give your legs a break, but make your arms fall off.

arm song

The arm song is not only a break for your legs but the time to burn out the upper body making it a full body class.

Riders will also know where they are in the journey of the ride since the arm song is always in the same place. It is another way to have everyone moving together on the beat or even teach people the beat.

In general an arm song is 128 bpms. Aim to make the arm song 4.5-6 minutes long. Make sure you are including adequate breaks or release of tension to the upper body.

You can use a different rpm if you appropriate the work correctly. If you use faster, move in smaller ranges of motion. If you use slower, do double weights and one armed.
