Spinning, or Cycling as we call it, is the latest craze. Can you lose weight with cycling? Yes you can. The key to losing weight is to find an exercise or activity that you enjoy and to stick with it. Group cycling is a blast.
Spinning is an unmatched way to make your fitness goals a reality. With no complicated moves to learn, top-notch instructors and music that begs your legs to pedal, getting into the best shape of your life has never been more fun.
Great lighting, loud and exhilarating music, energized people and cycling machines along the wall you will feel like you just entered a hip sports bar or disco.
The class begins with a warm up, cycling at a casual speed with zero resistance. Each bike has resistance and is manually operated. For the warm up, you set the cycle at the resistance that works for you, as the class progresses, the instructor guides you on how much to increase that resistance while you keep pace. This way, your body exerts at the level at which it can perform best; at the same time, you do not under-perform.
Once warm up is over, the fun begins. Here the instructor takes you through varying speeds and positions which ensure your back, feet and stomach get excellent exercise. All the while burning calories, this is how you lose weight.
In this part of the cycling workout, the resistance is increased. As a result, your cycling speed comes down and the pressure is increased; more attention is paid to losing fat and increasing stamina. Cycling is a cardio workout for the overall conditioning of the body.
You will do hill training, ride along flat roads, and stand, trust us when we say there will never be a dull moment.
