Spinning 101

The Spinning program has five basic movements and three hand positions. Unlike typical group exercise classes, where the choreography is endless, the core movements of the Spinning program do not change.
Spinning is for strengthening the cardiovascular system (heart and lungs) and to train our bodies to burn stored fat for fuel. If your goal is muscle hypertrophy, hit the weight room.
Ladies. Unless you are spinning with a great deal of resistance over a lots of time, you need not fear, you will not develop Russian power lifter thighs!!
Cycling shoes and heart rate monitors are very useful tools if you are serious about training and not just sweating. Shoes enable you to incorporate the proper leg muscles and heart rate monitors let you know precisely where your work effort is. If you goal is to target fat, harder is not necessarily better.
