Different people have different reasons for loving spin class...

Weight Loss

For those looking to loose weight it is the perfect solution because the average person in a 40 minute class will burn 500 calories.

Fits all fitness levels

Its also great because people from all fitness levels can enjoy a heart pounding workout. Each person is encouraged to find his/her maximum effort and work from there. Another great benefit is that it tones your legs as you spin.

Muscle Building

The "climbing" exercise often incorporated into spin classes build strength and define muscle in your legs. Gaining muscle in your legs not only looks great, but also increases your metabolism, making it easier to loose weight. Women should not be afraid of bulking up their legs though, because these climbs are limited and will not create large, bulking leg muscles.

Why I love Indoor Cycling

On a personal level, I must admit that I love Indoor Cycling and am a bit biased. It is for good reason though. I tried running outdoors, elliptical machines, treadmills, and nothing gave me the workout that I get from indoor cycling. The group environment pushes you to try your hardest and give every ounce of your energy. I believe that it is the best overall workout you can find.
