Cyclists ; Why must I keep my foot flat as I peddle? I tend to point my toe down at times.
In my spin classes the instructor is saying to not point your toe down and keep your foot flat though the pedal stroke. However I tend to point my toe a bit. Is this to keep more power going into the stoke?

(Hard class for me, with lots of intervals and hills HR was peaking allot! I was as sweaty mess by the end. GOOD CLASS!) The bike keeps track of…
