If I could recommend a group exercise class to anyone I
would definitely choose spinning.
I started spinning almost a year ago when I stumbled upon a
Victoria Pendleton spin class at my gym.
I had arrived for a morning workout and was asked if I
wanted to join in, I thought why not I have nothing to lose and a chance to try
something new.
30 mins of HIIT exercise and I was hooked, I liked the
variation in the exercise and how I felt like I had an excellent, strong
workout by the end of it.
So I built it into my routine, mainly to stop me running so
much, so I did a class at 6.30am on a Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday morning.
Now 6.30 is quite a good time to choose because you are
either awake and pumped for exercise or you are at the end of the week feeling
and need a little push – either way you are going to have a good workout
because no matter how unmotivated you are you cant help but get caught up in
the energy in the class.
Recently I chose to spin on an evening class instead, due to
work I had to miss my morning workout, so I thought why not its going to be the
same its fine.
Yes same title but totally different ride, this class was
far more intense and felt so much harder, it was more endurance work, hill
climbs and in the seat. It was tough, I keep saying I will go back, yet to make
it back to that class!!
I have had the same version of a spinning class taught to me
by 4 different instructors and they were all so different, I love the variety
of spinning and how even with the same instructor and music no two class is
ever the same.
I have also noticed that since spinning the cellulite has
totally gone from my legs! Other aspects like training legs each week and using
a brush to stimulate circulation, but I am sure spinning has helped!
Other benefits I have found my fitness level has increased,
I am generally quite fit, but I feel far fitter and leaner than I have done in
a while.
You work not only all your leg muscles with the varying
positions but also your core muscles, when you are out of the seat especially
engage your core for balance and extra muscle work!
Spinning is a low impact exercise when it comes to your
joints, there is no strain unlike when you run.
You feel the burn – calories and in your legs!
I highly recommend you checking out a class if your looking
for something new to try!
