Why You Should Join a Spin Class Today For Optimal Health
If you have never heard of spin class, you are definitely missing out. Spin isn’t necessarily brand new; it has been around a few years, but it has definitely grown in popularity over the last few. Spinning is a class that incorporates a stationary bike, some loud and motivating music, and some on-your-bike dance type moves. Of course, this is done in a class setting, so you also have the added benefit of a room full of like minded individuals, which ultimately makes for a great workout and a lot of fun. If you are still on the fence about joining a class, check out these great reasons to get to your local class today.
Hello Calorie Burn
In case you didn’t already know, riding a bike burns major calories. At a rate of 8-10 miles an hour, you can burn between 800 and 1,000 calories in one hour! That’s a lot! Now add the spin style dance moves, intervals of resistance and sprint riding, and the motivation of all of those around you, and you have some seriously major calories burned. Don’t be surprised if during one spin session, you burn the equivalent of your normal week’s worth of working out.
Get in Bikini Shape
It’s no secret that riding a bike tones the legs and rear. Spin class is no exception. If you want to work and tone the muscles in your bottom half, spin class is the perfect place to start. Along with burning calories (and fat!), your glutes and quads will get in some major work. It won’t be long until at least your bottom half is in amazing beach and bikini wearing shape.
It’s Fun
Who says a workout has to be boring? If you find a lot of workouts on the boring side, or get irritated with the same ol’, same ol’, then you should definitely give spin a try. The energy and camaraderie in a spin class is electric. You’ll feel the motivation and energy of the group, the music is motivating and fun, and you’ll be sweating your tail off in the process. It’s a win-win-win for everyone.
If you haven’t been to spin yet, it is definitely something that you need to try as soon as you can. You’ll get in a great workout, have a ton of fun, and get your body in great shape. Check out your local gym for a class to join today.
