The Cyclist’s Spin Class

 

 

Recently opened in a bright and lofty brownstone on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is T2 Multisport, a cycling training center for competitive athletes and recreational “Spinners” alike. T2 is founded by Robert Pennino, Founder and CEO of the Terrier-Tri Triathlon, Cycling & Marathon Club. Pennino’s goal was to create a triathlon training facility in NYC, where none existed, open to all athletes, teams and coaches. T2 stands for “Transition 2”, the transition stage from bike to run in a triathlon.

The cheerful space does not feel like your typical NYC gym, but a cool hangout for cyclists and triathletes. The walls are covered with riders own bicycles and 20 beautiful new Specialized Allez bicycles. Wanting to appeal not just to competitive athletes, but to those who might not have their own bikes, Pennino engaged Specialized as a partner. They loved the concept of a “Spin Class on a Real Bike”.

The indoor cycling at T2 is done in group classes on CompuTrainers, computerized bicycle resistance trainers which simulate real courses and real riding. CompuTrainers and other bicycle resistance trainers are a regular part of training for cyclists and triathletes. Pennino wanted to offer this kind of cycling workout to “spinners” as well. As Lucy Danziger, Editor-In-Chief of Self Magazine, a competitive triathlete, Ironman finisher and investor in the facility says, “CompuTrainers are highly beneficial for overall fitness. It’s a tool all the pros use. Even those who can ride outside all year long choose to train indoors because it’s such an efficient workout”. Read More

How To Get This!

 
PHOTOGRAPH BY FABRIZIO FERRI

 

This week in THE TRAINER’S CORNER, we are thrilled to have renowned celebrity and supermodel trainer DAVID KIRSCH! A fitness and wellness leader for more than 20 years, Kirsch has trained some of the most famous women in the world including Liv Tyler, Naomi Campbell, Julia Roberts, Heidi Klum, Linda Evangelista, Karolina Kurkova, Kerry Washington and most recently, Kate Upton – getting her in cover ready shape for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. His clients refer to him as a body sculptor, and his specialty – a beautiful backside! Kirsch says “No two clients’ bodies are alike. The same can be said about their butts. Some want more booty, others less; some want it higher and rounder; some smaller and tighter”.

With that in mind we present David Kirsch’s “Beautiful Butt Camp” designed to address all these issues and more! The key to the following exercise circuit, Kirsch says, is to “Put Your Brain in Your Butt”. Whether it’s a lunge or squat, anchor in your heel and not the ball of your foot. The objective is to burn the glutes, not the quads. If you’re feeling it in your quads, STOP and readjust!  The following set of exercises should be done as a circuit – one right after the other without rest. Perform 15 repetitions for each exercise. Good luck, have fun, and kick ass!

SQUATS

1) Start with your feet shoulder-width distance apart and perfectly upright posture.
2) Bend at the knees, keeping your weight over your heels until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
*Modification: Leaning against a wall will provide extra balance. Your feet should be 18-24 inches from the wall, and shoulder-width distance apart. Squat as deeply as your knees and back allow.
*Modification: If you’re looking for more of a challenge, grab a pair of hand weights. Read More

The classes utilize rowers, free weights, kettlebells, suspension trainers, plyo boxes, medicine balls and more in what they call a FHIX (Functional High Intensity Mix) of exercise moves. Each class is unique but always delivers their signature five essential building blocks for optimal results: (1) functional movements (2) strength training (3) high intensity intervals (4) total body focus (5) highly varied exercises. Following the trend of a la carte fitness, this is a great workout to add to your fitness platter!

The Trainers Corner

 

 

Although there is still a chill in the air, it’s April and Spring has officially sprung. Summer and all its body baring clothing are just weeks away. If you’ve been slacking this winter, its time to get the rear in gear! Week to week from THE TRAINERS CORNER we will be bringing you tips, workouts, gear and apparel to get you motivated, looking good and feeling great.

This week in THE TRAINERS CORNER, we have SoulCycle Master Instructor and STYLE OF SPORT Contributing Fitness Editor, Stacey Griffith, who has created a special SOS workout, the “10×10”. It’s a 10 minute, down and dirty, quickie workout designed to get the job done fast. There are 10 basic exercises everyone knows how to do, performed for 1 minute each. Other than a jump rope, no equipment is required, so this routine can be done anywhere anytime. Plus we’ve got some hot tunes to go with it!

So if you haven’t been working out, this is a great place to start, and if you have, it’s a great extra 10 minute boost of power to add to your routine.

THE ROUTINE

1. JUMP ROPE  
2. PUSH-UPS. Straight legs or knees on the floor
3. SQUATS. Keep the knees at 90 degrees!
4. CRUNCHES. Legs up, knees bent, feet on the floor…. your choice 
5. JUMPING JACKS
6. TRICEP DIPS. Can be done off a bench, chair or sofa. With arms behind you and heels on the floor, lower your butt towards the floor and use your triceps to push back up again.
7. LUNGES. Alternate legs and keep the knees at 90 degrees.
8. PLANK: Arms at 90 degrees, forearms on the floor, legs straight, flat back.
9. TOE TOUCHES. Stand with feet apart and arms straight out to the side. Bend and touch left hand to right foot. Alternate.
