What each level should feel like

What each level should feel like

SPINTERTAINMENT’S unique Heads Up Display (HUD) makes it easy to follow along to our workouts with a very large variety of bikes. As long as your trainer has some sort of adjustable resistance system you’re good to go! On a manual indoor bike trainer this may mean changing the gears on the bike itself, on Spin and exercise bikes it will usually come in the form of a knob or lever.

The HUD includes a number of key metrics which are important to be aware of to follow along with our workouts:

Cadence (RPM) - This is the rate that you’ll be pedaling at. Many bikes and training systems include a Cadence meter which allow you to match your rate perfectly with that of the video. If yours doesn’t, don’t worry! The beat of every song in a Spintertainment video is perfectly matched up to current Cadence, which means to ride at the proper pace you just have to pedal to the music!

Level (Rate of Perceived Exertion) - This is where your bike’s resistance becomes important. When the HUD indicates that you are at a Level 5 your bike should be at a resistance you could comfortably ride at for an hour or more. Level 1 should feel like a breeze, and level 10 should be as hard as you can go. This represents your Rate of Perceived Exertion. Because every bike is different and so is every person’s limits, you’ll need some practice to figure out what each level means for your particular bike.

Position - Indicates what sort of interval you’re riding through, and whether you should be in a standing or sitting position as you ride.

Total Time Progress Bar - Helps you track your progress through the workout and gives you an idea of what’s coming up.

Smart Trainer Integration

Integration with smart trainers is a great experience! We are working on funding/developing our own app but in the meantime we recommend using Zwift or the TrainerRoad app. This solution only works with 2 devices, one playing the video and the other to control your smart trainer. Syncing the 2 programs up is not an elegant process but does work and once you are going is a really fun ride.

Zwift requires downloading the workout files from the links below. Copy them to the appropriate destination on your computer and they will show up as custom workouts inside the Zwift App.

Zwift workouts are simple ".zwo" files, so sharing them just requires knowing how to access the file system on your Zwift device. When you download them they will be in your “Downloads” folder. Just cut or copy the files over to the Zwift folder. See below

PC/MAC

  • Add to your library: Any .zwo files moved to your Documents\Zwift\Workouts\<<Numeric Zwift ID>> folder will be added to your custom workouts menu the next time you launch the game.
