Signing Up For a Spin Class Might Just be What You’re Looking For

by Up Beat Cycling All About the 'Beat

Every day, more and more people are turning to (and even dare I say absolutely loving) indoor cycling and signing up for a spin class as a social way to get closer to their fitness goals.

You might think – “which is the best class for fitness near me?” and spin classes could very well be the answer. But what exactly do spin classes do?

Spin classes – as the name implies – are spinning or indoor cycling sessions. Though very recent, spinning as a form of a workout has been widely accepted by people all around the globe.

This is how it works. You can set your workout objectives based on your pulse rate, which can be measured by your hand or via a heart rate monitor for more precision. The classes typically last for one hour, in which you can get involved in riding simulated variations in terrain by shifting your resistance and cadence. Spin classes are, by and large, led by a single trainer or instructor who calibrates the pace of the classes by calling out the level of exertion participants should be at. A typical class will see you sprint in and out of the saddle, climb and relax. All the breaks are set to music and because of the intensity of the workout; it is not rare to burn off over 500 calories.

But shedding unwanted kilos is not the only thing good about spin classes. Spinning is also a great social class because, with maybe the exception of those joining in for their first class, anyone can participate in any available class. Considering that you are simply pushing yourself, there is no reason an absolute newcomer can't go with a friend who has been spinning for years. It is this absence of reserve of classes that appeal to participants of all ages, weights and fitness levels. From housewives to leading triathletes, everyone can start spinning. Sounds great, does it not?

That being said, you may need a few things to get started. The first thing is, as might be expected, suitable gear. Though you can wear your run-of-the-mill training shoes as you progress with the class and your workout you may want to start considering specialist shoes.

As you can see, signing up for a spin class is likely one of the best ways you can lose weight, stay fit and perhaps even make some new friends. So the question you really should be asking yourself is – “where is the best spin class near me?”
