Spinning is a term for indoor, stationary cycling. Spin bikes have
fixed racing handlebars, pedals with shoes straps so that you don't
slip, adjustable bike seat and adjustable handle bar crank.
This
is great, because it's important that you are sitting in the right
position depending on your height for maximum comfort and results. The
intensity of your spinning workout session on the spin bike can be
adjusted with either a resistance knob or gear lever. Depending on the
type of spin bike you're looking at, some of the higher quality spin
bikes come with a gear lever which offers up to 8 gear changes for
harder workouts.
While spinning classes are very popular, more and
more people are buying spin bikes for home use as time restraints, and
hectic lifestyles make it very difficult to get to scheduled spinning
classes on time.
While a typical spinning bike class lasts for up
to 40 minutes, every minute working out on your spin bike does count!
Remember...your muscles can't count time so if you've only got 12 or 5
or 17 minutes....go for a spin on your exercise bike! It will still make
a difference! Like all exercise programs, start out with a warm up and
gradually build up speed and resistance as your fitness levels increase!
People
of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy spinning on the spin bike and
because the impact is so low, if you're after an exercise program that
doesn't add stress to the joints, but still want to burn maximum
calories, then a spinning exercise program may be what you're after!
A
spinning exercise routine using your spin bike will work out a few
different muscles groups. These include the quadriceps (thighs),
hamstrings (back of the thighs), hips, gluteus maximus (bum), and
abdominal muscles. As you can see...your spinning exercise routine can
really get great results if you go for it!
Spinning indoors on
your spin bike is a perfect way to exercise all year round because you
never have to worry about the weather. You can watch TV, read a book or
really ramp it up for an intense training session! It all depends on the
outcome of your exercise session.
I recommend investing in a pair
of proper cycling shorts as after a while you may need the extra
padding! For those looking for an exercise that really works your bum,
spinning on a spin bike will give you great results here! By the way,
make sure you drink plenty of water during your spinning exercise
program. Very important!
If you have any ailments, injuries or
queries, firstly consult with your personal trainer, a fitness
instructor or a physician. Make sure your seat is in the right position
and the handlebars have been adjusted to suit you. Your knees should be
slightly bent when positioned at the bottom of the stroke pedal. Your
elbows should be slightly bent, with your arms a comfortable distance
from the handlebars. Keep adjusting them until you've got it right!
Spinning
on your spin bike in the comfort of your own home is an excellent, safe
and fun way to burn those unwanted kilos while increasing your fitness
level. Because you can jump on your spin bike any time of the day (even
if it's only for a few minutes), you will see results fast if you keep
it up! Mixed with a healthy eating plan, spinning on your spin bike
will have you feeling like an athlete in no time at all!
