Spinning classes what is it good for

In fact, indoor cycling low-impact workouts accommodate ailments, are easy on injuries, support joint and tendon health, and are excellent for the longevity of your fitness regime.

What does this imply? It unites innovation in indoor stationary bike technology with an unprecedented cycling experience on the road. You can even wear the same shoes and clip in just like you would outdoors. Watch this video!

The important detail to remember is that you can ride through it all. Push through difficult hill climbs and coast through the flats. Both are a part of your time on the bike. This mental self-discipline increases with each pedal stroke and can be applied to other areas of your life involving self-control or confidence. But the others went ahead without me and fed back their shock and horror afterwards.

The general consensus being that we were all drastically unfit, and this was going to be no easy ride. I found my first class pretty difficult. My desire to keep up with the rest of class was overruled by my fear of going too hard and passing out again, so when the instructor yelled to turn up our resistance dials, I just left mine where it was most of the time. By the end of week one I notice my sleep has improved drastically. I feel great. The fitness Gods are clearly not in my favour.

However, not one to quit easily read: stubborn I force myself back onto the bike and proceed to teeter on the edge of death for the full 45 minutes. It felt harder than any exercise class ever has.

I left in awe that my body managed it and in need of a very large hot honey and lemon. I know this because in my notes afterward I simply wrote, "eugh". I had to lower my resistance right down in order to stay on the beat and, if I took my eyes off the mirror for a moment, I noticed that I was significantly slower than everyone else when I looked up.

I gave myself a pep talk afterward and vowed to fuel properly that evening to give my body what it needed for the rest of the week. And it worked — I felt invincible, truly invincible and empowered as I bobbed my way through the class. I stayed on the beat for the majority of it and the sense of achievement only helped me feel stronger as the class went on rather than tiring. However, even feeling tired, and getting pretty dizzy at one point, I stuck with it and left feeling super proud of myself.

I had a lot of energy, I killed myself in the class and felt incredible afterwards. Having the same tough instructor for the second class of the week made me determined to do well in his class and I have to say I nailed it. I had a lot of energy, I killed myself in the class and felt incredible afterwards — it gave me so much energy for the rest of the day.

Psycle has become my therapy. I am so impressed with my body coming so far in so short a space of time. A miracle! I had begun to recognise the instructors and they had begun to give us a knowing smile as we walked in, which made the harsh lights of the studio feel less intimidating.

I was also feeling better in my clothes and noticed my legs were looking better. We ended our challenge with my favourite instructor — smiley, supportive Becky — and it was really fun. The music was great and the routine was an interesting mix of fast-paced and slow, grinding uphill climbs. I ended my final class running out before the final stretch due to starting my period. Hardly the glorified finish I had imagined, but a finish nonetheless. I actively wanted to exercise again for the first time in ages.

Scary-sounding but highly addictive. However, my self-confidence that I would resist alcoholic temptations was in full force and I looked forward to the last class, with my now-favourite instructor, with vigour; knowing my way around a Psycle bike pretty well by now.

Be sure to arrive early to your first class so that instructor can set you up on the bike safely. Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart, blood cells and lungs to provide oxygenated blood to our muscles allowing them to produce energy so we can move.

Basically the more cardiovascular fitness you have the easier it will be for you to move and stay active. It will also lessen your chances of getting Coronary Heart Disease and other cardiovascular health problems. A Spin class can be an effective and safe way for you to increase your cardiovascular fitness under the supervision of our highly qualified Spin instructors.

Muscle weighs more than fat, so people get confused when they want to lose their muffin top but start to see an increase on the scales! As you start to build more lean muscle definition you are likely to put on weight but your body shape will change in all the right places.

Plus the more muscle mass you have the more calories your body burns day to day, even when resting. Exercising makes you feel good about yourself and increases your confidence, all of which help to reduce stress within our daily lives. In the sixth of our benefits of spin, we are looking at the reduced risked of injuries. Unused muscles and joints become weak, tired and stiff. So when it comes to needing to move quickly, lift something heavy, or even getting out of bed, the fitter your body is the easier it is to complete daily tasks and the less injuries you will subject to.
