs to the sweet, motivational sound of Kiwi band, Evermore. A big cover version of the INXS hit, Pretty Vegas, sets the scene for a four-interval training blast; then speed is the key as we fly to the haunting sound of the Canadian songstress Sarah McLachlan. Track #7 is one of our biggest ever in terms of sound and work and riders will love the sweet relief to follow, riding home with Santana and country star Michelle Branch and taking a final stretch with You Give Me Something- the new hit from James Morrison.

RPM™ 33 AMAZING [NOV 2006]

SIZZLER

Inspiration! Welcome to the new class riders. It’s all about working with resistance because resistance gets results and results is why people come to RPM™! We use the science and principles of work and recovery so everyone can be successful throughout the class – not going too hard, too soon, but timing their workout so they can master the virtual terrain.

Then it's time to build the pace with a rock-Latin sound from Shakira with three working intervals to prepare the body for the rest of the ride. A remix of Cindy Laupers Time After Time is a familiar sound with a big, rolling beat to fuel a big effort in and out of the saddle as the pack heads to a huge cardio peak. Then we drop into active recovery with the subtle, smooth rhythm of George Michael's Amazing. The new class hits another sky-high peak with the huge sound of I Want You to Want Me - this is a big physical challenge so hook into the music to ensure success. Riders find some peace with the trancey Inspiration from Ian Van Dahl and then dig deep for that little bit extra with the extended, seven-minute Tiesto mix of Love Comes Again.
