Description of workout
In this guided workout you´ll be forced to use a way higher cadence than you´re used to. Why should we create such a workout? It will lead you to increase your actual cadence a little bit. Why do you think elite riders spin their legs faster? There are some answers:
When you pedal faster, you put less strain (i.e. force) on your muscles with each stroke. You ride in a lower gear, and as a result, use your slow-twitch muscles. These muscles burn fat for fuel, resist fatigue, and recover quickly when allowed to rest. Also, studies show a higher cadence means an increase in blood flow to the muscles – which in turn, means more oxygen in the blood and higher aerobic performance.
Don´t worry! Maybe you won´t be able to maintain the prescribed cadence for the first time but try to be as close as possible and you will see improvement in a few weeks.
