Spinning is a very good exercise for your entire body. I had 15% bodyfat before spinning and now I have 5% bodyfat. All you have to do is spinning 3-4 times a week. It has built me like a beast.

Spinning is amazing.

I do it in spirts, but when I do, the results are amazing. It’s difficult for me to make the 5:45 AM classes at the moment.

It tightens my legs like no other exercise has ever done.

Never taken Spinning but thanks for the great info on it (I’m like a zombie if I don’t get something in my tummy before working out:)).

as a spinning instructor, I am biased. :)
I do agree though, you need to have a positive first experience to really get yourself hooked. A beginners class is so important, not only for the form and language, but also so you don’t feel like a totally out of shape lump compared to your classmates! (Which is what I felt like the first time I took a class) It’s just a completely different/intense kind of workout and it helps to ease into it.

i think you should try out those 6am classes!

Spinning always seemed like absolute hell to me. I don’t know why- aerobics, pilates, sure, bring it on, but spinning? No way. I dunno what it is.

i used to teach spinning so of course i think it is a great gym workout. the instructor can make or break a class. it’s a wonderful idea to have a beginner class – the beauty of spinning is that you exercise at your own pace and ability – newbie’s might not realize that – you control the intensity -I suggest wearing a heart rate monitor to help with gauging when you should back off or pick up the pace – don’t worry about what everyone else is doing – if you stick with it you’ll be there in no time – finally, you are working out – its going to be hot and you are going to sweat and that’s why water and a towel are a must

I’ve only tried it once, but I’m not a big fan of spinning. Then again, I’m not a big fan of any sort of stationary biking. For some reason, I can run on a treadmill all the time, but I want my biking to be purely an outdoor pursuit. I’m looking forward to better weather in Minnesota so that I can start biking to work again.

Spinning is a great exercise, but don’t turn into one of those spinning nazis who starts yelling at the instructor..

“yo, turn up the tunes lady! Your megamix is putting me to sleep over here!”
