Spinning classes But many pedals also work with Shimano-style SPD cleats. What Happens in a Spinning Class? Bookings are highly recomended.
What is Spinning?
• Spinning classes are done in a fitness studio, with various light and music settings to create an energized atmosphere.
• Instructors guide participants through workout phases. Warm-up, steady up-tempo cadences, sprints, climbs, cool-downs, etc.
• You control the resistance on your bike to make the pedaling as easy or difficult as you choose. Constant adjustment is normal.
• Al
l you'll need is workout clothes, a towel (to wipe your face) and a water bottle.
• Spinning bikes have toe clips so you can wear tennis shoes. Imagine a whole bunch of exercise bikes lined up inside a health club studio. Riders are on each one, spinning the pedals at a rapid pace. The room pumped with music and an instructor which sits at front with a lead bike, calling out commands. In spinning classes, the intensity of the workout is influenced by a couple of things:
1) Cadence, or pedal rate
2) Resistance of the bike's flywheel, which can be continually adjusted throughout the class to make pedaling easier or more difficult
3) The rider's body position, as they either pedal from a seated position or rise from the saddle.
4) Ultimately participants determine their own levels of exertion. What are the benefits of spinning?
• Increased resistance to fatigue
