Frequently Asked Questions about
Taking a Spin class
[Top]
I've never taken a Spin class before.
What should I expect?
Every class is a little different,
but one of the great things about our Spin program is that it is
adaptable to your fitness
level. Remember that there's no competition. Listen to your
body and adjust the resistance on your bike accordingly. If you're
a first timer let your instructor know. He or she can make
sure
your
bike is properly adjusted and give you a rundown on the Spin
program's five core movements.
Do I have to be in great shape
to participate in a Spinning class?
Anyone can benefit from the Spin
program. And because you can go at your own pace by controlling
the resistance on
your Spin
bike,
taking Spin classes is a great way to get fit.
What makes Spin class different
from other group exercise classes?
Top-notch instructors, invigorating
music and visualization come together to make Spin classes both
fun and effective.
If you've
ever left a group exercise class feeling frustrated, you'll
appreciate that there are no complicated moves to learn with
the Spin program.
Regardless of how fit, flexible or coordinated you are, you'll
get a great workout. Simply hop on your bike, set the resistance
to the level that's right for you, and let your instructor
guide you through an incredible ride.
How many calories will I burn in
a Spin class, and what is the approximate equivalent distance in
road miles traveled?
The number of calories you'll burn
depends on a number of factors, including your weight and the intensity
at which
you exercise.
Research indicates that on average, participants burn about
400-500 calories in a 40-60 minute workout. The "distance" traveled
depends on cadence; however as an estimate, an average 40-60
minute class at a cadence of 80-110 rpm is equivalent to
approximately
15-20 miles on the road.
How is taking a Spin class different
than just riding a stationary bike?
Spin class makes riding a stationary
more bike fun by adding variety and visualization into your workout.
A motivating
group setting,
energizing music and inspiring instructors make Spin class
an incredible experience.
What type of gear do I need to
participate in a Spinning class?
Comfortable workout attire is all
you need to get started. But the right gear can make a great class
even better. Padded
cycling
shorts and moisture-wicking tops will make your ride more
comfortable and a heart rate monitor will help you get the
most from every
workout.
Will taking Spin classes make my
legs bulk up?
The "climbs" that are incorporated into a Spin class
simulate the experience of riding up a hill. Climbing is an excellent
way to build strength, which means you not only get shapelier legs
but also stoke your metabolism since muscle needs more calories
to sustain itself than fat does. However, most climbs only last
a few minutes, which is not enough time to build big, bulky leg
and butt muscles. If you're ever in doubt share your training goals
with your instructor and ask them to help you create the ride that's
right for you.
How can I get more comfortable
sitting on the saddle?
If you're new to the Spin program
it may take a few sessions for your body to get used to the saddle.
Wearing padded
cycling shorts
or using a gel seat cover will definitely make your
ride more comfortable.
Sometimes my toes go numb
while I'm riding? How can I solve this problem?
The most common cause of numbness
is restricted blood flow to the feet, which can be caused by shoes,
shoelaces
or
toe straps
that
are too tight. Loosening laces and straps often
solves the problem. If this doesn't help, you may want to
consider foam
insoles or
front-ended orthotics. They can provide relief
by redistributing pressure on the ball of your foot.
How can cycling shoes help me in
a Spin class?
Cycling shoes are made with a very
stiff sole that enables more powerful pedal strokes. Cycling
shoes can also be
used with clipless
pedals, which facilitate a push/pull action
and more efficient pedal strokes.
