Category - Motivation

Your responsibility as a spin instructor is mainly to:
  1. Coach to the level of the strongest participant, and encourage others to try and keep up.
  2. Coach to the needs and expectations of the participants who attend most regularly.
  3. Coach everyone in the room by offering variable levels of effort for each section.
  4. Set a clear level for the class that you deem suitable.
Explanation
Answer: C -Your responsibility as a spin instructor is mainly to coach everyone in the room by offering variable levels of effort for each section. You should not encourage participants to work at a level too demanding for them, either by setting a program at too high a level of effort or by encouraging them to try to match the effort of a much stronger participant. You should also not restrict strong participants to a lower level of effort for a given section if they are capable of working at a higher level. Develop strategies for your class, such as using heart rate zones or the Borg scale, to help all participants find the right level of effort for them within each section. Coaching everyone in the class in this way encourages and motivates all participants, regardless of fitness level.
