Over the weekend, I installed a set of PowerCranks on my road bide for the winter training season. If you're not familiar with the PowerCranks, "It integrates a one-way clutch in each crank-arm of a bicycle and each leg can drive the bicycle but one leg cannot assist the other. This forces the use of all the muscles of the lower extermity and may core muscles in a balance and coordinated fashion"I decided to take two bikes to spin class last night, just incase the PowerCranks got the best of me. It took a while to get use to them, but I eventually got the hang of it and settled down in for the 2 hour class. One hour into the class, jonnyj decided to do 3 standing sets of 10 minutes...well that was the end of my powercranks...just found my weakness with the cranks. I quickly swapped out the bikes and was back on track with the class. I am planning to put the bike on my trainer to get some more practice in before Thursday...and of course I am looking forward to Thursday spin class. Power It Up!
