Indoor cycling, often called spinning, is a form of exercise with classes focusing on endurance, strength, intervals, high intensity and recovery, and involves using a special stationary exercise bicycle with a weighted flywheel in a classroom or virtual setting.

The Top 3 Benefits of Spinning® Class

Enhance Your Mental Strength Spinning® can also help you develop a “can-do” attitude. Spinning® builds mental strength because as you’ll find the more you ride, there are easier days and then there are harder days on the bike. The important detail to remember is that you can ride through it all. Push through difficult hill climbs and coast through the flats. Both are a part of your time on the bike. This mental self-discipline increases with each pedal stroke and can be applied to other areas of your life involving self-control or confidence. As we like to say – you got this!

Burn calories fast. Studies show that engaging in 30 minutes spinning class will help you to burn up to 600 calories. Spinning is good for you depending on your pedalling intensity. Spinning motivates you to perform better (higher calorie burn and better results).

Abdominal workout. In spin classes, teachers keep on reiterating techniques and postures. Knowing the right posture will aid your training, it will enable you to engage different muscle groups all through the class. Moving from side-to-side and being in slightly bent position will make your central abdominal muscles to perform at an optimal level.
