    In-Your-Face Fitness: SoulCycle's mix of cycling and upper-body workouts raises concerns
    [LA Times Nov 28th 2011 (print, pre-published online)]

    a really great article, and finally some sense being written... this class may be taken back to what it should be - engaging, specific training delivering results rather than random 'entertainment' workouts
    These classes are based on the theory that it's a good idea to include upper-body exercises in an indoor cycling class, and therein lies my problem with their approach... class participants do push-ups on the handlebars, high-repetition lifting with 1-pound weights and a bunch of abdominal twists, crunches and working of core muscles — all while pedaling.

    so if you are a participant and have ever been asked to do any of those movements, stop waisting your time!

    and if you instruct any of those movements to participants or allow any of those movements in the classes you offer your members, stop waisting their time!

    it's simple, engage your students and cycle the bike! leave the abs/core and weights to their own classes or the gym floor... ;)
