SoulCycle Castro의 정문 밖에서 현기증을 느끼며 숨을 헐떡이며 두 번째(이번에는 대형) Smart Water를 들이키며 Apple Watch를 흘끗 보았습니다. 481칼로리 소모되었습니다. 눈이 번쩍 뜨이는 순간을 겪었습니다. 참고로 SoulCycle에서의 평균 칼로리 소모량은 약 260-280입니다(Barry의 Bootcamp, 댄스 유산소 운동 등도 마찬가지입니다). 그러나 이것은 아무데도 가지 않는 자전거를 타고 영적으로 힘을 얻는 나의 전형적인 댄스 파티가 아니었습니다. 이것은 새로운 종류의 고문 훈련인 SoulActivate였습니다.
For my first SoulActivate class, I suffered at the hands of was trained by the eminent Ian McAndrew, SoulCycle 수석 강사 , 수석 마스터 강사 및 강사 교육 디렉터의 추가 코칭 자넷 피츠제럴드 , who was in the room to observe the inaugural class in San Francisco. After riding SoulCycle weekly for a couple years and feeling pretty at home in the front row, I have to say this class scared the sh*t out of me at first. But once I overcame the fear, I was hooked.
'좀 더 폭력적으로 굴어라'(축어적으로 Janet은 놀러 온 게 아니다), 인간의 힘에 의해 물리적으로 움직이는 자전거(말 그대로 휠리를 터뜨렸습니다), 내 주변 반경 1~2피트까지 땀을 흘리는 땀구멍, 방 구석구석에서 긴장과 피로에 대한 고통스러운 울부짖음 등으로, 이것은 제가 평소에 탭백을 하는 것과 1995년 머라이어 캐리가 현란한 디스코 볼 아래에서 하는 것과 상당히 병치된 것이었습니다. 강사가 나에게 말하자 기쁨의 눈물을 흘렸습니다. ~할 수 있다 새로운 사람이 되어 과거를 버리세요.
What makes this class so aggressive — and different? 'In a typical SoulCycle class, you're sustaining a high heart rate for an extended period of time. We spike your heart rate and keep it there,' McAndrew told 247CM. 'With SoulActivate, you're using the body in a completely different way — we work with heart rate variations to increase calorie burn.'
그가 설명하는 것처럼 SoulActivate는 고전적인 SoulCycle 운동의 '지구력' 데이에 대한 '파워' 데이입니다. '사이클링을 선택한 운동이라면 스튜디오 내에서 교차 훈련할 수 있는 능력을 얻을 수 있습니다.'라고 그는 말했습니다. '만약 당신이 체육관에 간다면, 예를 들어 당신이 엄청난 리프터라면 체육관에 가서 운동을 하지는 않을 것입니다. 오직 인내력의 날이 있거나 오직 파워 데이를 보내세요 - [교대로].' 그는 Activate가 열렬한 SoulCycler의 루틴을 완벽하게 보완한다고 말했습니다.
Here's how the format of the class works:
You may have noticed there's no choreography — that's kind of the point here. In fact, McAndrew says this component makes SoulActivate more accessible to newbies, despite the fact that many longtime riders consider this class to be quite challenging. New riders who are intimidated by the idea of keeping up with the pack won't have to stress over synchronized quick-fires and double tap backs.
Is this class 실제로 harder? That's debatable. McAndrew says that it's simply using your heart in a different way — and that was definitely reflected by my heart rate monitor when I compared this class against my previous SoulCycle classes. There was a lot of up and down vs. the usual sustained high. 'This class format gets your heart rate into an anaerobic state right away,' said McAndrew, noting that the first 15 minutes are imperative to set the tone for the rest of your workout. Getting into this anaerobic state is essential for calorie burn, fat burn, and increasing your metabolism (with the 'afterburn').
Heart rate monitors were instrumental in the creation of SoulActivate. Janet — alongside Master Instructor and Director of Talent Acquisition and Program Development Marvin Foster Jr. — worked with exercise scientists in New York, whom McAndrew said 'worked with Olympic and professional athletes,' to create this new athletically based class. 'Jamie, one of the doctors, wore different heart rate monitors to different classes with different teachers' and 'worked on it for over a year' in order to get it right. The goal? Provide a new way of cross-training at Soul, create a class with a killer calorie burn, add a 'power day' into the mix, and stop 'adaptation syndrome,' aka the body adjusting to a workout and plateauing.
It hit all the marks. Did I nearly vomit all over the side bar? Yes. Did I fail to muffle my scream as I moved my bike to an almost 45-degree angle from its initial position during a push? Yes, that happened too. Did I think that Ian McAndrew was a sadist at one or more points during the 60-minute class? Debatable. But did I get a completely new workout and burn sh*ttons of calories? Absolutely.
My tips for your first SoulActivate? Don't let nerves get the best of you (that'll only make you feel more pukey ), give yourself at least an hour to digest your food before class, bring 둘 물(클러치)을 사용하고 심박수 모니터를 착용하여 차이를 직접 확인할 수 있습니다.
