Benefits Of spin Class

Spin classes are the bomb.

The best way to get better riding is to ride lots. Speedwork on the bike is icing on the cake. You need the cake first, though without the cake, eating icing from the tub is still yummy.

Over the winter, I tend to go to several spin classes a month. They are quite a great workout. I also do spinnervals, basically a spin class on video. They have all got their benefits. From November to February, I am typically only on the bike 1 to 2 times per week, only for about an hour. Now, give me a good warm winter week, and I have been known to easily put a hundred miles on the bike.

I attribute alot of my bike fitness and power to the spin bike work I've put in the past 6 months.  I'm a fan and think it's a good supplement seeing how I'm not able to get out on the road every day for long periods of time.  Some people downplay it, but personally, I seem to have gotten alot out of it from when I first started earlier this year.

Through the Michigan winter months I do at least 2 classes a week and absolutely love them.  They keep me motivated....why pay for something and not use it.  Also, I'd rather suffer for 60 minutes with 10 other people than by myself in my living room.

good to know. I was planning on a few spin classes over the winter since I will not be riding outside in the snow.
