I find one & two-count jumps just useless. Everybody gets lost and my pedal stroke slows way down. However, my current instructor is doing 4-count jumps. This is challenging without a lot of flailing. Gets my heart rate up and strengthens my core.

I teach jumps to the riders but encourage them to jump at their own pace. They are like doing mini intervals. They can speed up out of saddle or in, and then slow pace back to "base pace" when they want to recover. As in all cases in a spinning class, you have to have a reasonable amount of gear on the flywheel or you just ain't doin' the work. The flywheel is.
