Gym closed. No more spin class. Bought a spin bike for home.
The only instruction I’ve heard from my gym spin trainer in reference to PD is keep rpm’s at 85 for 55 minutes. Not easy.
Anyone have spin input relevant to improving our condition so I’m not wasting an hour. Thanks Joey
Spin with music and that hour will be well worth it!! Turn it up! lol
Hello there, here’s part of an email reply from Nan Little who has been a pioneer in this field, when I queried what was needed a couple of years ago:
There are not any absolute answers to your questions. The disease is different for just about everyone. However, research shows that if you ride 3 hours per week with a 10 minute warm up and 10 minute cool down and 40 minutes at 80-90 rpm, you are most likely to reduce your PD symptoms by 35%. You should try to keep your heart rate between 60-80% of Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). MHR is determined by subtracting your age from 220. So, you are 63 so your MHR is 60-80% of 157. You change the resistance on your bike so you can keep your heart rate in that range and you can keep your cadence at 80-90 rpm. It might seem a little complicated at first, but you get used to it.

Best of luck, hope it goes well
I downloaded Les Mills on demand app. My bike comes next week so I will do RPM (spin classes) as if I was in class.
Search YouTube for indoor cycling or spin class. Gcn, global cycling network has some great videos to follow along to.
no matter what your rate, it's not wasted time
