Whether you catch it on Fox, Hulu or a DVD, you most likely wouldn't be looking over this article unless you were somewhat acquainted with Glee, the most popular musical TV show in which a high-school Spanish teacher becomes the director of the school's Glee club, looking to restore it to the former glory.
Lately, because the weather is continuing to grow colder and that i continue to train for triathlon with indoor cycling workouts, I have found myself frequently stumbling over the weekly discharge of Glee. And that i gotta say, although I was a little wary in the beginning, like a fan of music and a guy who loves to sing, I now kinda dig the show.
And thus, in that breathless, stinky place where sweating meets singing, I've created the official Glee Indoor Cycling Workout. So what can be superior than burning calories, building quads, but still enjoying your preferred tunes sung by Thirty year old actresses pretending to be senior high school cheerleaders? This workout considers an average of 4 songs per episode, and an approximate period of 50 minutes with commercials. If the episode has more than 4 songs, you may be going to hate me.
So, here's the way the Glee indoor Cycling Workout goes:
1) Begin the workout by warming up in a pedaling cadence (RPM) of 80, along with a perceived exertion or effort degree of 60% intensity. Yes, you will need a cycling computer, power meter, or any other device to help keep tabs on how fast you're pedaling, although in a pinch, you could simply count how many times your leg turns over in 6 seconds, and give a 0. Throughout the warm-up, your legs should not be burning, but your heart rate should increase by a minimum of 20-30 beats above resting level. Make a mental or physical note of the actual resistance or gearing you're at during the warm-up, as you will need to reference this later. If you're on a regular bike, you ought to be on your big chain-ring in the front along with a low gear (large number of teeth) within the back.
If you're on the spin bike or indoor gym bicycle, simply select a low resistance setting. Continue the warm-up intensity before the "Glee" cast breaks into the FIRST song from the episode.
2) Once that first song begins, don't improve your cycling resistance or gearing, but bring your cadence as much as 90+ RPM and hold for the whole first song. Fortunately, the majority of the songs on Glee are upbeat and will naturally inspire you to definitely pedal faster, unless you're unlucky enough to experience a slow and whining ballad by Lea Michele, in which case you may just need to imagine an AC/DC tune.
3) Once that first song ends, do one final, 20 second, all-out maximum effort, then return to a resistance that's ***one gear or level more difficult than the one you warmed-up at***. Hold this resistance until the
second song from the episode.
4) When that second song begins, bring your gearing or resistance back once more to the effort it was at for the first song, and repeat the 90+RPM effort before the song ends, then once more finish having a 20 second maximum intensity effort.
5) Next 20 second effort, go back to a resistance that's ***one gear or level more difficult than what you pedaled at between your third and fourth song***.
6) Continue this progression until the end of Glee: the 90+rpm effort during each song to the 20 second maximum effort following the song, followed by return to previous resistance setting plus one.
7) Cool-down by spinning easy throughout the credits.
***note: stand and pedal at 75-80% during all commercials if you're watching with commercials, but who that within the age of Tivo and HULU?

This indoor cycling workout is a perfect combination of fast efforts, high cadence pedaling, and slower, strength-based hill climbing that grows increasingly more difficult as the Glee episode proceeds. If you have your own improvements or questions about this Glee Indoor Cycling Workout, be sure to leave your comment. Finally, when motivation becomes an issue, simply closer your eyes and think of the scowling face of Sue Sylvester telling you to operate harder.
