If you're looking for a measurable way to track your progress and get personal training on the bike, I highly recommend trying out a Power Zone class. I've also noticed that when I do regular themed rides it's easier for me to keep up with the called out resistance and cadences! Power Zone Training Conclusion They're not crazy drastic increases, but are improvements enough where my new zones are challenging. Since I started I've noticed my outputs have increased.

I've been hooked on Power Zone Challenges since my first last summer! Power Zone Challenges are unofficial free challenges run by the website Power Zone Pack (PZP). Related Post: What to Eat Before a Peloton Class Power Zone Pack Challenge

If you click yes your bike will update all your zones to your new output goals and they'll show up in every class. Yes, the test is tough but it'd do-able at all fitness levels and after you'll have new shiny zones to work on!Īfter you complete the FTP test, a message will pop up on the bike asking if you want to update your zones. But as the test went on I realized it wasn't anything to be afraid of. I'll be honest: I was very nervous when I first started my FTP test. To get the most accurate zones you want to take a 20 minute FTP test (Functional Threshold Power) and use the output from that to program your zones. The bar will show suggested zones based on your gender and age, but these are just suggests.

To start Power Zone training, you'll need to enable the Power Zone bar in the settings on your bike (it's built into every Peloton bike automatically!). I love having fun on the bike in the themed classes but sometimes I don't find they're challenging enough for me (or sometimes the cadence or resistance is TOO challenging for me).

When I workout I like to know that I'm going to get a good workout in. This customized approach is what got me to fall in love with Power Zone classes. As Matt Wilpers explains it, Power Zones are basically personal training on the bike. Zones are ranges of output (a mix of cadence and resistance) and each zone is customized to your fitness level. Each zone has a different intensity, with Zone 1 being the easiest and Zone 7 the hardest or max effort. Power Zone Training is a type of cycling class that focuses on 7 different zones (a.k.a the power zones). My friend Kieranne, a Power Zone class fan, invited me to participate in a Power Zone Challenge I instantly said yes! It was on my to do list to do more of these classes and now I can say I'm officially obsessed with them! Power Zone Training When I first got my Peloton bike my goal was to try all the different types of classes.
