No two spin classes are the same.


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!
