Spinning
Spinning is a high-intensity cycling class focusing on endurance, strength and intervals. It involves using a special stationary exercise bicycle with a weighted flywheel in a classroom setting with great music to keep the motivation levels up. The routines are designed to simulate terrain and situations like riding a bike outdoors. Some of the movements and positions include hill climbs, sprints and interval training. It is a great way to increase your fitness levels even in trained athletes. With increases in heart and lung capacity, spinning is the optimal cardio workout. The low-impact nature of spinning also makes it a great exercise for older adults or people recovering from orthopaedic injuries.
