Indoor Cycling Class

Also known as Spin Class and Spinning

What It Is

An instructor-led ride set to music, a low-impact way to build endurance with the push of a group around you.

How to Do It

Set the Spin Bike seat level with your hip bone so your knee stays slightly bent at the bottom. Follow the instructor, but ride where you can talk in short sentences unless they call a sprint.

Tips

Add enough resistance that your hips don't bounce on the seat. Set your own pace your first few classes.

Skill Level

Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.

Type
