Try Spinning

If you’d like to try something new, enjoy cycling, or plan to start up a fitness routine, check out spinning. Spinning is cycling on a stationary bike. The workouts are typically 45 to 60 minutes in duration. Certified trainers lead participants through a routine increasing or decreasing resistance, while maintaining various speeds.

What are the benefits of this workout? Spinning is a low impact workout, keeping joint pain at bay. Participants can choose their own resistance, which means you progress at your own pace. You have the support of the group and the instructor, but will not be competing throughout the workout. It works the entire body, different muscle groups and the cardiovascular system. The workout requires individuals to maintain posture and balance on the bike while cycling for the entire workout. This provides you with an abdominal and leg workout. Muscle endurance and cardiovascular training are increased throughout this activity. Not to mention burning anywhere from 500 to 1,000 calories, which fluctuates with the length of the workout.

Spinning classes are available at many gyms and recreation centers. Check out local locations for times and how many classes are offered a week. This workout is great for breaking up a regimen two or three times a week. Spinning definitely adds variety, and of course those health benefits are worth the work.
