What would be good workout for a spin bike session?

At my gym they have the spin bike classes, however, I don't like them. So I'm trying to find out what would be a good structure to a spin session.





For example, in classes that I have participated in and enjoyed they started of with a six minute hill (medium tension), then into some standing up work, into sprints etc.





I'm just wondering what are some structures that I could follow?|||You want to start out with an easy 10 min ride and then start pedaling at 70-90 rpm's with just enough resistance to get your heart rate to 70-80 % of your max. That will help you burn fat, do that for 20-30 min and then start going sprints or simulated hill climbs for 30-90 seconds and then drop back down to recover. Once you recover do it again. Once you get warmed up you can do anything you want but you want to do it for 45-60 min.|||You need to decide what your goal is, fat burning, more endurance, more power, etc. Then talk to the instructor about what you need to do to reach your goal. With out a goal your just turning pedals and the from the sound of it, this is a non-targeted work-out and designed for a generic spin class.
