Race Day is Huge Success

On Sunday, Feb. 17, hearts were beating faster - and not because it's the season of love...

The reason was the JCC's first "Race Day" event. Instructors Tom, Stacey and Bobbi Sue led the participants in a number of different types of cycling during a grueling, two-hour ride in the JCC's Spinning Studio.

"Their routines are designed to simulate terrain and situations encountered in actual bicycle rides, including hill climbs, sprints and interval training. Coasting downhill, obviously, is easiest to simulate, and most instructors will lead what is called an interval ride, this is where students will sprint, run, climb, and jump all in the same ride," said Beth McCullough, JCC Fitness Specialist. "Since this was such a popular event, we are looking to schedule additional rides periodically throughout the year!"
