The only thing better than marveling at all the cycling classes that you can take on your MYX II bike is finally starting your new favorite workout. You'll find yoga, barre, and strength training on the platform, of course, but the main attraction here is the huge selection of both live and on-demand spin classes you can try.
MYX+Openfit is a rich platform that's constantly adding new bike workouts on a near-weekly basis. If you're searching for your next session on the MYX II, here are some top picks to load on its attached tablet.
1. Scenic Ride: Grand Tetons
The Grand Tetons MYX bike ride is a top-ranking workout—and with good reason. Explore the Grand Teton National Park on Your MYX II bike, getting your miles in for the day without leaving home.
Chill, modern beats only heighten your sense of curiosity as you ride. Every twist and turn on this course is absolutely breathtaking, especially with the addition of the MYX II's high-definition onboard monitor.
Whatever the weather, you can enjoy all the excitement of a destination bike trip, minus the risk and the hassle. This is just one of many MYX Scenic Rides that you can choose from, but it's one of the best.
You can access this and the other cycling workouts in this list by searching for them on the tablet attached to your MYX II Indoor Cycling Bike.
2. Lauren Sambataro's 20-Minute Disco Warm-Up
If you've got to start somewhere, it may as well be this workout with Lauren. This funky challenge will get your heart pumping. It's one of the best ways to get your day started, especially if you have an extended workout session planned for afterward.
What makes this workout great? First, the disco playlist is excellent. Lauren is also extremely encouraging and helpful for anybody still working out their form on a MYX bike.
Cadence control, posture, and heart rate management are all priorities here. Ms. Sambataro's training style is hands-on and a great introduction to spin cycling at home.
3. 10-Minute HIIT for Heart Health
If you're tracking your heart rate zones and constantly find yourself in Zone 3, a HIIT cycling class on Openfit will be an invigorating and challenging experience. You don't even need to dismount for this HIIT workout, making it perfect for true cycling obsessives who hate passively sitting through an entire ride.
Upbeat pop music keeps things lively and interesting. This MYX class is only ten minutes long, so it's great for those mornings when you're short on time and need to sweat it out before beginning your day.
If resistance is your game, you may alternatively be interested in one of the MYX Endurance Rides that you'll find on Openfit. They offer a serious workout for your lower extremities. Did somebody say leg day?
4. MYX Cycling Recovery Rides
There are many MYX bike classes that fall under the recovery category, and while you might not think of them as challenging workouts, your body will thank you. Many people are less than meticulous with their cool-down routines at times. A recovery ride followed by a gentle, guided yoga stretch or foam-rolling session will give your body time to process the ordeal you just put it through.
The majority of Openfit recovery classes offer a brief stretching routine on the bike and at least one or two low-intensity intervals of slow, non-resistant pedaling. You're giving your body time to heal, and you've even got a moment to check Instagram as you center yourself once again.
5. Heart Rate Zone Calibration Ride
Before partaking in any of the above, you'll need to take the MYX Calibration Ride—your maiden voyage on the MYX II. This preliminary fitness test pinpoints the three major heart rate zones that you'll strive for as you take full advantage of the MYX+Openfit universe.
This 20-minute spin workout ensures that each session thereafter is a perfect custom fit for your needs and current capability. For the best baseline results, MYX recommends that you take this test after a good night's sleep, preferably before you've had any caffeine for the day.
Professional Training at Home on MYX and Openfit
