| Spinning to burn calories and promote cardiovascular fitness | ||
 |
Spinning is a high-intensity indoor stationary cycling program that has become very popular in health clubs. Participants ride their bikes at levels of varying intensity, from hills to valleys, usually led by an energetic instructor accompanied by upbeat music. Like other aerobics programs, spinning is great for burning calories and promoting cardiovascular fitness. Unlike aerobics, it is a low-impact activity that is easier on the joints. However, the bicycle seats can be extremely uncomfortable. Some clubs sell gel cushions to bring with you for working out, and also recommend bike shorts with padding. Until you experience the pain of a spinning cycle seat, you may not realize what an important investment cushions and pads can be! Beginners should be extremely careful not to overdo a spinning workout or they will quickly give up. Start at a lower-intensity level and work up as you get stronger. | |
