Are you ready to take your spin workouts to a whole new level? Look no further than MINT, where we’re thrilled to introduce our newest cycle instructor, Bridget  Murdoch. With her passion for fitness and infectious energy, Bridget is set to bring a unique and exhilarating experience to your indoor cycling sessions.

Bridget’s journey as a fitness instructor began in high school when she started attending spin classes with her parents at a local studio. Inspired by the energetic atmosphere and the sense of community, she soon found herself teaching the studio’s “Teen Spin” rides geared towards younger participants. Since then, Bridget has been honing her teaching skills and sharing her love for group fitness with riders of all ages.

So, what drove Bridget to become a fitness instructor? As a lifelong athlete and former college volleyball player, she thrives on the camaraderie and teamwork that group fitness provides. With her big personality and enthusiasm for motivating others, teaching fitness classes was a natural fit for Bridget.

When you attend one of Bridget’s classes, you can expect a teaching style that is all about the fun factor. She brings the energy of a dance party to the cycling studio, incorporating elements like dancing, singing, and even imagining yourself in a music video or at a concert. Her carefully curated playlists feature dance EDM and pop tracks with upbeat choruses that keep you engaged and motivated throughout the ride. You won’t just be spinning; you’ll be experiencing a full-on adrenaline-fueled adventure.

While Bridget’s specialty lies in indoor cycling, she has also taught a mixed martial arts and kickboxing class, showcasing her versatility as an instructor. Whether you’re looking for a heart-pumping cycling workout or a high-intensity martial arts session, Bridget has the expertise to guide you toward your fitness goals.

For those who are new to spin, Bridget offers some valuable advice. Arriving early to class is essential to ensure you get a proper bike setup and learn the fundamentals of riding with good form. Once you’re ready to go, Bridget’s top tip is to challenge yourself with resistance. While riding quickly with minimal resistance may be tempting, the real gains in strength and endurance come from pushing yourself with heavier wheels and incorporating seated climbs into your workout.

When she’s not leading exhilarating spin classes, Bridget enjoys spending time outdoors in Washington, D.C. One of her favorite activities is taking leisurely walks in Rock Creek or gathering with friends for a relaxing picnic in the park. It’s all about balance and enjoying the vibrant city she calls home.

Beyond her work at MINT and her passion for fitness, Bridget has built a successful career in Recruiting and People Strategy for high-growth tech startups. You can find her on LinkedIn if you’re interested in connecting with her for consulting or project-based work.

We connected with our long-time cycle instructor, Chuck Harney, to share the benefits of indoor cycling! Even though cycling can be referred to as a whole-body workout, cycling is the ultimate leg workout that not only targets your lower body but also delivers a host of other incredible benefits. If you’re looking to strengthen and tone those leg muscles while getting your heart pumping, cycling is the way to go.

1. Pump Up Your Leg Muscles: When you exercise for a significant length of time, it toughens and revitalizes muscles and acts as effective strength training. The constant relaxation and contraction of muscles while cycling is a strong exercise that aids in muscle toning.
2. Strength Training with a Twist: Cycling is like strength training in disguise. Stationary bikes are an excellent option if you want to build strength and endurance. Biking targets most of the muscles in your lower body and can create quite an impact, depending on the resistance settings.  
3. A Heart-Pumping Cardio Adventure: Cycling isn’t just about those legs—it’s a whole-heart affair. One of the main benefits of exercise bikes is that they provide an excellent cardiovascular workout. Cycling on an exercise bike can help to strengthen your heart, increase lung capacity, and improve circulation. They also help to tone and strengthen your muscles, targeting your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. By adjusting the resistance and incline on your exercise bike, you can increase the intensity of your workout and target specific muscle groups.
4. Uphill Challenges for Your Muscles: Cranking up the resistance on your exercise bike or conquering uphill routes takes your leg workout to a whole new level. Riding uphill is hard work and it places a high amount of stress on both your glutes and thigh muscles, giving them a hard time, a harder workout, and stimulating muscle fiber damage. This damage is what your body needs to tone those leg muscles. Once they recover from the stress, you’ll be rocking some serious strength and definition.
5. Hello, Gluteus Maximus Muscles: Cycling has a special surprise for you—the ultimate gluteal workout. Your gluteus maximus, the star of the show, is hard at work during each pedal stroke. It’s responsible for kicking off the downward phase of your cycling motion, making your rear end firmer and more lifted. Who can say no to that extra toning and lift? Get ready to give your glutes some well-deserved attention.
6. Low-Impact, High-Intensity: Here’s the best part: cycling is a low-impact exercise that’s gentle on your joints. Cycling offers a lower risk of injuries while giving your leg muscles a thorough workout. So, pedal away without worrying about your joints and enjoy the benefits of a challenging yet safe leg-toning activity.

If you haven’t tried an indoor cycling class yet, it’s time to jump on that bike and explore a variety of classes via our class schedule. Find an instructor who pushes you to your limits and makes you question your sanity (in a good way), and stick with it. Trust us, the rewards will be worth every pedal stroke. So, let’s embrace the awesomeness of cycling and pedal our way to greatness!
