Spinning

What you see in this picture is a person taking a spin class. These are indoor cycles that are like no other. It's an aerobic excercis where you pedel while listening to motivating music and the instructor talks you through a vizualization of an outdoor cycling workout. They tell you when you are going up hill and downhill, they make you crank up the tension, pedel while standing up, surge (go real fast), etc. During a 50 minute class you typically burn between 300 and 500 calories, depending on how hard you work. This is why I love spinning!! I have tried so many workouts and never really get in to any of them. But for some reason, I really enjoy this one. The motivation is knowing how many carlories you can burn in such a short time. Oh...and you can get these really cool spinning shoes to wear that really enhance your workout. Come on...try it!!!
