The 21 Day Comeback Challenge

By

THIS IS YOUR COMEBACK, BABY!
It’s Time To Step Things Up a Notch!

We’ve taken time off, we’ve rested, we’ve cooked, we’ve cleaned, we’ve de-cluttered (and de-cluttered again) and now we are READY to get back into shape. It can be so hard to stay motivated with your fitness goals when you’re stuck at home, and it’s also very easy to get lazy and to forget what it feels like to be fit, energetic and strong…remember what that felt like?

Our 21 Day Comeback Challenge is exactly what you need to back into the swing of things. We are hopeful to get the go-ahead for a partial re-open June 1, and have designed this challenge to prepare you to hit the ground running when you get back into B, or back to your normal fitness routine. Regardless of your current fitness level (or lack of), your time frame (some workouts are only 21 minutes) or your actual self motivation, this challenge is the perfect workout program for everyone!

The Comeback Challenge is simple:
1. Sign up and receive:
– a password to log into the challenge website
– the file to print your own “accountability board”
– a template to share your progress on social media

2. Each day, log into the website and complete the workout of the day (all workouts will remain on the site, so you can redo your favourites, or play catch up if you get busy!)

3. Check off your workout on your accountability tracker

4. Repeat for 21 days

The challenge is designed to start whenever you want…so, you didn’t “miss it” and it’s not “too late.” Now is the perfect time to get started!

The cost of the challenge is $37 and you can sign up here.

If you’re not interested in participating in the challenge, but are still looking for some inspiration, with a donation of your choice, you can have access to our online workout videos, including isolated exercise videos.

If you are a B member who has left their membership running to help support B throughout the last few months, your sign-up fee is waived; simply send us an email letting us know you’d like to participate and we will send you the password and challenge details. We appreciate your support <3

Let’s get this party started, we can’t wait to sweat with you again!

Introducing the BCycle 6 Week Training Program

By

The BCycle Training Program is a spin class for all fitness levels and is designed to accelerate your cycling ability and help you achieve your goals; whether it’s to improve on a Gran Fondo, tackle a charity ride, ride with more experience or simply increase your personal fitness level and cycle knowledge.

In this 6 week registered program, each class will include a warm-up, the workout and a cool down.  The workout portion is executed in intervals that follow a progressive format and periodized structure.  The intervals are designed to help develop stronger cycling in specific zones as well as to help improve technique.  Robin doesn’t ride for this class, her job is solely to be on the floor coaching you each and every step of the way!

The 6 week program runs on Wednesdays at 5:00PM from September 11, 2019 – October 16, 2019 with the fabulous Robin Wallouch.

The breakdown of each class is as follows:

Session 1 (September 11): This workout is designed to find your FTP (Functional Threshold Power) which is commonly defined as the highest average power you can sustain for one hour, measured in watts.  FTP will be used to determine your training zones for all of our sessions going forward and will allow you to measure your improvements over the course of 6 weeks. Our first class will be a 12 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute all out effort which will serve as you bases for what you will do in the 20 minute all out effort.  

Session 2 (September 18):  This session will focus on hard short efforts followed by settling back into a constant effort.  

Session 3 (September 25): Will focus on anaerobic bursts, followed by sweet spot training.  Sweet spot refers to an intensity of training that is hard enough to elicit substantial physiological benefits, but not so hard that as to be unsustainable.  It’s 85-95% of your average threshold power.  

Session 4 (October 2): Will focus on steady building from 75% -115% of your FTP.  

Session 5 (October 9): Will focus on 30 second efforts with short recoveries to boost your VO2 power (just love your FTP)

Session 6 (October 16) :  The super peaks pyramid will focus on short intensity in the anaerobic capacity zone.  This will most likely be the toughest of the 6 sessions.  

The program cost is $180 per person and there are limited spots available so register as soon as you can to ensure your place in this exciting program.

Why You Should Try Taking A Spin Class

By

We’re all looking to better ourselves in one way or another. Oftentimes we are trying to improve our health by committing to a regular workout routine; we join a gym, download an app, or sign up for some classes at the local spin or yoga studio. The truth is, a lot of people aren’t sure what the best fitness option for them is, and find themselves plateauing or even worse, giving up completely. We’re here to tell you that’s okay! You don’t have to love every form of exercise that Kelowna has to offer. What we do want you to do however, is give them a try! You may hate the idea of attending a spin class, bootcamp or lifting weights, but after a few classes you might find yourself actually enjoying the workout, and loving the results – but if you don’t try, you’ll never know!  

We might be biased, but we want to tell you why we think spin is such a great workout for everybody, and encourage you to try a class or two to see if it’s something that will work for you!

  1. You Are Not Alone.
    At B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio, we have community of people all working towards their unique goal, and all of us are doing it together. We ride together, we sweat together, we grow together. Sit in the back, keep to yourself if you want, but the sense of community you’ll belong to will always be there.
  2. It’s Quick & Convenient.
    You might need to ride for hours outside to get a good workout in, but with our Johnny G Spirit Bikes and motivating instructors, our 45 minute spin classes will fly by. The music is loud, the lights are low, the instructors are full of motivation, and the only thing you need to do, is move your legs and adjust the tension and pace when you’re told. No planning, no prep, no thinking – just get on, and ride. We handle the rest.
  3. It’s Not Just Cardio.
    We have a lot of people (*cough*men*cough*) that avoid spin classes because they don’t want to attend a cardio class. While you certainly improve your cardiovascular health, and burn a ton of calories, you are also putting in a LOT of work in building those leg, calf, and core muscles. If you think it’s just a cardio class, just wait and see how sore your legs are after a good class; you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
  4. It’s A Great Low Impact Activity.
    Knee issues are so common today that a lot of people who were once very active and athletic find themselves unable to participate in their normal activities without pain. Another reason to come in for a spin class! Your knees, hips and ankles don’t take the usual impact they would in a lot of other activities. Your joints are kept in check throughout the class and you can (literally) walk away without pain. To top it off, if you are coming back from an injury, spin is one of the best ways to build back strength and muscle without putting too much pressure on the injury.
  5. It’s Fun!
     Again, we might be biased, but if you haven’t been to one of our classes then you don’t know, it is so much fun. With the music blaring, your body moving, the lights changing and the instructor calling out drills and motivation, it’s not hard to forget that you’re in an intensive workout class. Your sweat may remind you, but we promise you’ll leave with a smile!
