Like all the LES MILLS™ programs, a new RPM™ class is produced every three months with new music and choreography.
What will RPM™ do for me?
- Increase your cardiovascular fitness, burn fat and tone and shape your legs, hips and butt
- Gain leg strength and muscular endurance – without building bulk
- Burn up to 800 calories in one hour. In a normal 45-minute class structure, you can potentially burn 600 calories
- Release endorphins giving you that natural high – and leaving you feeling fantastic
Describe A Typical Class:
Your RPM™ instructor will lead your ride through nine music tracks, using various riding positions and speeds to suit the terrain.
- Warmup - Warm up the legs and increase the blood supply to the working muscles.
- Pace - The intensity increases as you work through intervals of speed to prepare for the demands of the class ahead.
- Hills - Designed to increase leg strength and endurance, you perform a series of climbs with increasing intensity.
- Mixed Terrain - After some initial active recovery, we ride a series of fast fl ats and short climbs.
- Intervals - You burn lots of calories in this track! It’s a race simulation with a series of attacks which will peak your heart rate. The main objective is to work and recover through interval training.
- Speed Work - After some initial active recovery, you develop fast leg speed through high-speed intervals.
- Mountain Climb - As in Track 3, the focus is on strength and endurance in a series of climbs that build in intensity. This is the last working track.
- Ride Home - Finish the journey and recover by lowering the heart rate and fl ushing the working muscles.
- Stretch - A final stretch to complete the workout and assist recovery.
