Spinning is a cardiovascular cycling workout on a stationary bike on which the tension can be increased, decreased, mileage and lapsed time is kept by a small computer, and calories burned and heart rate can be tracked by using an inexpensive additional heart monitor. When starting a training program, it is recommended to do a cycling-specific fitness test, to determine your maximum heart rate, lung capacity, power and/or lactate threshold.
Utilizing a specially designed stationary bike,spinning classes target both the body and mind in a unique exercise program. Unlike a regular exercise bike workout, spinning involves a variety of movements and speeds, with spinners sometimes standing on the pedals and other times sitting like normal, somtimes pedaling at top speed and other times recovering at a slower pace.
And unlike most modern exercise bikes, a spinner has a large flywheel front wheel, meaning there is real momentum and resistance. But mainly you don't stop pedalling, even for a second, because aerobic exercise brings the greatest positive effects. A Spinning bike is a great addition to your home gym as it offers incredible cardiovascular exercise and muscle toning capabilities.
Unlike other exercises, you can stick with spinning through out the year, there is no stopping you be it rain or shine. Most importantly be patient as this great exercise takes some time to get the basic movements and form whilst working at an increased level. Like other exercise classes, spinning is led by an instructor, who barks out commands throughout the 40- to 60-minute session. And like most other exercise classes, spinning starts out with a warm-up and stretching.
Each instructor will lead you on an exciting cycling journey accompanied with inspiring music that will challenge you both mentally and physically. In the main zone, you are taken through various speeds and positions of cycling which ensure your back, feet and stomach get excellent exercise, keeping in mind your capacity and body type. Keep an eye on the other spinners around you for tips on how to move -- that's a nice feature about being in a class, is that you are in a big motivated group all working together to burn calories and get fit.
Spinning has become one of the most popular ways to increase cardiovascular health and burn calories in a fun environment. Spinning also helps you to develop new muscles, these additional muscles increases the metabolism and will therefore help you to burn more calories. Not only do you burn a few hundred calories per class but you also have fun while doing it. To really burn fat we have to take our heart rate up to around 60 per cent of our maximum capacity.
