When instructing participants on proper (seated) spinning technique:
  1. They should be instructed to emphasize the down stroke of the pedal as that is where the most power comes from.
  2. They need to emphasize the upstroke so that the hamstrings get a good workout.
  3. They should aim for an even pedal stroke with even pressure all the way around.
  4. None of the above.
Explanation
Answer: C - When instructing participants on proper (seated) spinning technique, instructors should tell participants to aim for an even pedal stroke with even pressure all the way around. An even pedal stroke is the most efficient way to pedal a bicycle or spinning bike. This is known as “pedaling circles” rather than “pedaling squares”.
