Benefits of a Bike

A spinning workout is an excellent way to burn some calories and relieve stress. The workout employs a stationary bike, which has various tension levels. There are numerous benefits to a spinning workout.

• Burn Calories – Burn about 500 calories in 45 minutes. However the amount of calories varies on the person’s intensity of the work out. Bike can be adjusted according to your desire.
• Build Muscle Tone - The spinning workout may help you build some muscle tone. The workout will focus on the core muscles, as well as the buttocks and thighs. You can increase and decrease the tension of the bike; this is similar to riding up and down a hill. While you pedal, you will work your thighs and calves. If you maintain the correct position on the bike, you will also work on your abdominal muscles. When you pedal faster, you are likely to burn fat. When you pedal slower and have a higher tension, you will work your muscles.
• Increased Cardio Endurance - You will build increased cardio endurance. This is beneficial, especially if you feel weaker and start panting even after an insignificant effort, such as climbing a flight of stairs.
• Low Impact Exercise - A spinning workout is a low impact exercise. This means that it won't put pressure on knees and joints, as other aerobic or running exercises do. The workout is also recommended for people that suffer from arthritis.
• Relieve Stress - Any type of exercise is known to relieve stress. However, a spinning class can be a more efficient stress reliever than most types of exercise. This is due to the fact that the workout is intensive and it is a class where you can meet people and socialize.
• Reduced Risks of Injury - While running and jogging may present a high risk of injury. However, it's recommended to stretch prior to the class, so that you don't pull any muscles.
• Adjustable Tempo - The stationary bike will have adjustable tensions, which you can change according to your level of fitness or your ability.
