Why I Became a Spinning Addict: The very first time I attended a spinning class, I truly thought I was going to die. My face was a deep cherry hue and my heart was pounding at what felt like a thousand beats per second. After 20 minutes or so, I stopped pedaling and looked around at all the crazies (at least, thats what I figured they must be) who were STILL pedaling as fast as their mighty legs would carry them. My own legs felt like noodles, and I seriously doubted that they could continue on. And yet they did. Indoor Cycling Reduces Stress: Spinning is a definite cardio workout. It raises your heart rate during some songs with certain moves, and lowers it slightly during others. The high cardio workout releases endorphins, which are known to fight stress more effectively than man-made remedies. Indoor Cycling Is A Take At Your Own Pace Workout: Because spinning is done in a gym on stationary bikes, it allows for class members to take the class at their own pace. Ive seen teen, mothers, and even grandmothers working out alongside one another, all at varying degrees of difficulty. And whats better is the face that others dont watch to see how well you are doing, as the lights dim and you can adjust the intensity knob discreetly (if you are a bit embarrassed by your current fitness level.) No more do you have to go running outdoors with your friend who can run laps around you! Indoor Cycling is a Low Impact Exercise: This means spin has minimal negative impact on your joints and knees, which is NOT the case with several other types of exercise. When the bike is set up correctly, you get a great workout while protecting your body from injuries. Give Spin a chance! The benefits of spinning might just change your outlook on health and fitness. It might even change your life, it changed mine, and Im never looking back. Thank you Angela Bond from Womens Health for sharing your story!
