What is the cadence range for jumps in a spin class?

The cadence range for jumps in a spin class is typically between 80 and 110 rpm. This range allows participants to maintain a safe yet effective rhythm that matches the intensity of the exercise. Jumps are performed by alternating between seated and standing positions, which can challenge both cardiovascular fitness and leg strength. The cadence of 80-110 rpm is ideal because it provides enough momentum for participants to transition smoothly between positions while maintaining control and form. This range also helps ensure that participants can sustain the effort throughout the jump intervals without compromising their technique or increasing the risk of injury.

Options indicating lower cadences generally do not provide the necessary speed for effective jumps, as they may result in a lack of momentum and rhythm. Conversely, the higher range options could lead to overexertion and difficulty maintaining form, which can diminish the benefits of the exercise and potentially cause fatigue or injury.
