Spinning exercise or studio
cycling is not only popular
these days it's an excellent
form of fitness. It helps
strengthen your heart, tone
your glutes, calves, thighs
in addition to being a great
exercise to slim legs.
Spinning exercise classes
usually consist of about 12
to 20 people. Classes range
from 50 to 60 minutes and
are set to music. The instructor
takes the class on a ride
that includes all types of
terrain that produces a great
spinning workout.
If you are the type of person
who doesn't care for traditional
exercise classes, this form
of exercise is perfect for
you. One of the many benefits
of spinning is you will always
feel like you're keeping up
with the class because everyone
finishes at the same time.
The special spinning bicycle
that you pedal has a weighted
flywheel in the front and
makes you feel more like you're
riding on a real bicycle.
The spinning bike allows you
to adjust the tension to keep
pedaling within a comfortable
range for your fitness level.
Adjustments can also be made
to the handlebars and seat
to make you more comfortable.
Here are a few stationary
exercise bike tips before
you start.
Always bring a bottle of water
to class and take frequent
drinks while you ride. Spinning
works up a sweat and it's
important that you keep hydrated.
Also bring a small towel to
wipe away the sweat to keep
more comfortable.
Learn to pace yourself because
spinning exercise classes
can be very high energy. Don't
get caught up in the enthusiasm
so much that you ride beyond
your fitness level.
Wear padded bike shorts or
consider bringing a seat cushion
until you get use to the bike
seat. They tend to be a little
hard on your rear end until
you get use to them.
The first step is to sign
up for a class so you can
start enjoying the benefits
of spinning. Remember like
any class, the instructors
will vary on their focus.
Some take you on an imaginary
ride while other concentrate
on a more rigorous variety
of drills.
If you find you don't like
the style of one instructor,
try another class. It could
be a completely different
experience with an instructor
you like better.
Using a spinning cycle will
give you the aerobic burst
you need to get your heart
racing and boost your endurance.
Just climb on and start pedaling
to your limit for a spinning
exercise workout you'll enjoy.
