Spinning

Warming up

We start cycling at a casual speed with zero or very little resistance -- this is the warm-up session. You cycle at this level for about five minutes. Once the warm-up is over, you enter the main zone.

Work those muscles

In the main zone, you are taken through various speeds and positions of cycling which ensure your back, feet and core get excellent exercise, keeping in mind your capacity and body type. With names such as hill training, flat road standing, etc, there is never a dull moment.

In this zone, the resistance is increased. As a result, your cycling speed comes down; more attention is paid to losing fat and increasing stamina. Spinning is a cardio workout for the overall conditioning of the body. Keep drinking water and let the glucose pump your body; don't let the cycling cease

Drink water, lose weight

Your time's up

As the main zone ends, you start on the stretches. Sitting on the cycle, you stretch your legs and hand muscles to ease them from pain and tension.

Some of the benefits of spinning

  • Spinning makes your heart pump at 80 percent of its capacity as opposed to 50 to 65 percent normally. This improves all your metabolic functions like digestion, repair, etc./li>
  • A one hour spinning session can burn anything between 800 to 1,200 calories per session.

    • This doesn't mean you gorge on food and then spin four hours a day. Remember, the body can't take more than one hour of spinning a day.
