"You know how it takes more muscles to frown than to
smile? Pedal angry, you'll burn more calories"
Exercisers of varying fitness levels and ages have experienced weight loss
benefits from participating in the Spinning program. This is due to
numerous factors:
-
Spinning is a highly efficient aerobic activity
-
Scientific studies have shown that between 400-600 calories are burned
during a typical 40-minute Spinning ride.
-
Spinning is a non-impact activity
-
Risk of injuries is minimal since
cycling is not a weight-bearing exercise. Even if you're a new rider, you
can conduct numerous spinning sessions every week without suffering the
fitness setbacks caused by injuries.
-
The Spinning program is heart-rate based
-
The Spinning Energy Zones®
categorize training sessions according to heart rate parameters, which
ensures an ideally balanced workout. Effective heart rate training will
help maximize the metabolic benefits of exercise, and at the same time
prevent exhaustion and burnout.
-
You control your own resistance
-
Unlike choreographed exercise programs,
you can exercise at your own pace during a spinning training session. The
resistance knob on your bike allows participants of varying fitness levels
to exercise together at effort levels consistent with their personal needs
and goals.
-
It's Motivational
-
Inspirational music, group energy and our highly
trained instructor team ensure that your Spinning experience is the best
it can be every time you ride. When you feel positive about your exercise,
you stick with it! Consistent, safe exercise enables you to attain your
weight management goals and maintain them permanently.
