Spinning Classes: 5 Reasons Why You Need to Learn to Love Them
17 April 2008 12:06 am
My bum gets sore… I feel claustrophobic…it’s too hard…my legs will get big! These are some comments often heard after a first attempt at a spin or RPM class. But I urge you to persevere. It takes at least three attempts to get into the swing of a cycling class.
What is a cycling/spin/RPM class?
Is a cardiovascular class done on stationary bikes to music. As stated on the Les Mills fitness site, It will increase your fitness levels, burn fat, and tone and shape your legs, hips and butt. You will gain leg strength and muscular endurance without building bulk.
Why you should learn to love them:
1. It’s an awesome fat burner and fitness booster. You will burn more calories in this class than any other Les Mills program and I dare say any other class on your timetable. The interval training style takes your heart rate up, then gives you a (short) rest, so you can do it all again. This is scientifically proven to be one of the most efficient ways to increase your fitness. Increased fitness equals more energy, faster metabolism, stronger joints and did I mention hot legs and ass!
